Always a great way to start and finish your day at the parks and Downtown Disney. Disney does there best to keep the flow moving but the lines can get fairly long. Pick up is at Mickey and Friends parking (close to Pixar Parking as well) and drop off within close walking distance to the parks and outside of Downtown Disney. It is a nice leisurely drive. Both parks are also within walking distance (cut through the Pixar parking structure and cross the bridge on level 2). Sometimes you just do not feel like making that trek though and the trams are a great, convenient option! Tip, avoid peak times for riding such as after the fireworks. Hang out and grab a snack, coffee/cocoa or even do a little shopping before heading out and let the crowds dies down. read more

The tram line, boarding to and from the park is seamless, hassle-free. The tram ride to the park isn't very long either. One of the closest trams to use for entering and exiting the park. read more

The Mickey & Friends Trams run from the Mickey & Pixar parking to Disneyland. You can also ride the Mickey & Friends Trams back to the parking lot. You'll need to go through security before riding the tram. Once through security, you'll line up to go onto the Tram. If it's busy, you may need to wait for a few different trams! The tram will drop you off towards the entrance to Disneyland and California Adventure. The drop-off point is right at the Disney Store at Downtown Disney. We usually take the Tram in the morning and in the evening to get back to the parking garage! It's great during the evening times with the nice breeze and having a break from walking around all day! read more

You have two options in life, foot or tram. Depending on the day it may be worth it to choose on foot, but on hot days it's best to start off with the tram, line or not. :) read more

Thank goodness for the Tram! Can you imagine if this didn't exist?! We would have to walk for dayssssss just to get to the front. Where we would walk some more lol The tram stops and picks you up right after you have your purses and bags checked. Once you are cleared you can pick a line- any line. And wait for the next tram to pull up. Sit down and enjoy the ride. It's a little bumpy, but smooth for the most part. Getting in and out isn't the easiest because of the way you have to lift the handle up to open the doors. I'm not sure who came up with that idea, but it sucks lol seems like there would be an easier way to open and close the doors to the tram. In any case, I'm still happy this thing exists! read more

No trip to Disneyland Resort is complete without a ride on the iconic Mickey & Friends Tram! This charming transportation takes you from the parking lot and drops you off to the security area by the entrance of the park. Then it takes you back to the parking lot after a tiring day in the park. The trams recently underwent a refurbishment, resulting in a sleek and modern interior. The vibrant Mickey & Friends artwork adds a playful touch, making the ride even more enjoyable. The tram is also kid and disabled friendly cuz they have spacious seats for family with strollers and wheelchair for handicapped people. read more

***# 59 Review ***whimsical tram ride*** **** 4 Star Service**** The Mickey and Friends Tram at Disneyland was a convenient and enjoyable way to start and end our magical adventure at the park. This whimsical tram ride not only provided a hassle-free transportation option from the parking areas but also set the tone for our Disney experience right from the get-go. The tram's cheerful decor, featuring beloved Disney characters, instantly brings smiles to our faces. It's a fantastic way to build anticipation as we journeyed towards the main entrance. The efficiency of the tram service ensured a smooth and comfortable transition, adding an extra touch of magic to our Disneyland visit. Overall, the Mickey and Friends Tram was a delightful and convenient introduction to the enchantment awaiting within the park. They also cater to Handicap ecv vehicles and strollers. read more

UPDATE: Mickey & Friends/ Pixar Pals Trams - Still, currently not in operation. Tentatively scheduled to restart in JAN 2022. Presently, pay $30 for parking and then walk from the parking structure via the tram route to the Downtown Disney District. (sigh) I never thought I'd miss the days of $15 lot parking that included a tram ride to Downtown Disneys. HA! - Big Aloha! read more

Since they moved the whole tram loading area from the Mickey & Friends Parking Structure outside area to the ground parking level underneath, the wait time for these trams have decreased by a significant amount. They now have more trams stopping by every couple minutes and it flows really fast. Really happy for the upgrade they had after all those years of waiting forever out in the heat with a system that never worked out. read more

