I was looking at the DLR website and noticed that the address is 1313 S. Disneyland Drive. So when was it changed to that from 1313 S. Harbor Blvd ?

Have no idea. Thanks for bringing it to light though.

Curious.
MapQuest places 1313 Disneyland Drive at the entrance of MICKEY AND FRIENDS parking structure.

As you know, "Disneyland Drive" is "West St." renamed for a block or two, which is parallel to Harbor drive. So it is essentially a one-block shift.

In the olden days (before DCA), I exited the DL parking lot, turned right, and had to look for West St. to make a right turn. to get on the Golden State Freeway.

For comparison, MapQuest gives the Disneyland Hotel address as 1150 W. Magic Way, which is the driveway you use to park in the Downtown Disney lot, and which you use to enter Mickey & Friends' alternate entrance, when it is open.

This was the page I was on when I made the observation, that's why I was curious. I guess all in all, it really doesn't matter.

The Disneyland address is still 1313 South Harbor Boulevard, Anaheim 92802. Unfortunetly in these days of mapping programs and GPS the official address does not get you to the parking structure at Ball Road and Disneyland Drive directly, hence the 1313 South Disneyland Drive address.

That's probably the best explanation, it makes perfect sense. Thanks.

Brilliant deduction, Holmes! :)
The Disney people don't want drivers to turn on the Harbor Boulevard offramp, like in the olden days, but to turn at the Ball Road offramp.
A concession to 21st century technology.

Like the tweet from Capt. Jack Sparrow you get while riding in Pirates of the Caribbean: "am hiding in barrel. pls don't give me away. LOL."


GPS: "Your destination is on the right. Turn right in 300 feet."
Me: "Sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that."
:eek:
