Honda Center

Transportation

For guests attending the evening shows at the Honda Center, below are several convenient transportation options that you can choose from to get you between the Anaheim Convention Center and the Honda Center, as well as bag policy information.

  • Option 1: Personal Vehicle
    • D23 will offer complimentary parking in the Honda Center parking lots on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to limited availability, for guests attending the showcases.
    • Parking lots will open approximately two (2) hours prior to each presentation start time.
  • Option 2: D23 Shuttle
    • D23 will offer complimentary shuttles from the Anaheim Convention Center to/from the Honda Center. Wheelchair accessible shuttles will also be available.
    • All shuttles will operate on a continuous departure schedule, available on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to limited availability.
    • At the Anaheim Convention Center, shuttles will primarily pick up and drop off at Transit Plaza. Additional shuttles will pick up and drop off at Arena Plaza.
    • At the Honda Center, shuttles will drop off and pick up in the Katella Garage. Accessible Shuttle drop off and pick up location will be available later this summer.
  • Option 3: Rideshare and Taxis
    • A Rideshare pick-up location will be available in the Toy Story Parking Lot on Harbor Boulevard.
    • Guests using rideshare services and taxis to the Honda Center must be dropped off and picked up at the ARTIC station which is about a 7 minute walk to the venue.

Bag Policy

Security screening at all entrances with metal detectors and manual inspection are expected. In addition, the Honda Center’s very strict policies on “no bags” will be in effect.

Bags and purses can be no larger than 5″ x 9″ x 2″ and are subject to manual inspection — this includes clear bags.

  • All other purses/bags/clutches will not be allowed into the venue. Backpacks of any size (including mini backpacks and clear backpacks) are not permitted.
  • Guests who require a diaper bag or purse/bag for medical items, such as prescription medication, breast pumps, and other special medical equipment, are permitted to bring a bag no larger than 12 in. x 12 in. x 12 in. These medical and diaper bags must undergo additional screening and inspection.
  • The Honda Center does not offer a bag check. You will need to coordinate storage of your bags prior to arriving at the Honda Center.

See the Honda Center General Building Policies page for full details.

Anaheim Convention Center

Transportation

  • Parking will be available for $25 for standard sized vehicles ($50 per oversized vehicles).
  • A rideshare location near the Anaheim Convention Center will also be available in the Toy Story Parking Lot on Harbor Boulevard.

Bag Check

  • Two complimentary bag check locations are available to guests for storage of their large items while they are at Honda Center shows. One is in Arena Plaza and the other in Grand Plaza.
