We were there for two weeks from August 16th and we went to DTD 3 times. Each time we were able to get parking near Pleasure Island once right near Planet Hollywood. We read all the reports about it being a mess and almost didn't go. We never had a problem. We went all different times. Once at 5pm, once at 7pm and once at 1pm.
Even more construction disruptions at DTD but fortunately that's offset by the reduction in crowds post-Labor Day. I was at DTD yesterday morning about 10:30 and it was nearly empty.
