Westside of Resort transportation options

[tator320]

We are staying in a short term rental home on the west side of the property. We appear to be within walking distance to the resort. We are staying near Bayless and W Cerritos. Near W Cerritos and Walnut. It appears to be about a mile to the Mickey and Friends structure.

Can we walk to the Mickey and Friends lot and get on the tram?
We can also Uber to DTD from what I have read.

Is there another idea I am not thinking of?

Anyone done this before that can provide best practices?

thanks!

I've stayed in almost the same area (Walnut & Goodhue). We ended up walking to and from the park; it was faster than dealing with the tram (we also had strollers, so we didn't want to deal with folding them up). Personally, while my feet were tired and would have probably preferred to use Uber, we found it wasn't that bad of a walk (I think you'd end up spending more time waiting for Uber).

The only caveat I would add is that I thought the walk was fine in the morning/day, but it was little quiet and a bit "lonely" at night. The parking structure actually makes things seems kind of quiet and remote at night (because it's so big). I wouldn't recommend anyone walk back alone, but that's pretty much common sense in any city. It was pretty well lit along the main roads (Magic Way, Walnut), but somewhat more dimly lit on the side streets. There were a fair number of other guests walking back along the same route right after the parks closed, but it thinned out pretty quickly.

Having walked from that side...it is pretty much quicker to continue to walk through DTD to the parks vs getting on the tram, especially during a busy time. May save you a few steps of walking but not much in the way of time.
