Does Disneyland Monorail stop at Disneyland Hotel?

The monorail passes through California Adventure and the Grand California hotel, but you can't board in either of those places. You can't take it to the Disneyland Hotel, either - although you could do that years ago before the hotel moved. The Downtown Disney stop is just a short walk from today's Disneyland Hotel.



No, the Disneyland Monorail does not stop directly at the Disneyland Hotel, although this is a common misconception. There are only two stops on the Disneyland Monorail: the Tomorrowland station inside Disneyland Park and the Downtown Disney District station. The Downtown Disney station is located at the far end of the shopping district, which is a short 5-to-10-minute walk from the Disneyland Hotel, the Pixar Place Hotel, and the Grand Californian. Guests staying at the Disneyland Hotel can use the monorail as a convenient "shortcut" into the park (bypassing the main entrance gates), provided they already have a valid park ticket and reservation. In 2026, travelers should note that the monorail is scheduled for a major refurbishment beginning March 30, 2026, so it will be unavailable for both transportation and sightseeing for a significant portion of the spring and early summer season.
