Which GN hotels have dedicated shuttle currently?

[taaren]

I searched through other threads and saw that in the past the Majestic, Candy Cane Inn, and Embassy Suites - North are the hotels that were grandfathered in and have dedicated shuttles to the park.

Are all three of those still true?

Are there any others?

This will be my first trip with an infant in over a decade and I'd like to stay either on-site/really close, which isn't in the budget for this trip unless my DVC wait list comes through, or stay somewhere with a dedicated shuttle since that makes it easier to take a stroller, etc. For the last several years when staying off-site we've been availing ourselves of Lyft but with a carseat/stroller that just seems like too much work.

I know that Hyatt Regency Orange County does! It's air-conditioned. They have 4 shuttles per hour, 2 going to the parks and 2 leaving the parks.
$6 dollars per person per day, but unlimited back and forth privleges!
i'm planning to use the dedicated shuttle on regular park days but Lyft/Uber on our Magic Morning!

The Doubletree Hotel Anaheim and the Embassy Suites Anaheim Orange offer a free shuttle to and from the park. The schedule varies, but it was every hour last weekend. The shuttle is shared by the 2 hotels. It starts at the Doubletree and then goes to the Embassy Suites. Coming back from the parks it stops at Embassy Suites first and ends at the Doubletree.

It takes about 10 minutes or less from the Embassy Suites. So just a few minutes more for the Doubletree journey.

Hope this helps.

stay within walking distance....across Harbor Blvd. from the entrance.... no worries then about shuttles, times, strollers, etc.

Tempting as BWPPI is, that is over $100 more per night for my dates, as is Fairfield Inn, and the others compared to the Embassy Suites. Wish I could justify that but this quick trip is on a budget. Originally I hadn't planned on taking the infant until my next VGC reservation in October.

The Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton Inn and Embassy Suites share one bus. We used it in May for a quick trip where we wanted to be close to the park and loved the bus. It was so convenient, never full, always on time. 6 minutes door to door.

Our bus did not go to Doubletree; that post above is a different Embassy. These 3 are on Harbor, 2 blocks away.

To clarify. Those 3 hotels share a parking lot and one bus stop. So it is only one stop; not several.

I’m booked at the Hyatt regency for next week. So making sure I read this right, they don’t share with any other hotels? Also, 4 an hour, so every 15 minutes is pretty much a given? Also. Do you know how early the shuttles start and how late they go?

Candy Cane still has free shuttle that runs like clockwork every half hour both ways. And they are one of the last motels with a breakfast and free parking (I mean it’s all folded into the price I’m sure but it’s worth noting).

The Majestic Garden (used to be the Sheraton Anaheim) still has its private shuttle. I haven't stayed there since it became the MG, but I would prefer to stay at the CCI. There are few resort area hotels with a private shuttle. Most area hotels use the ART system.

You can use ART with most of the hotels. That seems better. We stayed at one of the hotels by the Orange Mall. It was a real PITA. Walking distance with babies is very important for us since the transfer takes time and kids don't like to wait. Have you checked out the Best Western that's farther down past the Hyatt House?
