Is there any public transportation home from Disneyland on New Years Eve?|121316

I am visiting LA over New Years to go to the Rose Bowl. My girlfriend and I are staying at the Westin Bonaventure Downtown and would like to go to Disneyland for the day on New Years Eve. We will not be renting a car, however, and I was wondering the best way to get there, and more importantly, the best way to get back after midnight if its even possible.

There is direct MTA express bus service between the Bonaventure hotel in Downtown LA and Disneyland on line #460 which picks up along Flower Street between 5th _ 6th every 30 minutes. The last return bus from Disneyland to Downtown LA is at 12:03 AM just after midnight every night! A one way fare is only approx $2.45 and travel time is about 1hr and 15 minutes each way. Good Luck!

Reality check here. I lived in LA and would not think of taking public transportation on NEW YEAR_S Eve. People in LA shoot their guns on New Years Eve. Police won_t even go in some neighborhoods that public transportation goes through on New Years Eve (well, until the shooting stops). When I lived there, on New Years Eve the police stayed under the concrete freeway overpass when people were shooting.

Be realistic. Take public transportation to Disneyland but consider spending a night at the Disneyland Hotel (or another Hotel in the vicinity) on New Years Eve.

Be safe and have a great time!

Yes, rent a car. A cab will cost twice what car rental will cost. There is NO public transport that runs the 35 miles from Anaheim to downtown LA late at night. The last metrolink train from OC to LA is 7:27. If you miss it, you will have to catch the last northbound Amtrak train.

Just so you know, that_s the most crowded day of the year at Disneyland.

My advice: Either stay at a hotel around Disneyland or rent a car. Public transport is not a viable option.

I fully agree. You do not want to be spending 2 hours in the middle of the night making your way back downtown, tired, when you can get there is less than an hour in a car.

Otherwise, take a cab to Union Station. Take the metrolink to the Anaheim station and a cab from there to Disneyland. Same on the way back.

Arrange the cabs with the concierge as LA does not allow flagging cabs.

You_ll be sorry! No, not the trip or the Rose Bowl, Benn there, done that and loved it. RENT A CAR. It is a must in L.A.

I lived there 31 years. Believe me, rent the damn car.
