Hah. This didn't age well.Pictures please. Or tweets
Disney do love a 'Hidden' Mickey.
Think this is the first time they have coevred a parking lot in solar panels too? Lets hope it makes the resort more profitable.
I bet this has all to do with the European Union who wants to reduce Carbon emissions with 55% in 2030. There are incentives for comanies (and individuals) to do this. With Trump as president every positive effort that was made by Obama is killed off.I wish every Disney Park would do this.
Yea this would be a no brainer for the WDW parks. Not only would it help with the energy, it would make your car not be 700000 degrees if you decide to leave in the middle of the day
WDW probably would charge Premium extra for shaded parking places.
Dude... Don’t give them ideas.

But if schools five years ago could do it, then I don't see how it would be much of an expense to Disney (unless costs increase exponentially due to the size of the concerned area but still).Even with the incentives, it is a huge spend upfront. For a public company with a mindset like Disney (eg. No spend unless it has an ROI), they won't build it. I don't believe that this is a Trump/Biden thing. It's more about cost allocation. The Cincinnati Zoo put in covered parking with solar panels. It's just a matter of where you want to spend. This is an enhancement to the guest experience and saving on electric. Plus, they did put in the solar plant. I don't know why they put it there instead of over the parking area where they had hardscape. Another thing is that maybe they don't want a ton of accidents from people hitting the support posts or running over people because it was darker underneath the canopy.

Also I think concerns about it being 'darker' under the canopy would either be overstated or concern trolling. It's less obtrusive than going from outside into a parking lot. If people can't be trusted to drive under a shaded canopy, then they wouldn't be trusted to drive under trees, at night, to park, or to exhibit any basic maneuvering skills.
