Hey there, Melissa. Welcome to planDisney. We're so glad you stopped by to share this question with us. It won't be long until you will be walking down Main Street, U.S.A. toward Sleeping Beauty Castle and I'm thrilled to help you prepare.
You are more than welcome to hop on the bus at the
Toy Story Parking Area from any hotel and you do not have to be parked in the lot. The bus will drop you off at the Main Entrance Esplanade between Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park. I know many Guests from surrounding hotels like to use this convenient option to get to the parks quickly. I also like to use the
Anaheim Regional Transportation (ART) shuttles (for a nominal fee) when I'm staying at a Good Neighbor Hotel. The buses are frequent, clean and convenient - especially after a long park day.
You'll be visiting during the spooky season, one of my favorite times of the year.
Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort is almost here and I can't wait to see the giant Mickey pumpkin greeting me on Main Street, U.S.A. Be sure to download the
Disneyland app for your visit where you can find a map of the resort, attraction wait times and (my favorite) the feature to
mobile order food and beverage. I imagine there will also be a spooktacular guide to all of the fall festivities in there as well.
Well, Melissa, I hope the information I've shared has been helpful. Please come back to visit us with any other questions you might have. Here's wishing you a ghoulishly good time at the Happiest Place on Earth!
Michelle