First ride of the day... last ride for the night! Sometimes it's so packed you just want to walk away from this lovely ride and take the short stroll to Downtown Disney! Other times you get lucky and jump right on the awaiting tram! During the transport to and from its a good time to look around at the others joining the delightful ride! See the cute outfits or wonder where all these people come from? You'll have time to think about what rides you'll want to hit first? Or what shows will be on your agenda? When you return you'll try to keep your little ones awake long enough to at least get them to your car before they get super cranky!!! Families with strollers can either go in the front or all the way to end of the tram! If you go in the middle carriages make sure to fold up the strollers before the tram gets there! Five stars? I LOVE THIS TRACKLESS TRAIN! BNSF/Santa Fe family! read more

Mickey & Friends Trams - Tram ride! - Amusement Parks Near Me - Anaheim, California

Driver, you are clear. Beep! Beep! A leisurely stroll through Downtown Disney on the way to the entrance plaza is nice on occasion, but riding a tram that drops you off that much closer to the park entrance is slightly better than a Sherpa trek with a fully laden stroller. Adding an extra freight car to the tram train or even a separate stroller/wheelchair tram would be nice because the stroller line is sometimes an extended wait. It's already a chore packing up the gear, then getting through the security checkpoint. I'm sure it's frustrating for everyone involved having to wait for a small, slow moving vehicle with precious cargo to be loaded onto a larger, slow moving vehicle packed with anxious individuals ready to spend the day waiting in another line. Countless trams continue their cycle of picking up and dropping off. The anticipation of approaching the amusement park and the final carriage providing a moment of rest. Bringing your tired, achy feet closer to your vehicle. It's one of my favorite Disneyland rides. read more

I'm a fan of the Disneyland Tram! It is way better than walking to the park. You can see people walking on the sidewalk on the other side of the fence. I like how they have trams coming and going regularly. The wait is never very long, even if you need to take the next one. This "ride" has probably got the shortest wait time of all the rides in Disneyland! I love the breeze that we get along the way. So refreshing, even if it is hot air on a hot day! After walking all day, it is nice to be able to just sit and take a load off. When you reach the end of the line, you will need to remember where you parked and make your way to your car. read more

The DT is tram-tastic! It's an easy way to get from the main high-rise parking structure for the Disneyland resort to the Downtown Disney area. From there it's a quick walk over to the security line to get you in to the open plaza area between Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure. We've never had a problem with the tram. On busier days they open both left and right sides for loading in order to get people where they need to go. Occasionally we've had funny Cast Members on the tram ride who provide humorous announcements while you're chugging along. Overall this is a efficient, clean, and organized way to get to and from your car at Disneyland. But remember to stay behind the yellow line! read more

Mickey & Friends Trams - Tram time - Amusement Parks Near Me - Anaheim, California

Welcome to the FREE ride to and from the parking lot to Disneyland and Disney CA Adventures! Just a few minutes of walking distance, you will stand in line until the tram arrives. Just hop on, nap for a few minutes LOL and enjoy the ride! It's great they have securities to check bags and personal belongings before hopping on the tram. It's great if you're able to book a hotel near the tram so you don't need to drive, uber/lyft or walk long distance. I love Disney! read more

Why review a tram? For starters you are either on your way to Disneyland or CA Adventure. And anticipation of the fun you'll have is almost as exciting as the fun. You're going to do a lot of walking in a few minutes, so just enjoy the ride. And I am already there. It's just magical! read more

Mickey & Friends Trams - Amusement Parks Near Me - Anaheim, California

This is probably the best parking structure in all of Anaheim. If your goal is to over pay for a concrete parking structure connected to Disneyland Resort...well the fact is you don't have another option, unless this structure is randomly closed and then the Disneyland Resort expects you to drive across the resort using their poorly designated street signs to the additional parking by the Convention Center. The positive to the Mickey & Friends Parking Structure is that the Tram takes you right into Downtown Disney, which is a precursor for the wait times at the park. As can be expected anywhere, the longest wait is for security, although The Disneyland Resort does prove that customer service and efficiency can exist when doing a security check on your guests, something that TSA doesn't take into account at airports and sea ports around the country. Today one of the security guards stopped me, quiet within his right, letting me know that my glass bottle of Health Ade Kombucha was not allowed in the park...here is where the Disney cast member training kicks in...he tells me that he is more the happy to offer me a cup to pour the drink into based on the fact that he knew the cost of the drink. Just another reason why I don't complain about the $25 parking fee. The only thing more memorable then a day the Disneyland Resort itself is the memorable smell of propane fumes coming from the Tram! read more

