When it comes to construction at the Disneyland Resort, things can move pretty quickly. Something you see one day might be totally different the next. Take Pixar Pals Parking Structure for example. Just yesterday we reported that the pedestrian bridge had been delivered overnight, ready for installation. And just like that, the pedestrian bridge has now been installed at Pixar Pals.
Pixar Pals Pedestrian Bridge
According to Josh D’Amaro (president of Disneyland Resort) on Instagram, the parking deck will be open in a few weeks and the pedestrian bridge will be open September 2019.
If the parking structure does open on June 23, as Investor’s Business Daily reported in May, then it looks like it will not be completely finished when it’s open.
The bridge has been connected to both sides of Magic Way. However, it looks like more support at the connection points will be needed. This bridge is definitely not suitable for walking on just yet.
And the rest of the bridge that goes into Downtown Disney is far from being finished. It’s no wonder the opening of the bridge isn’t expected until September.
Even if the pedestrian bridge won’t be open for a few more months, it’s exciting to see Pixar Pals come together so fast. Are you ready for more parking to become available at the Disneyland Resort?
Wow! I thought this would be an enclosed Bridge like they’ve been installing here in Las Vegas (bulletproof glass) along Las Vegas Boulevard (we used to call the old pedestrian bridges “suicide bridge” for a reason, especially when it was super windy).
I’m sure within a decade this Pedestrian Bridge will be updated to be on par with the enclosed Bridges (carpeted and air conditioned) that you also find in Las Vegas connecting a multi-level parking structure to the Casino (especially the percentage of pedestrians leaving said parking structure who use mobility scooters).
It’s adequate, but it’s cheap and sometimes that could describe what goes on at a Walt Disney Theme Park (especially when the bean counters at Team Disney Burbank won’t offer up the 💰 required to do it better).
Reminds me of that bridge in Florida. I can totally see this thing collapsing in a few days.
Not even close. The bridge that collapsed was made of pre-stressed concrete (and a flawed design at that), the Pixar Pals bridge is pre-fabricated steel…
