Walking to the parks- best path?

[Mrs~Incredible]

Hi everyone! We have our first DLR trip booked this summer - soooo excited. We are renting a house near the corner of Katella and Walnut. Looks like we either need to walk up Walnut to Magic Way, or we could walk up Disneyland Drive.

Any tips/tricks/short cuts?

Any advice on the shuttle etc?

Thank you!!

I would probably go up Disneyland Drive to the security gates @ downtown Disney.

It will be a bit of a walk however.

You could also walk up Katella, turn onto Disneyland Drive and either:

- enter DCA through the GCH/PP entrance OR enter the GCH and cut through DTD; this will be the shortest path but you will have to wait for somebody to open to gate to their the DCA or GCH entrance
- enter DTD via PP hotel - no gate here

People kinda look at you funny waiting for someone to open the gate but it is an option.

It might be worth taking an Uber, depending on how much of a walk your group is up for.

A ride share (from the corner to the drop off area) currently shows as $15.77. The pick up area is a hot mess in the evening and it’s not uncommon for local fares to surge to $20 to $30.

I’d stick with waking. It’s only about a mile longer than if you walked from the ride share drop off - and it’s a pleasant walk almost entirely via the DLR.

Grab some drinks and or snacks with the money you save from walking as you stroll via DTD.