[Review #265] 2018 Yelp 100 Challenge (30/100) While the tram service provides a convenience between the Mickey & Friends Parking Structure & amusement parks, it's like waiting for a ride due to overcrowding & security checks. For those families that have LOs that still sit in a stroller, the first & last car allows you to get on without folding the stroller -- A MAJOR PLUS when you have more than 1 child in tow & bags to lug around, & usually there's an attendant that will assist you. It's recommended to seat the kids away from the edge, especially if your toddler has tendencies to lean out. I've seen a few close calls, & saved a boy once by yanking him back by his collar. :-O Some visitors trek it to the entrance. Well, I have 2 LOs & figure I'll be walking enough once we're in the park, so no thanks... I'll take the tram. ;-) It's a pretty efficient system to get you to the Magic Kingdom called Disneyland. read more

This has become our favorite parking structure once we discovered it this year. We think it's better than the Toy Story lot, as it's closer to the theme parks. Can get quite crowded though! The tram fits a lot of people, all the stroller families usually take the first compartment in each cart. Short ride to the park, we love it. read more

The tram is what can take you from the Mickey and Friends Parking Structure. The team does save you feet at the end of the day, but also is the first ride/attraction of the day! The team can be fun, and feels like it is going faster than it is. Lines are horrible in the morning, and when the park is beginning to get closer to closing hours, but midday the lines are not bad and you can ride back and fourth to the parking structure with little to no wait. The team also moves swift so it can be chilly, even on hotter days. Although the team does not seem like much, it is pretty fun for your first ride of the day! read more

If you park at the Mickey and Friends parking structure, there's a good chance you'll be taking the tram after you come off of the escalators. You could walk it to the park, but you will still need to get through security when you reach Downtown Disney. Then you'll need to walk all the way to the esplanade. So save your legs for the parks! They now have you go through security screening at the parking structure before you get on the tram. Getting on the tram is free-for-all. Everybody congregates at one of the openings and then get in a row that has some space. If it's too crowded, don't stress out or worry, as there will be another one right behind it. As with anything Disney, they'll have decorations and stuff to look at along the tram route to get you excited for another day at the park. read more

I know weather is amazing in southern California, but one thing I also know about this tram is that the wind really gets in your face and your hair. Hold tight to your mickey ears and cuddle up with your buddies! I always get cold on the tram ride to the Downtown Disney and Disney parks entrances. They changed the security in 2017 - no more bag checks after the tram ride. The security is set up just outside the parking lots, in front of the escalators. After you pass security, you can wait in line for the tram. I found out recently there's no eating or drinking, not that I ever did. But I found trash on the tram once and I was really upset at whoever left that all over the seat and floor. read more

If you park at the "Mickey and Friends" lot, the Disneyland Tram will be just beyond the stairs/elevators/escalators and (eventually) the security checkpoint. I did see a few families with strollers, but not too many. If someone in your party necessitates a manual or motorized wheelchair, I think they have to take a shuttle bus instead. (Didn't see too many of those at Disneyland - wheelchairs, that is.) Waiting to get onto an available tram was only a matter of minutes. The tram lets you off just before you get to the "Downtown Disney District" area... which is just a brief walk to the ticket booths and the entrances to both Disneyland and California Adventure theme parks. A one-way ride is no more than 5 minutes long. Seats about 5 people to a row. Seat belts are not required, but little ones have to sit in the middle, of course. The best thing... it's FREE. 2017 Yelp 100 Challenge 6/100 read more

You know what Disneyland, you know how many millions of people exit this park near closing time. You should have figured out how to work the tram system by now. I am so tired of being funneled like cattle and waiting in massive crowds for the dang tram. I'm sure you have about 10,000 of these things...are you short tram drivers? This isn't even the busiest season. Figure it out! read more

Worst experience with all the construction going on in the park. Not happy how some of the other boarding sections got 2 trams while we waited for one to come around, and they lacked trams during a rush. The need to hire a better project manager to make it a better experience and streamline to process read more

