Can you work at Disney without a car?

Luckily, Disney hires a bus company called Transtar (and Transdev as well) which takes you to and from housing to pretty much everywhere on Disney property.



Working at Walt Disney World or Disneyland without a car is entirely possible, though it requires careful planning and a bit of patience. At Walt Disney World in Florida, participants in the Disney College Program (DCP) have access to a dedicated bus system called Flamingo Crossings Village Transportation, which shuttles employees between their housing and the various theme parks and resorts. For full-time residents of the Orlando area, the public "Lynx" bus system has several routes that serve the Disney property, and many employees utilize ride-sharing services or carpooling with coworkers. At Disneyland in California, the urban setting of Anaheim makes it even easier; the "OCTA" bus system and the "ART" (Anaheim Resort Transportation) shuttles provide frequent service to the cast member entrances. Many employees also choose to live within walking or biking distance of the parks. While the sprawling nature of the Florida property makes a car more convenient for errands and grocery shopping, thousands of "Cast Members" successfully navigate their work life using a combination of Disney-provided transport, public transit, and modern ride-hailing apps.
