Great tip if you are staying in the Garden Grove, Garden Grove, or Cambria areas. As of now security is only there until 11am. If you board afterwards, you have to enter security at the Harbor Entrance.
Great hack. As of Sept 2023 .. This was on Disney Web site Quote: " Bus Complimentary bus transportation is available to and from Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure Park and the Toy Story Parking Area. Buses operate until approximately one hour after the last theme park closes. Guests may also walk to the parks via Harbor Boulevard. " We will certainly utilize this hack .
Great video!!! Thank you so much for showing the whole ride etc. I'm staying at the Clarion later this year, and everybody keeps saying take the shuttle. Now i know where it is, how to do it, and where it drops off!!!
I can’t even say how much I hate linesX especially if I don’t have to be! Thankfully there are ways to avoid these at theme parks. Many thanks for watching ☺️
you had me at FREE! 😎 hope Disneyland never catches on to this hack 🤫 “continue to walk forward” heard that in Disney Stranger voice lol happy New Year 🥳 thanks for sharing ✨
I’ll be honest, the Wyndham is in that 50/50 spot where there’s not much between walking and getting the shuttle bus but yes, the win is likely to be not having to queue up for security at the park entrances once you’re there. If it was me, I’d take the shuttle rather than risk a long wait.
hi! Can we use this shuttle for adventure park too, or only Disneyland park? Going with 2 kids and staying at Residence Inn by Marriott at Anaheim Resort September 3-6
People who stay at hotels by the convention center including harbor and katella, and those who stay at J.W. Marriot, La Quinta, Hotel Clementine, World Mark, etc. Maybe I named all of them... Anyway, they're all within walking distance to the Toy Story parking lot where you can simply hop on the shuttle and drop you off in front of the entrance at the park. Please remember there are only two stops, the park and the parking lot. No stops in between.
In the previous video, you took ART from your hotel to the bus stop parking lot. Is this shuttle next to where the ART shuttle dropped you off? Thanks!
@@anthonyc8499 The Disneyland Shuttle bus embarkation point is at the Toy Story Parking Lot which is a walk away from where the Embassy Suites where I boarded the ART shuttle.
@@anthonyc8499 If you take the ART you will have to pass through security before heading to the park gates. The Disneyland shuttle has security before you board so you are dropped off past the security checkpoint. I hope this all makes sense?

When you get dropped off, do you have access to the entrances to both parks (pick the one you want) or is it only 1 park only entrance at that spot? ~~Thanks
Once you get off the shuttle it’s a couple of minutes walk into the Esplanade between the 2 parks and you head right to Disneyland or left to California Adventure
@@ALifeintheParks Thanks for the quick reply! We're going in September and staying near the parking lot, so this will cut about half of the walk which would be great. This was a great video, I appreciate it!
@@alyssacrnkovic2691 It’s so handy especially if you’re staying nearby and your feet will thank you later in the day. I hope you have a wonderful trip ☺️
Yes, just remember which Shuttle number you had and find the bus stop when you want to leave. If it’s close to the end of park opening there’s usually lots there waiting for guests.
I'm trying to figure out what is best from my hotel. I'm staying at Candlewood Suites and according to Google Maps, the Toy Story parking is closer, but the parking lots looks huge possibly making it more longer of a walk than the Disney Drop Off on Harbor Boulevard. Is there that much of a walk on Harbor Boulevard Disney entrance or woukd I do better just entering the Toy Story parking lot?
I’ve had a look at the map and if I was staying there I’d probably just walk into the parks. Maybe get a ride share back after a long day walking around though?
I am staying at the Hyatt place convention center. Can I access the Toy Story parking lot from Harbour and Convention way? I wi., be in a mobility scooter.
this is a great hack !!! thank you !! . we are coming from Canada and conversation rates are crazy and any money saving hacks will help alot ! However, when i did a google search for this parking lot, it says its permanantly closed. Is that true? Has anyone recently gone and can confirm? Today is june 9, 2023
I’ve just checked with the Disneyland website and the Toy Story is still available. My money saving tips are: If possible try to not eat in the parks, have breakfast beforehand and take snacks and drinks in with you. Many thanks for watching and commenting and if you have any other questions please let me know.
I think that you’d be better off walking to the shuttle as having to clear security there will be faster than at the Main entrance and it’ll save you feet after a long day in the parks. When are you planning on visiting?
@@ALifeintheParks awwww I wished I booked the 1st week of March but the end of February is when we were able to take off. Super excited to take my kids for the 1st time and hubby 💯

Many thanks for watching and letting me know, I would imagine the security at the parks won’t be too bad by that time.

Yes, it’s both a time and money saver which is very important when you’re on vacation! I hope you have a wonderful trip.
So you can walk into the parking lot off of harbor!! Thank you for answering my question that was never asked! 😂😂😂😂
@@davevaldez9130 A pleasure to have helped 😂
Great video!!! Thank you so much for showing the whole ride etc. I'm staying at the Clarion later this year, and everybody keeps saying take the shuttle. Now i know where it is, how to do it, and where it drops off!!!
I’m really pleased to hear that the video has helped you out, ART is so easy to use.
I hope that you have a wonderful vacation ☺️
Man i would hate to be in that line. What a secret hehe. Good work and have an awesome time.👍
I can’t even say how much I hate linesX especially if I don’t have to be! Thankfully there are ways to avoid these at theme parks. Many thanks for watching ☺️
you had me at FREE! 😎 hope Disneyland never catches on to this hack 🤫 “continue to walk forward” heard that in Disney Stranger voice lol happy New Year 🥳 thanks for sharing ✨
Free is my price too 😂 I’m glad you caught that, I just had to put it in.
Happy New Year to you too & all the best for 2023 🎉
We are staying at Wyndham Anaheim. Is it shorter to walk to the carpark or the Park? I do like the idea of security before getting to the Park!
I’ll be honest, the Wyndham is in that 50/50 spot where there’s not much between walking and getting the shuttle bus but yes, the win is likely to be not having to queue up for security at the park entrances once you’re there.
If it was me, I’d take the shuttle rather than risk a long wait.
So exactly what entrance to Toy Story did you take? Were you on Katella at Clementine or on Harbor at Convention ?
@@SL-vw9pm Hi, I used the Harbor entrance on this video.
hi! Can we use this shuttle for adventure park too, or only Disneyland park? Going with 2 kids and staying at Residence Inn by Marriott at Anaheim Resort September 3-6
Yes, the shuttle drops off in the same place for both parks.
I hope that you have a wonderful time ☺️

