DISNEYLAND PARKING
DISNEYLAND HAS FOUR PARKING AREAS.
The main parking facility, the Mickey &
Friends parking garage, can be accessed directly from I-5, Disneyland Drive, or Ball
Road. One of the largest parking structures in the world, the garage is connected to
Downtown Disney and the theme parks by Disney tram. If you have a noncollapsible
stroller that's not permitted on the tram, the walking distance to the park gates is just
less than 1 mile along a paved outdoor path.

Pumbaa lot off Disney Way across from the Anaheim GardenWalk, and the Toy Story
lot south of the corner of Katella Avenue and Harbor Boulevard (a favorite of local
pass holders and our top pick for the most convenient place to park). From Simba you
can walk through Downtown Disney to the parks or alternatively walk to the Down-
town Disney Monorail stop and take the monorail into Disneyland Park (not Disney
California Adventure).ToyStory(andsometimes Pumbaa)offersshuttles toandfrom
the bus loop east of the Esplanade, or you can walk (about 0.5 mile for each). The
Pinocchio parking lot between the main parking structure and Disneyland Hotel is
used for overflow and for oversize vehicles and buses. Parking fees for all lots are
$16 for cars, $21 for RVs and oversize vehicles, and $26 for buses and tractors with
extended trailers. After parking your car, save yourself a frantic search at the end of
your day by taking a digital photo of the lot name and section number.

TIP
Warning:
Most shuttles don't add vehicles at park-opening or park-closing times. In
the mornings, you may not get a seat.
