Given the size of many of the 12 Disney resorts around the world, many have multiple options for transportation between the parks, hotels and shopping complexes.

Both Disneyland in California and Disney World in Florida have the now-iconic Monorail launched decades ago while the latter resort in Florida also has the Minnie Vans or SUVs decked out in Minnie Mouse’s signature polka dots through a partnership with Lyft.

Disneyland Hong Kong has the MTR train line and bus shuttles between the main hotels. The parks in Shanghai Disney Resort and Disneyland Paris are too close to one another for transportation between them but both also offer train and shuttle service to the main hotels in the area.

Anaheim Transportation Network to shut down over “current and future financial position”

The first Disneyland park to open in California in 1959 is, however, about to lose one source of transportation after the Anaheim Transportation Network announced that it plans to wind down operations and close down over the next few months.

The bus service launched in 1998 and has continuously connected visitors to the Disneyland Park between Toy Story parking lot, Downtown Disney’s Harbor Boulevard and several locations in downtown Anaheim for the last three decades.

“For nearly three decades, the Anaheim Transportation Network has supported mobility in the Anaheim Resort — serving residents, employees and millions of visitors,” the ATN Board of Directors said in a Jan. 28 statement announcing the closure. “After an extended evaluation of our current and future financial position and exhausting all options, ATN will begin an orderly wind-down of operations.”

The Anaheim Transportation Network buses have been running since 1998.

Why is the Disneyland bus service going bankrupt

As of 2026, the bus service charged $6 a day for an adult day pass — the bulk of the costs was covered by the Anaheim Tourism Improvement District through a fee charged to local hotels based on their size and room count.

The funds generated in these ways stopped covering rising operating and labor costs in particular; the ATID has already already earmarked $2.5 million in emergency funding just to keep the buses running until the spring.

ATN representatives also cited “stagnant revenues and rising day-to-day operational costs” of keeping the service operational, while CEO Diana Kotler spoke of “the often-unrealistic expectation that a transit agency can simply identify new ‘revenue sources’ to resolve its economic difficulties.”

The Orange County Transportation Authority continues to offer public bus transportation to several stops at the Disneyland resort but the loss of ATN cuts into specific routes and leaves those trying to come into the park without a car with fewer convenient options.

A spokesperson for Disneyland issued a statement to news outlet Nexstar saying that the park is “aware of the situation, recognize[s] the value and importance of resort-area transportation for guests and […is] actively exploring next steps” to ensure transportation options are not lacking. Statistics from the American Public Transportation Association show that the ATN serves approximately eight million passengers in the area in a given year.

At the moment, all ATN service is set to end on March 31.
