Final Day for Disneyland ART Shuttle Service Announced

Official End Date Set for Disneyland ART Shuttle

The Anaheim Resort Transportation (ART) system has started scaling back operations as it prepares for a full shutdown this March. Travelers visiting the Disneyland Resort area should expect fewer available routes during this transition period.

Following our report last month, the Anaheim Transportation Network (ATN) is officially winding down operations for its ART bus system. Serving millions of Disneyland-area visitors annually, the service is on track to close permanently after March 2026. The transition began in earnest on February 7, with several routes already being consolidated as part of the final shutdown phase.

ATN’s original closure announcement, published on their official website, first disclosed the details of this “wind-down” process:

“After an extended evaluation of our current and future financial position and exhausting all options, ATN will begin an orderly wind-down of operations, with conclusion of service on March 31, 2026. This transition will be implemented in a manner to allow for coordination and transparency as services are responsibly concluded.”

The network has already implemented the first phase of this transition. ART routes 9 and 11 have been merged into a single combined service; however, destinations along these paths will remain accessible via the Katella Ave. / Ball Rd. Line.

Major changes are also coming to the on-demand ART service, which will be permanently discontinued on March 1. This affects transit to various Anaheim landmarks, including local hotels, the Outlets at Orange, and the Anaheim Indoor Marketplace. For many Disneyland guests, the loss of these shuttles marks the end of a primary link between their hotels and the Toy Story parking lot.

Disneyland officials have confirmed that shuttle service from the Toy Story Parking Area will continue even after the ART system shuts down. While specific details regarding the new provider or operation schedule have not yet been released, the resort is committed to maintaining that connection. Meanwhile, the City of Anaheim is reportedly exploring alternative transit options to keep the surrounding area connected, though no formal replacement plan has been announced.
