Disney Springs Parking Alerts Roll Into My Disney Experience App Ahead of Garage Closures
If Disney Springs parking stress has ever tried to ruin your shopping or snack plans, Disney just tossed guests a little pre-arrival pixie dust. The My Disney Experience app has quietly added a new parking availability alert for Disney Springs, letting you know if parking has hit capacity before you even turn onto Buena Vista Drive.

The new feature lives inside the Park Hours & Info section of the app. On days when parking is wide open, nothing new appears. But if Disney Springs garages reach capacity, a bold red warning pops up letting guests know parking is currently full. It is a simple change, but one that could save a lot of circling, sighing, and spontaneous valet decisions.
The timing is not random. Disney Springs is preparing for an extended maintenance closure of the Lime Garage, which will reduce available parking for much of the next two months. The closure will happen in two phases, from January 12 through February 11, and again from February 17 through March 13. With one of the main garages offline, parking demand is expected to spike, especially on weekend evenings and during peak dining hours.

If you are planning a visit during the closure window, checking the app before leaving your resort or home could save you time and frustration. Consider arriving earlier in the day, using ride share, or keeping an eye on alternative garages if Lime is off the table. It may not be the flashiest update Disney has rolled out, but this one could be a real lifesaver when Disney Springs is buzzing.
