Is Disneyland lacking?

The Disneyland esplanade — from here, you are feet away from everything Disneyland has to offer!

The Disneyland resort doesn’t require the kind of transportation needed at Disney World, thanks to its more compact nature. Still, it boasts ample transportation with an effective bus system, trams, a limited monorail, and the Disneyland Railroad (if you want to count that). Still, Disneyland has one glaring transportation issue that doesn’t seem close to being fixed.

The Disneyland Resort is fairly walkable in its entirety. Walking between Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure takes about a minute or less. Walking between the Disneyland esplanade to EVERY Disneyland Resort hotel takes less than 10 minutes. The Downtown Disney District is LITERALLY seconds from both theme parks. With this in mind, transportation is limited at the resort. However, that doesn’t mean we couldn’t use MORE.

Disneyland Monorail

If you’re traveling around Disneyland Park and don’t want to walk, your best bet is the Disneyland Railroad, which has a station at nearly every corner in the park: Main Street, U.S.A., New Orleans Square, Mickey’s Toontown, and Tomorrowland.

If you want to get from Tomorrowland all the way to Downtown Disney and vice versa, just hop on the Disneyland Monorail.

The Monorail

If you want to go between Disneyland and Disney California Adventure? You’re making that trip by foot or ECV. There is no vehicle that will get you between the parks.

In fact, now that the Red Car Trolley has been discontinued, there is no longer any mode of transportation within California Adventure to get you from the front of the park to the back.

Goodbye, Red Car Trolley

Therein lies the problem: California Adventure lacks viable transportation. 

A quick ride on the monorail from Disneyland to California Adventure could be a game-changer — especially if the station took you into the heart of California Adventure.

Disneyland Monorail

With DisneylandForward underway, Disneyland will be undergoing a massive expansion over the next decade that could include possible new modes of transportation. Could we see the monorail expand or the creation of something similar to Disney World’s Skyliner? One could hope, especially if that transportation extends into California Adventure.
