Greetings and welcome to planDisney, Laura. We’re so glad you’re here to share this question with us. Oh boy! Your visit to the Disneyland Resort is nearly here, so let’s make sure you’re prepared.
It won’t be long until you’ll be skipping down Main Street, U.S.A. with Sleeping Beauty Castle in the distance. Taking the shuttle from the
Toy Story Parking Area is a great way to save some steps and ensure that you can skip up and down Main Street all day. You are as welcome as can be to walk into the parking area from W. Katella Avenue to catch the complimentary shuttle bus to the Harbor Boulevard entrance to Disneyland. In fact, you may see other guests with the same plan walking in.
I will often stay at Good Neighbor Hotels on S. Harbor Boulevard and have also used the
Anaheim Regional Transportation (ART) buses. This service is available at a small cost for the entire day. Depending on which route you take, the service can be less frequent, so if your hotel is fairly close to the Toy Story Parking Area, I recommend sticking with your original plan.
You’ll be visiting just before the
Lunar New Year Celebration in Disney California Adventure Park wraps up. I look forward to this event every year and snacking my way through the Lunar New Year Marketplaces. The Foodie Guide for this year hasn’t been released yet, but keep an eye on
Disney Parks Blog for updates. There will also most likely be a guide to the festivities in the
Disneyland app.
Well, Laura, I hope this is helpful as you continue to plan. Please come back to visit us with any other questions you might have. Until then, here’s wishing you an absolutely magical and practically perfect visit to the Happiest Place on Earth!
Michelle
