Quick question: Is the street between the DLH and Downtown Disney...

...usually open to vehicles?

When I was there in September it was closed, but they were re-paving it at the time. I wasn't sure if it was permanently closed (so it's safer for hotel guests to cross there) or if it was just like that for the weekend.

Thanks!

Hi there -- no, it's not open to vehicles. So, it's safe to walk there.

It's actually a "bridge" for pedestrians only, although it feels like a street. There is a street that runs beneath it, but does not actually stop at the Disneyland Hotel at that point, but just past there where the parking lot is.

Oh no that's not what I'm talking about, but I could see where you would think that. I'm just talking about the small 2 lane "road" that's directly east of the hotel, just steps from the Adventure Tower doors. If you look on Google Maps it's "Downtown Drive." There were stop signs and markings on the ground where DLH guests cross, so I figured it was usually open to cars, but I thought maybe they closed it off at some point recently.

I was actually hoping it would be open to vehicles in the future. If I happen to get a room in the Frontier Tower it would be easier to move the car to the little parking lot outside of that tower, and taking that street would be so much easier and quicker than exiting the DLH parking lot and re-entering on the GC/PP side.

Oh THAT street! I think only "official" vehicles can go on that one.

The street is not open to normal vehicles, nor is it open to through traffic. We've parked in that south parking lot next to the Frontier tower, and it was very simple to drive there going the normal route.

No, that road closed on Sept. 11th and has never been reopened since. Kind of sad as they used to have transportation that served as a shuttle to the hotels that went down it.

I remember that!
