Best parking lot

I like dropping my family off at the harbor drop off and then parking at gardenwalk. It’s like a 15 minute solo walk to the esplanade from there. Much easier than dealing with a stroller and a tram.
 

My favorite is the Toy Story lot. No stairs or elevators to deal with. And way smaller lines for the shuttle. But since it is not a structure, there is no shade or protection from the rain. Never been a concern for me, but a factor for some people. Security and safety are top notch at all of the Disney parking options.
Toy Story Parking Area 1854 S Harbor Blvd Anaheim, CA 92802

https://disneyland.disney.go.com/guest-services/parking/ - Official Disney parking. 3 choices. $30 per typical vehicle.
https://anaheimgardenwalk.com/parking - No shuttle and no savings for all day parking. $30 as well. Cheaper option if you plan to park for less hours as it is $3/hr with $30 max.
 
For gardenwalk you text +1 (949) 532-8293 :

AA(insert parking ticket number here)
Like AA1234567890

Has to be within 30 minutes of parking and it will take a few hours to get the validation confirmation. $12.50 for all day parking. We find it is worth it instead of dealing with strollers and babies on buses or trams. Just drop them off and meet them inside.
 
Hey everyone

We have an airbnb a few mins drive away . Which parking lot at Disneyland would be the most convenient to park at ? Things like distance to park , safety etc


Thanks
If you want to stay in a “Disney bubble” you’ll want to park at either the structure (Mickeys be friends/Pixar pals) or the toy story lot.
 
Whichever one is closer to your airbnb. From east/south, Toy Story. From west/north, the garages. Or fewest left turns. The area around the parks is too congested to waste time circling for a fractional advantage.
