That will mean the project’s completion will be before most spring break periods. The garage will officially reopen on March 14.

The other Disney Springs parking options are the Orange Garage, Grapefruit Garage, Watermelon Parking Lot, and Strawberry Parking Lot.

The Orange garage was similarly refurbished in January 2025 and recently received themed barriers and stanchions in October. Disney Springs also has a new feature in the My Disney Experience app that lets you know when Disney Springs’ parking lots and garages are full.
