A new parking policy at DLR has some cast members upset. According to this
story in USA Today Travel titled "Parking Lost", Disney is opening up cast member parking lots to visitors in order to handle the crowds expected for the new Cars Land, and cast members are unhappy with the change.
Even as the Disneyland Resort scrambles to hire and train the last of
the thousands of new workers needed to handle the crush of summer
visitors looking for a first peek at Cars Land, current cast members are
considering heading out the door in reaction to changes aimed at
dealing with the congestion.
The biggest bone of contention, first alluded to at a series of
mandatory cast member briefings last month, is on extra-busy days this
summer allowing guests to park in the cast member parking lots and
forcing employees to park literally
miles off site, as far away as Anaheim Stadium and the Honda Center.
Reportedly, some cast members have resigned and others are appealing to management or the union. Some are afraid they will face much longer commutes with no compensation.

We were there last week and actually talked to some employees about this situation. One lady we talked to told us that there are two currently scheduled dates in June for parking at Anaheim Stadium. They may add more as the need arises but for now it's only two days. June 17 and June 24 because these dates AP holders are not blocked out. Thing is Anaheim stadium is only a 5 minute drive from Disneyland but the cast member did tell us she was told to arrive at least 90 minutes before her shift started to get to her "post" on time.
