Red Car Trolley

Cool way to get around without walking. Not necessarily faster, but relaxing and fun.

I like the concept. It’s a throwback to California history, but it’s just sooo much faster to walk to Hollywood Land than take the Red Car Trolley.
If you’re so inclined to take it, the cast members are really nice. They entertain you with small talk or trivia, and they answer questions.
There are only four different stops.
#1. Right by the entrance to Disney California Adventure on the left by the bathrooms.
#2. By the information board across from the Carthay Circle Restaurant & Lounge.
#3. In front of the Animation building.
#4. To the right side of Tower of Terror.

The Red Car Trolley is a throwback to the old Pacific Electric Railway that used to be part of Southern California’s mass transit system in the 1920’s.
This will be the first attraction you may be encounter as you enter Disney California Adventure
Board one of two «electric» street cars and let it take you along Buena Vista Street and Hollywood Land. As you travel aboard, a Cast Member will spiel information about the sights one would see along the way.
Starting on Buena Vista Street, there are 4 stops on the route. Buena Vista Street, Carthay Circle, Hollywood Blvd, and Tower of Terror. You can board and exit on any of these stops. But everyone must exit at either the Hollywood Tower Hotel or on Buena Vista Street.
Several shows can interrupt the Red Car from its operation, so be aware. The Cast Members should inform when the Red Cars have halted.
Also note, that generally it would be faster to walk than to use the Red Car as actual transportation. Just like the Horse-​Drawn Streetcars on Main Street U.S.A., these Red Cars are more for aesthetics to the time period Buena Vista Street is conveying.
But never the less, I would suggest taking a trip aboard a Red Car sometime during your visit.

Super fun way to get from Buena Visita street to the Hollywood Terror… it makes a few stops along the way so you can jump off, even thou it doesn’t go far it’s still fun to sit in the trolley.
