What Is ART? The Simple Shuttle Solution for Disneyland Visitors
If you’ve stayed off-property near Disneyland recently, you may have noticed something missing, those little private hotel shuttles are slowly disappearing, like the last churro in a snack line. But don’t panic! Many hotels are now served by the ART Shuttle (Anaheim Resort Transportation), and honestly? I think it’s one of the best kept secrets for saving both time and money on your Disneyland trip.
Why wrestle with traffic and pay those steep daily parking fees when you can just hop on ART, relax, and let someone else do the driving? That’s more cash for Dole Whips, Mickey ears, or let’s be honest, another round of churros.
So, what exactly is ART?
The ART Shuttle is Anaheim’s resort-area transportation system, designed to whisk you around the Disneyland Resort area and beyond. Sure, it’ll get you to the parks, but it also connects you to the Anaheim Convention Center, local hotels, and other popular spots, no car keys required.
How it works
Runs when you need it: ART starts service an hour before major destinations open and keeps running until half an hour after they close.
Frequent pickups: Buses arrive about every 25 minutes, so you’re never waiting long.
Easy for everyone: ART buses are accessible, with ramps and other thoughtful features for guests with mobility challenges.
Flexible tickets: From single rides to multi-day and family passes, there’s an option for every trip style.
