Do any of the on DLR hotels offer transportation to the parks or is it walking only?

We’ve never stayed on property before. Looking to book the last 2 nights of our trip on property. Is it walking only? How long is the walk from each hotel?

It is walking only since everything is so close. I'd say the walks from any of the 3 hotels could range from 10-20 minutes depending on quick you walk. Grand Californian is closest, Disneyland Hotel is 2nd closest, and Paradise Pier is further away. I've only stayed at the Disneyland Hotel and from the hotel to the park gates it was maybe 7-10 minutes? Depending on how busy downtown Disney was.

It's basically walking only, but it's under 15 minutes from any of the hotels.

Now if you're staying at DLH or PPH, technically there is transportation offered if you count the monorail. You would have to walk part way and then board the monorail in DtD and it would drop you off in Tomorrowland. But it's not really that helpful as transportation because it's not that much farther to walk to get to the gates, and sometimes it can take a while to wait for the monorail. It can be fun though. Also they're going to rip up that part of DtD and I expect the monorail will be affected at some point, but I don't know when.

A little more detail. As others have said, all walking distance:

If mobility issues are a concern, you can rent an ECV from an outside company like Deckert's. They will drop off and pick up at your hotel. And don't forget that regardless of the proximity to the parks, all on site hotels will require guests to go through bag check/security before entering DTD or DCA (from the GCH). So allow time for that, too.

That was a great link but I believe it is now dead. Here is a map of walk from DLH

Note that for Paradise Pier, it assumes that you can take a shortcut through the Grand Californian, which is no longer allowed (going to the parks; returning from the parks via the Grand Californian is still possible).

Good point!

My bad. The link is still up. When I tried it yesterday for some reason it came up dead.
