Shuttle from Toy Story parking Lot?

[JenniferFolsomCa]

My hotel is close to the Toy Story Parking Lot. If I walk over, how often do buses run to the park and where do they drop off? Wondering if it is faster to walk? Happy to walk in the morning and then at the end of the night likely will wait however long it takes!

In the morning, if you’re planning on rope drop, in our experience it’s been very fast. Security lines were shorter and buses were lined up ready to go. This was at 7am. It’s nice because when you get dropped off on the harbor side of the esplanade, you walk right into the esplanade since you already went through security. I believe security is only at Toy Story lot until about 11am (someone correct me if I am wrong)

Depending on when you leave, it could take longer to get on a bus back to the Toy Story lot. Last time we just walked back to the Hilton because the lines for the Toy Story shuttles were long. (If was around 11pm I think). I know right after fireworks the line can be long too.

It's much faster to walk, I've stayed up near there a few times and always walk. It's not that far really.

I think it's faster to walk, but in the morning it can be a nice way to bypass the giant security lines at opening. One thing to remember is that it is a big parking lot, so once you get there you will still have a bit of a trek to the bus area.

My sister and I left at closing one time and I decided to take the shuttle back because my feet were tired, but she didn't want to wait so she and her family started walking back. I was on the bus and passed them walking back, but they ended up getting back to the hotel before I did because I still had to make the walk through the lot. So it can be nice if you want to rest your feet a bit, but it may not really be a timesaver.
