Getting to the Anaheim Convention Center (Aug 14–16)
Once every two years, Anaheim becomes the center of the entire Disney universe — and 2026 is that year.
D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event returns to Anaheim from August 14 to 16, 2026, filling both the Anaheim Convention Center and the Honda Center with panels, showcases, and exclusive reveals that fans wait two full years for. With tens of thousands of people converging on the same few blocks, parking lots fill early, rideshare surge pricing kicks in fast, and traffic around Katella Avenue and Harbor Boulevard can turn a ten-minute drive into an hour-long crawl.
A private car service takes that stress off the table entirely, and lets you spend your energy on the panels and reveals instead of the parking structure. Here's everything you need to know before you go.
Why Traffic Around D23 Gets Difficult
The Anaheim Convention Center sits directly across from Disneyland, so D23 weekend overlaps with the resort's regular summer crowds — meaning the roads are already busy before a single D23 attendee arrives. Add the evening showcases at the Honda Center, several miles away, and attendees are often shuttling between two venues on a tight schedule.
Street parking near the convention center disappears quickly, and the official parking structures fill by mid-morning on peak days. Rideshare pickup zones near Hall D and the Arena get congested right as sessions let out, which is exactly when you need a fast, reliable exit.
Airport Transfers for Out-of-Town Fans
Most visiting fans fly into John Wayne Airport (SNA), about a 20-minute drive from the convention center, or Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), roughly 45 minutes to an hour depending on traffic. A pre-booked black car eliminates the need to hunt for a rideshare outside baggage claim or negotiate a taxi fare after a long flight.
Your driver tracks your flight, meets you at arrivals, and gets you to your hotel or straight to the convention center if you're landing the morning a panel starts.
Getting Between the Convention Center and Honda Center
The evening showcases are the marquee moments of D23, and they happen at a separate venue. Walking is possible but not pleasant in August heat after a full day on your feet, and rideshare demand spikes hard right before showtime.
Booking a car for the transfer means you're dropped at the door and picked up right after the credits roll, instead of standing in a scrum of phones trying to find your driver in a sea of identical sedans.
Group and Family Transportation
D23 draws families, friend groups, and cosplay crews who'd rather not split across multiple rideshares. A larger vehicle keeps everyone together, keeps costume pieces and bags in one place, and avoids the coordination headache of timing separate pickups.
For families with young kids, requesting a car seat in advance means one less thing to pack or worry about at the airport.
Quick Booking Tips
Book early. Weekend demand across Anaheim spikes during D23, and vehicle availability tightens as the dates get closer.
Plan the Honda Center transfer separately. If your schedule includes an evening showcase, book that leg in advance rather than trying to arrange it on the fly.
Build in buffer time. Pickup zones get crowded right as sessions end, so a few extra minutes of cushion keeps you from feeling rushed.
Confirm your pickup point. With multiple entrances at the convention center, share your exact location with your driver ahead of time to avoid last-minute confusion.