@@anthonyc8499 The Disneyland Shuttle bus embarkation point is at the Toy Story Parking Lot which is a walk away from where the Embassy Suites where I boarded the ART shuttle.
@@ALifeintheParks okay, thanks! I guess my confusion is connecting the ART shuttle drop off to the park entrance.

Such a magical place for your wedding, I hope it was a very special day for you both.
@@ALifeintheParks; Thank You, It Was A Magical Disney Wedding Day.

Hi! What time in the morning does the first bus leave the Toy Story lot to Disneyland?
Hi, the first bus leaves an hour before the first park opens so usually around 7am.
@@ALifeintheParks Great, thank you!
I will be by the Marriott Residence inn on New Year’s Day, is that location close to the Toy Story lot?
Hi there, yes you can walk to the Toy Story lot in a few minutes from that hotel.
@@ALifeintheParks thanks for the info
@@fantasybaby007 My pleasure, that hotel is in a great location so it may actually be easier to walk straight to the park entrances.
Is it a pain to load on this shuttle with a stroller? Does it have to be folded down, or is there a stroller parking near the front of the bus?
Strollers do have to be folded but I didn’t see anyone having too many issues doing so. Many thanks for watching.
@@ALifeintheParks Thanks for the quick reply! We're going in September and staying near the parking lot, so this will cut about half of the walk which would be great. This was a great video, I appreciate it!

I'm surprised Disney is still allowing this. Good to know though 😊
Me too, it’s not like Disney want to give anything away for free these days.
Definitely make the most of it while we can.
If I want to take this shuttle to downtown Disney, do I still need to show a park reservation?
Not at all, there’s no need to show any park information to use the shuttle.
@@ALifeintheParks thank you for the quick reply!
Do you catch it back at the same spot to go back?
Yes, just remember which Shuttle number you had and find the bus stop when you want to leave. If it’s close to the end of park opening there’s usually lots there waiting for guests.
@@ALifeintheParks how late do they go?
@@user-ez2bs3fq1x They usually run an hour after the parks close.
Good to know. I like that!
I wish I knew this before I booked as I would have stayed in a hotel much closer.
Cool hack. I would have never thought about doing it this way. LIKE 12. 👍👍👍👍
It definitely made me consider which hotel I would stay at next time. Many thanks for watching and Happy New Year 🥳

hello, if I am staying at hotel Lulu and would like to go, can I take this free shuttle to go there?
Yes you can, it’s just a short walk from your hotel. It’ll be perfect for you ☺️
The shuttle people don't check if you parked there? Like asking for a receipt or something
No there’s nothing like that at all, just head through bag check and hop on the shuttle bus.
No they don’t! Disney actually provides this shuttle service for free for anyone whether you park there or not! I read it on the website :)
@@amaliabalcazar5363 Yes that’s exactly it, such a great idea from Disney.
That’s a great hack! Will definitely give this a go when I’m back in Disney! nice video mate! 😎👍🏻
Anything you can get for free these days is a rarity. Many thanks for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it ☺️
What's the earliest shuttle start
They usually start at 7am

You need to do videos on the superior Disneyworld
I will be heading to Walt Disney World in 2023 so stay tuned for my videos from there.
Yeah if you don't like to tip the uber drivers just do this or walk.
Or just want to get there for free regardless
@@ALifeintheParks yes, many times i hear people say ride share is cheapest, so I tell them about this free way, since ride share really isnt cheap.
Looks a good ride tho
It saves so much time and money!
@@ALifeintheParks rather that then go in a taxi
@@chrisjohnsonadventures Exactly that! I much prefer free 😂😂
Im thinking of booking with Cambia hotel, how is the walk from there to the park or should we walk to the where the shuttles are?
I think that you’d be better off walking to the shuttle as having to clear security there will be faster than at the Main entrance and it’ll save you feet after a long day in the parks.
When are you planning on visiting?
Hi, planning to go towards the end of the month of February. I pray it doesn't rain
@@monie5490 I’ve been in early March and the weather was beautiful, I hope it’s the same for your trip.
@@ALifeintheParks awwww I wished I booked the 1st week of March but the end of February is when we were able to take off. Super excited to take my kids for the 1st time and hubby 💯
@@monie5490 I hope that you have a wonderful time, especially those going for the first time. That’s such a magical experience.
This is epic! I hope it's still valid. Can anyone verify if this info is current?
@@FamilyMatautia Hi, yes I have friends who visited recently and followed this same route 👍
Fantastic! Thank you!@@ALifeintheParks
@@FamilyMatautia I hope you have a wonderful trip!! Disneyland is such a magical place ☺️
@@ALifeintheParks Thank you so much! It really is! We can't wait! :)
