Red Car Trolley

Red Car Trolley

An Attraction in California Adventure

Last updated: July 25, 2023

At a Glance
Much like the vintage vehicles that travel up and down Main Street U.S.A. at Disneyland Park, these trolley cars add visual interest to California Adventure's entrance area. Modeled after the Pacific Electric Railway that served the Los Angeles area in the 1920s and 1930s (as seen in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?), the trolleys boast authentic details like narrating conductors who share historical tidbits during your travels, retro-styled interior advertisements, and realistic overhead power lines -- un-electrified, as the new eco-friendly cars are actually battery-powered. More transportation than attraction, the Red Car Trolleys ferry guests on a one-way trip between Buena Vista Street near the park entrance and the near the Animation Building (on a one-way trip), making a stop in Carthay Circle along the way.

It is usually faster to walk the route than to wait for the next Red Car Trolley, but if you wish to experience this nostalgic transportation, do so in the morning. Hop on at the station near the Animation Building exit; it should be less crowded than the station on Buena Vista Street near the park entrance.
