Red Car Trolley Skipping Stops During Final Week at Disney California Adventure

Due to high demand, the Red Car Trolley at Disney California Adventure will make non-stop trips between Buena Vista Street and Sunset Boulevard during its final week of operation.

Final Week of Red Car Trolley

The Red Car Trolley will travel directly between its stations on Buena Vista Street (near the main entrance) and Sunset Boulevard (near the Hyperion Theater) with no intermediary stops at Carthay Circle (across from Carthay Circle Restaurant) and Hollywood Boulevard (near the Disney Animation building). The Carthay Circle stop has a sign stating, “Red Car Trolley Does Not Stop Here Today.” Hollywood Boulevard is lacking such a sign but the trolleys are skipping the stop.

The Red Car Trolley is closing permanently to allow for construction on the Avengers Campus expansion, which includes Avengers: Infinity Defense and Stark Flight Lab. Though these rides won’t be where the trolley track currently runs, they will necessitate the demolition of the trolley barn backstage.

Saturday, February 8, 2025, is the final day for guests to ride the trolley. An extended queue is set up at the main Buena Vista Street station to accommodate all the guests taking their last trip.

The attraction/transportation opened with Buena Vista Street in July 2012 as part of the $1 billion reimagining of Disney California Adventure. The vintage-style trolleys are modeled after the Pacific Electric Railway trolleys used in Los Angeles from 1887 to 1961.

  1. I took the Red Car Trolly this morning (2/1/2025) around 11a and we made all stops. Started at Buena Vista Street. Stopped at Carthay Circle, Hollywood Blvd, and ended at Sunset Blvd.

    Could the skipping of stops be due to crowd size?
