Paradise Pier Parking???

[Bete]

I'm confused here; please help. I went to Disney's site and printed their map of parking locations.

To my suprise I don't see any specific parking lot for this resort. There's a Downtown Disney lot that looks close and The Grand Californian resort has a lot close by but alas none for this resort.

We are staying here and now I'm worried were to go to park the car. We are coming in pass midnight when we arrive and I don't want this kind of fun at that hour. I hope I'm just missing something here; so, please help.

IIRC, there is a parking garage directly behind the hotel.

The garage is for Theme park parking.

Expedia.com mentions that self parking is offered, so don't worry about that. I'm sorry I can't be of more help. I don't know where exactly the parking is. I know when we stayed at the Grand Cal, we parked in the small parking lot across the street. Maybe Paradise Pier uses that lot also?

There is actually another parking structure behind the Paradise Pier hotel that is for hotel guests...

This is correct, the hotel has its own parking garage. You can either park the car yourself, or you can pay velet to do it.

I stand corrected.

If you look at the bottom left of the picture, you'll see a parking area, and a building complex with a rectangular pool. That's the Paradise Pier Hotel, with the parking garage right behind it, and parking for the Paradise Pier Hotel furthing to the right (west) of the hotel. East of the hotel, with the green roof is the Grand Californian, and northwest of the hotel is the Disneyland Hotel. Furthest north is the Mickey & Friends parking structure for the theme parks.

Just north of the Paradise Pier Hotel is the AMC theater, and then the ESPN Zone (with the baseball diamond on the roof). Just north of that is the main Downtown Disney parking lot. Between the Paradise Pier Hotel & AMC theaters you'll see a parking area - that is for the Grand Californian self-parking.

And while we're talking about parking Take a look at the Disneyland Hotel. There are three narrow towers - one on the north (Marina, where the main lobby is)), one on the east (Sierra - best view of Downtown Disney & parks), and one on the south (Bonita - above the waterfalls & koi ponds). Parking for the Disneyland Hotel is just to the north of the Marina Towers. There is a parking structure there, too. However, if you're staying at the Bonita Towers, you can park right next to the tower on the south, in that little parking area. I did that last year, and it was very convenient for me.

Also... if you look down on Disneyland Drive, before it hits Katella towards the bottom, you'll see an aerial Hidden Mickey.

Especially you, Mary Jo. I knew there had to be somewhere to park.

Nice pic Mary Jo. I never knew about the roof of the ESPN zone, or the hidden Mickey (and I walked from PPH to Katella twice on my last trip).
