Welcome to Attraction Checklist.
It’s time to ride a unique ride at Disneyland. The Mickey & Friends Parking Lot Trams!
Despite some heavy searching, I cannot find any description of the Mickey and Friends Parking Structure trams on the Disneyland website.
In any case, here are five fast facts about the Mickey & Friends Parking Lot Trams at Disneyland.
1. The Parking lot trams debuted at Disneyland in 1955.
2. The Disneyland tram system was initially designed by Bob Gurr at the request of Walt Disney himself.
3. The first trams were basically tractors similar to what haul luggage carts around airports but they were attached to specially designed bench wagon where guests could sit, back to back, for the trip to the front gate.
4. The Mickey & Friends Parking Structure debate in July of 2000.
5. The Disneyland Parking Lot Trams were shut down due to the COVID Pandemic and remained down even after the pandemic was over. Guests simply walked from the parking structure to the front gate. It was a heck of a walk, let me tell you. The trams, mercifully, returned on February 23, 2023.
Let’s go ride the parking lot trams. I will say the audio for this episode was recorded on two different occasions. From the parking structure to the main gate was recorded on July 30, 2023 and from the Main Gate to the Parking structure on November 4, 2024. John B deHaas was along with me on the return trip so after the audio we’ll give you our thoughts on this attraction. This is a binaural recording so if you have headphones put them on now as we experience the Mickey & Friends Parking Lot Trams at Disneyland.
