Does anyone know the ceiling height for the new garage?
My Ford Excursion is 7'4" high and doesn't fit in most, if any, garage structures.

Thanks.

This is a great question!

I searched around, and couldn't find the exact height, but did find a few videos/pictures and it looks like "regular" height. Doesn't seem like it will be tall enough for your vehicle.

According to the hanging yellow bar at the entrance of the garage, clearance is 14'5". Google Disney Springs Parking Garage Driving Tour.

Yea!!! Thank you so much ... that is the one thing I didn't think to google.

I'm glad Disney thought of this ... lots of people bring bigger/taller vehicles on vacation, especially the campers.

Depending when you go, it seems to be a bigger problem getting TO the garage than it is getting INTO the garage. The temporary traffic patterns and parking have that place a bit of a mess in the evenings. Definitely looking forward to when they have most of that work done.

Right. I avoid the DD area completely now. I can wait until they're closer to finishing. The only luck I've had parking, within the last 10 years, was 2 years ago when I got there at 8am so I could get in line early for Chip Foose's autograph.

Just out of curiosity, what was Chip Foose doing there? We've met him a couple times because my DH is a huge fan. I would never have thought to ever see him I'm Disney! :mickey:

Chip comes during father's day weekend and does a meet & greet at one of the stores.
