Here is my description of the overpass.
***
You won't believe it until you see it -- but the Golden State freeway offramp of Disneyland Drive will bring you to the FLYOVER LANE -- which is an overpass that:
(a.) is inbound toward Mickey & Friends in the morning;
(b.) is outbound away from Mickey & Friends in the afternoon.
That's right. The same overpass has dual "one-way" usage, depending on the hour of the day.
From the I-5 southbound, when you get to the stop light at the end of the offramp, notice that the intersection is not a T-intersection, but a 45-degree kind of intersection.
The lane of interest is to the hard left.
There is a green light atop the lane(s), showing that the lane is ready for the in-bound direction toward Mickey & Friends.
A red light atop the lane(s) show that the lane is closed to you, and is now dedicated to drivers leaving Mickey & Friends who wish to get on the Golden State freeway.
You will see Orange traffic cones which prevent entry from the south-bound driver at night.
There are no orange traffic cones in the morning for south-bound drivers.
Plus, there are those yellow vertical strips, showing you that you cannot enter, late in the day.

It took me a while to figure out that this lane could even exist.
I thought I was going crazy, the first time I said to myself, "Hey, wasn't that lane going the other way a few hours ago?" -- "How could I, as a driver, use a lane to the hard-left of me? Won't I be driving into on-coming traffic?"
In the afternoon, you may see that the Anaheim police department will arrange the traffic cones and vertical strips, accordingly.
When you leave Mickey & Friends at the end of the day, toward Ball Road, note that the "extra" left-most lane is indeed the Flyover Lane, will either be available (lit green) or blocked (lit red).

I was flabbergasted, when I figured it all out.
I was tickled pink the first time I arrived at DL at some hour close to 3:00 p.m., where I saw the Anaheim PD manipulating the cones and dividers, accordingly.
