Walking
From the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC), head west on Katella Avenue. Continue past the Honda Center and cross under the I-5 freeway. The Disneyland Esplanade will be on your left, between Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure. The walk is approximately 1.5 miles and takes about 30 minutes.
Public Transport
From ARTIC, take the Anaheim Resort Transportation (ART) Route 15 to the Disneyland Main Transportation Center (MTC). From the MTC, walk towards the parks; the Esplanade is the central walkway between Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure. An ART single-ride fare is approximately $4, and a day pass is around $6.
Taxi/Ride-share
From a nearby hotel in the Anaheim Resort District, a taxi or ride-share to the Disneyland Esplanade is a convenient option. Most rides within the resort area will cost between $10 and $20, depending on distance and demand. Ask your driver to drop you off at the Downtown Disney District or the Disneyland Main Transportation Center for easy access to the Esplanade.