Basically, keep your hands and feet inside and enjoy the ride! read more

The Disneyland Trams open aired trams are the best way that you get to and from Downtown Disney, Disneyland, and the California Adventure Park from the Mickey and Friends parking structure, which is by far my favorite parking structure for Disney. It always makes my family happy because you actually feel like you're at Disneyland while riding their tram versus hopping on one of their enclosed vans or buses from the Toy Story lot, which makes you feel like you parked miles away from the park. The Disneyland trams are so convenient to catch when dealing with a stroller and a toddler. You can easily wait towards the front of each section where each tram stops to get a wider seating area to accommodate your extra carry-on items and stroller. Otherwise at the other lots, you have to stand in this long line and hand your stroller and larger items to the bus driver to store underneath the bus and so forth. I'd much rather be responsible for my own things. The process ends up being simpler and much quicker. The trams come and go every couple of minutes, so there's never a rush to get in line for the stroller section and as always the Disney workers have the whole process very organized and running smooth. read more

Well I thought I wrote a review on this but I guess not, well here is the tram you hop on from the Mickey and Friends Parking Structure. At times it could be really packed lines to get on the tram and times it may be relatively quick. Just remember what level you parked on and remember these trams only go to the Micky and Friends parking structure and Chip&Dale lot. read more

I normally walk from parking lot to the park, but this is nice and helpful and takes you right from the parking structure to Downtown Disney near the entrance of the parks... this ride is free and does NOT go upside down or spin. There is usually a wait on busy days but the trams run constantly so your wait is never really that long in comparison. Definitely feels good on the way out since most of the time the feet are tired and ready to relax. Sit back and enjoy the ride! Thanks Disneyland Tram, you do feel good on the feet!! read more

Best tram ride ever! For your first ride in the Disneyland resort, the tram takes you to your Disney destination. The drivers are courteous, safe, and well organized. This definitely beats walking to or from the parking lot. Be aware of the stroller sections of the tram. I advise you to find a spot near the front of the tram when you want to enter the park and to find a spot near the back of the tram when you are exiting the park, this makes it easier if you are a person on the go and wanting to be closer to where you need to be. Don't forget to stay behind the yellow line when waiting for the tram and keep your hands inside the vehicle at all times for your safety. Make sure small children are placed towards the middle and watch your head as you enter/exit the vehicle. May you have a magical day wherever your destination may be! read more

What can you say I love the tram, hate the line. They shuffle you in and out as quick as they can with the minimal amount of public interaction. This has to be on purpose since most of the public getting in and out have a) really lame jokes to tell - is mickey driving? what kind of license does a mouse need to have, hehe... b) stupid questions - how long do you think the corn dog line is now. you know the one at DCA not at the end of mainstreet... c) ridiculous complaints - these seats do not fit my stroller very well and it is very uncomfortable... Anyway, the tram is an overall good thing. I will surely be back. read more

The Disneyland tram is a classic. A few years ago they updated the tram and put actual doors on it. I'm assuming because the tram is slow enough to just jump off and piss off the entire tram staff. I stopped using the tram because of the convenience of the A/C buses. This way I avoid massive unregulated lines and engine fumes. One thing to note: I loved that one tram employee who had a great goofy impression. You're the best man! read more

Yelp 2015 Challenge #87 So, you realized you parked at the Mickey & Friends Parking Structure but the theme park is still 1 mile away. So what do you do? Take the Disneyland Tram of course! You get to line up, follow the crowds of course, but when you exit the parking structure, you should be on the left hand side to get in line on the tram. You wait for the tram and then it takes you to the entrance of the Happiest Place on Earth. On the sides are joys and snippets of what lies ahead of you (: You get off at the edge of Downtown Disney, and lo and behold lies the entrance to the two theme parks :) read more

Very effective and fast. With the high volume of visitors Mickey & Friends Trams does a great job of moving these mass numbers from the parking lot to the park and to the park to the parking lot. They have several trams so you are never waiting to long. The flow is great. They have done a great job of accommodating so many people in a day. You go through security first before you can jump on the tram. This is a free service for guests (there is also a walk way if you aren't lazy like me and prefer to walk). Strollers must be closed before boarding. It is an easy on/off ride. The latest tram runs an hour after the latest park closing time (typically until 1am since Disney closes at midnight). The tram ride is truly the best after walking all day. read more
