The Disneyland Railroad circles Disneyland Park, with stops at Tomorrowland and Mickey's Toontown. The Disneyland Monorail connects Downtown Disney to Tomorrowland inside Disneyland Park. These options can reduce walking distances within the resort. A park ticket is required to ride the Disneyland Railroad and the Monorail.
