Hi Rahima! Welcome to planDisney! Thanks so much for sending us your question!
I'm happy to hear that you have plans to spend time at the Disneyland Resort! The
Anaheim Marriott happens to be my favorite
Disneyland Good Neighbor Hotel. There are a couple of ways to arrive at
Downtown Disney from the hotel, which is approximately 1.2 miles away, and usually takes less than 10 minutes to arrive. If you have a rental car, you could drive there and park in the designated parking lot.
Parking at Downtown Disney costs $10 for the first hour, and you can get free or discounted hours with validation from purchases in the district. With a minimum $20 purchase at any Downtown Disney location, you can receive up to 3 additional hours of parking, or up to 5 additional hours if you validate with a table-service restaurant. Parking prices are subject to change. Aside from the cost to park a vehicle, entry is free at Downtown Disney. You could also
use Lyft, which is the official rideshare of the Disneyland Resort. In my experience, the price for your ride is dependent upon the time of day and the ride option you select.
Before you arrive, be sure to
download the Disneyland Mobile App. The app gives you convenient access to information about the theme parks, dining, and shopping. If you plan to dine during your visit, you can
make Advanced Dining Reservations up to 60 days before the date you wish to dine.
If you have more planning questions about
The Happiest Place on Earth, please feel free to send them to us at planDisney. We can't wait for you to be our guest, and we would love to help!
Wishing you magic,
Lisa
