As we approach the shutdown date for the popular Disneyland hotel ART shuttle system, the city has revealed that a new Disneyland shuttle will soon launch.
Staying at off-property hotels in the surrounding Anaheim area is the default option for many Disneyland visitors, and many have relied on the ART shuttle for transportation between their hotel and the parks. Since the news of the ART shuttle shutdown was originally revealed, we’ve been waiting for news of what will replace the service. Now, we have more details, including when the new service will launch and which hotels it will service. Keep reading for all details! At Mickey Visit, we report on all of the latest Disney news, like more details announced for the new Bluey attraction opening this month at Disneyland, and Disney World’s big announcements about attraction openings, discounts, and family offerings.

Details Revealed for New Disneyland Shuttle Service
As previously shared in our report on the shutdown of the ART shuttle service, the Anaheim Transportation Network (ATN) will conclude services on March 31, 2026. This has been a popular, affordable transportation option that many have relied on over the years for transportation between Anaheim-area hotels, the parks, and other local venues. The shutdown has already started happening for elements of the service ahead of the official end date.

Now, we have received new details on a replacement service that Disneyland visitors can take advantage of. The City of Garden Grove posted details on a new offering that will connect 10 Garden Grove hotels to Disneyland. The new shuttle service begins the last week of March and will cost a “small fee.”
We do not yet have details on what this small fee is or if several pass types will be available. For comparison, the standard one-way fares for ART are $4.00 for adults and $1.50 for children (ages 3–9) and seniors, with the All-Day Pass at $6.00. Multi-day passes are available, such as a 3-day pass for $16.00 or a 5-day pass for $25.00.

The City of Garden Grove and the Garden Grove Tourism Improvement District (GGTID) will launch a new shuttle service ensuring continued connection from Garden Grove hotels to the Disneyland Resort. Shuttle service will begin the last week of March and will cost a small fee per guest from participating hotels.
“Garden Grove is proud to welcome visitors from across the region and around the world,” said Mayor Stephanie Klopfenstein. “This new shuttle service keeps our hotels connected to the Disneyland Resort while inviting visitors to explore everything Garden Grove has to offer.”
Designed to support 10 local hotels and their guests, the service will maintain reliable transportation between Garden Grove accommodations and the Disneyland Resort area, connecting visitors to nearby entertainment, dining, shopping and regional transportation options.
“We are thrilled to have this new arrangement with Parking Company of America as it presents a great improvement for our guests to access the Disneyland Resort area easily and efficiently,” said GGTID President Dieter Hissin.
Three routes will be served between participating Garden Grove hotels and the Disneyland Resort, helping speed travel times and making it easier for visitors to move between their accommodations and nearby attractions without needing a personal vehicle. The shuttle system will serve the following Garden Grove hotels:
• Sheraton Garden Grove – Anaheim South
• Hyatt Regency Orange County
• Embassy Suites by Hilton Anaheim South
• Delta Hotels by Marriott Anaheim Garden Grove
• Anaheim Marriott Suites
• Hilton Garden Inn Anaheim/Garden Grove
• Homewood Suites by Hilton Anaheim-Main Gate Area
• Residence Inn Anaheim Resort Area/Garden Grove
• Great Wolf Lodge Southern California
• Hampton Inn & Suites Anaheim/Garden Grove
Shuttles will operate throughout the day with frequent service, providing hotel guests with easy access to the Disneyland Resort transit hub.
Given the hotels serviced, we assume that this is the type of route that the service will likely take.
We are still waiting on firm details for the service that will operate from the Toy Story parking lot, but we know that a shuttle service will continue from here.
