    If I’m staying at a hotel near the toy story parking lot can I just walk to the Toy story parking lot and hop on the shuttle and have it take me and my kiddos to the main entrance? Also at the end of the evening, where would I catch the Toy story shuttle?

    Hi there, Jane!

    Welcome to planDisney! You are just four sleeps away from your time in the magic. I bet you and your kiddos are looking forward to strolling down Main Street with the sights and sounds and thrills of your park day ahead!

    Happy to report that Guests can use the Toy Story Parking Area shuttle whether or not they are parked in the lot. In fact, I have done this a few times myself when staying at a Good Neighbor Hotel. When entering the parking lot, be sure to walk along the designated areas for pedestrians as it can be busy with cars moving in and out frequently. On your way into the parks, the shuttle will let you off near the Main Entrance Esplanade on the Harbor Boulevard side of the Disneyland Resort. You will go through security, and then it's just a quick walk to the Main Entrance Gates. This is also where you will load the bus at the end of your day to take you back to the Toy Story Parking Area. It's very seamless, and you will be back in your hotel before you can say Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo! 

    While you are in planning mode, I always recommend checking out the Park Hours and Entertainment Schedule ahead of time to help map out your day. You will be visiting on the same day that Disneyland Park is hosting a Sweethearts' Nite, so it will be closing to regular day Guests at 8:00 PM. This is a special ticketed event separate from a standard theme park ticket. The good news is that if you have Park Hopper tickets, you can just hop, skip, and jump your way over to California Adventure, which will be open until 10:00 PM. You'll get to enjoy the Lunar New Year Celebration, which is one of my absolute favorites! 

    Jane, I hope we've set you up for a magical day! We are always here for planning tips and tricks if any more questions come up ahead of your visit. 

    See ya real soon!
