On the official Disney site, there is a transportation map with the Lion King Tram Station across the street. Is this open in 2010, or is this the Timon parking lot that is now closed. If this is the closed lot, is there another shuttle we can hop on to get us to the entrance?
Thanks!
I assume the free Disney transportation is to their parking lots? I did see a Disney parking lot across the street and about 100 yards (south) from the hotel. But unless you could somehow get them to stop on Harbor Blvd, it wouldn't seeem like a good deal because you'd likely have to walk pretty far into the lot (it's large) to get picked up.
The walk to the park entrance is really quite short. Ten to 12 minutes maybe. For able-bodied adults, it's the obvious solution. For small children, perhaps not. That said, if they can't walk the 10 to 12 minutes, perhaps they need a stroller for the park anyway.
BTW, in follow up to my earlier questions, there didn't really seem to be much alternative to paying the hotel $14 to park. At the last minute, I wound up getting a car from Enterprise for $15/day on hotwire at SNA, so I just lumped the expensive hotel parking. If you're heading to Anaheim, SNA is a very relaxed alternative to flying into LAX. Car rental, including Enterprise, was a short walk from the terminal. Fifteen minutes or so to the hotel, unless you hit the infamous rush hour traffic.
