Make sure to check the bus schedule for the latest timings. Stay on the bus for about 45 minutes, and get off at the 'Disneyland Dr' stop. From there, it's a short walk to Pixar Pier, just follow the signs towards Disneyland.

  • Trolley

    If you are near the Laguna Beach Trolley stop, board the trolley that goes towards the downtown area. Ride the trolley until you reach the stop closest to the bus station. Transfer to the OCTA bus (mentioned above) heading towards Anaheim. The bus ride will take about 45 minutes, and then you'll disembark at the 'Disneyland Dr' stop, followed by a brief walk to Pixar Pier.

  • Bicycle

    If you're up for a bike ride, rent a bicycle from one of the local rental shops in Laguna Beach. Head north on Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) until you reach the intersection with Disneyland Dr. This is a longer ride, approximately 20 miles, so ensure you're prepared for the distance. Once you reach Disneyland Dr, follow the signs to Pixar Pier, which will be just a short distance away.

  • Walking

    Walking from Laguna Beach isn't practical due to the distance (over 20 miles), but if you are determined, take Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) north.
