The Disneyland ART shuttle system, which has provided transportation between Disneyland, area hotels, and nearby tourist attractions for decades, has now officially ended operations. This service has been a vital service for many guests staying at off-property hotels in the Anaheim area surrounding Disneyland, and local hotels have now made moves to fill this transportation gap with new offerings.
We just received more details about a new shuttle servicing 4 hotels near Disneyland, as well as an update on the shuttle service operating from the Toy Story Parking lot. This is key news to be aware of if you are planning a visit soon. Keep reading for all of the details! Mickey Visit brings you the latest Disney news and planning resources, including Disney World testing a new ticket type for a big summer discount, and Disney cracking down on some Disney Vacation Club point rentals in a new policy.

This service will utilize dark airport-type shuttles, running fairly regular routes in the morning, on demand, then at night. You can see what the shuttles look like, with the hotel logos on the side, in the photo above.
We confirmed the shuttle system pricing and cadence with the hotels participating. The Anaheim Marriott confirmed that the service will have a $6 day pass, roughly matching ATN.
The operation schedule for the shuttles is as follows:
- 7-10 a.m.: every 30 minutes
- 10 a.m.-8 p.m.: every hour
- 8 p.m.-30 minutes after parks close: every 30 minutes
So far, there have been no issues with traffic or rideshare backup on Harbor Boulevard today with the launch of the new service.
The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), a public transport system, is also still running in Anaheim.
Disney had previously confirmed that a shuttle would continue to operate from the Toy Story Parking lot following the ART shuttle shutdown. We now have information that the new shuttle buses running from Toy Story are from the same operator as the cast member shuttles. Guests who park at Toy Story Parking Lot will continue to have transportation to and from the Disneyland Resort.
