That is huge but if I’m being honest I thought it would be bigger.
A real eye opener here is that Disneyland is only around 2000 feet, or 6 and a half average-ish city blocks, wide. But it feels much larger because all the paths are deliberately designed to be meandering and there's no way to just walk straight across it.
The design of Disneyland is astonishing to be fair, how everything is cleverly hidden away, all the forced perspective and general systems in place.
It is. The largest lot is cut off this map, to the southeast of the park.
It’s impressive how much “public” transit they have in place for getting people into and out of the park (almost as if spending some money on public transit pays massive dividends). Even then, they still have to put people’s cars somewhere.
Disney World in Florida goes to greater lengths obscuring and spreading out how much parking fills up the park. It’s design is also a lot less confined by urban boundaries than Disneyland.
