Disney Transport, Anaheim

This is very convenient to take when visiting from out-of-town or for local So Calers like me who want to go park to park (or airport) without taking the car. During the ride, I saw classic Disney films. This along with the comfortable seating made for a relaxing ride.

Hi,

I know that you are not looking for a rental car service but i recommend renting a car while you are in California. I visited Disneyland last year with my family and we also visited the San Diego Zoo. We rented a minivan for 1 week for We rented from Anaheim and dropped it off in San Diego. The one way drop off service was very convenient for us. We rented it from Rent4Less Car Rentals. check out their website: http://www.rent4less.com.

Thanks,

These little red buses were very quaint and very helpful for getting around Anaheim HOWEVER don't believe too much of what the timetable says. One line was meant to run every 20mins yet we waited over an hour for it!

The bus drivers themselves are your best asset so just ask any of them any question and they are generally very happy to help.

This bus can be called from baggage claim in LAX. It costs $19 (28 round trip) and goes straight to the hotels in Anaheim without any stops in between. It has four main stops around the Disneyland area, but it will stop near your hotel if you let the driver know. It leaves every 30 min (every 1 hr early in the morning and late at night) and can take up to 1 1/2h hours (depending on traffic). From 6 AM to 12 AM.

The buses are very comfortable and the bus drivers are accomadating.

If you can not get a shuttle from your hotel (most have them for free) you can drive and park in the Disneyland parking structure and take the tram from the parking directly to the two theme parks, California Adventure and Disneyland.

The tram is free but the parking is not. You will pay between $8 and $15 to park for the day. Get their early to be able to park at the lower levels.

A good trick we found for parking was to go to the top and work our way down as there was loads of parking on the down side.

In the past, Anaheim hotels have all run individual shuttles to Disneyland. In the past few years they have all got together to participate in Anaheim Resort Transit (ART). ART is a series of shuttle busses that go along pre-determined routes, about every twenty minutes, and connect the hotels with the theme park. A day pass is $3 for adults and can be purchased at your hotel, occasionally a nice driver will sell you one on the bus, but I'm pretty sure they're not supposed to do that (and most won't).

The shuttles run for most of the day, but there is a two-hour lunch break in the middle of the day with no shuttle service. Even if your hotel is near the park, by the end of the day you will have walked so far that you'll definitely want to take that shuttle home, so buy your pass BEFORE leaving the hotel in the morning.

Anaheim Resort Transit pick up at the hotels and take you to the huge bus park at Disneyland. Remember what letter rank they drop you at, and pick up is usually half hourly.

There is a small charge. They date the bus ticket - it is only valid for 1 day. But remember, if you do go back to the hotel to freshen up, keep the ticket, and use it to return to Disneyland at night.

Ask the concierge at the hotel, there maybe a ticket machine there where you can purchase your ticket.

The monorail has stops at Tomorrowland, the main gate and the Disneyland hotel. Unlike the Monorail at Disney World in Florida, this one goes right into the park- right by the Matterhorn.
