If you’re heading to Disneyland this summer, your adventure can now start well before you reach the park gates.

To mark the 70th anniversary of the Disneyland Resort, the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner has rolled out a brand-new train wrap inspired by the magic of the Happiest Place on Earth. Running along Southern California’s scenic coastline, this special edition train features colorful Disney artwork and a healthy dose of nostalgia that’s sure to bring a smile to both commuters and vacationers alike.

A Moving Tribute to 70 Years of Disney Magic

The new design is more than a marketing gimmick, but it’s a rolling tribute to seven decades of Disneyland magic. For travelers, it adds a dose of delight to an already beautiful route between San Diego and San Luis Obispo, making the train ride feel more like an attraction than a mode of transport.

The Pacific Surfliner has long been a favorite for those headed to Anaheim, offering comfortable seats, oceanfront views, and direct service to the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC), just a short shuttle ride or ride-share away from the Disneyland Resort area.

This partnership between Amtrak, the LOSSAN Rail Corridor Agency, and Disneyland is a reminder that the journey can be part of the fun. Families can avoid the stress of traffic and parking while enjoying a relaxed and scenic trip to the park.

Discounts and Travel Tips for Families

Travelers planning a trip to the park should also know that Amtrak often offers kids to ride free promotions and discounted Disneyland packages. Riders are encouraged to book early, especially during the summer travel season.

Trains stop in major cities including Los Angeles, Orange County, and Santa Barbara, making it a flexible and family-friendly option for vacationers across Southern California.

Celebrating 70 Years of Magic

Disneyland opened its gates on July 17, 1955, and this summer marks seven decades of churros, castle photos, and unforgettable moments. The train wrap is expected to run throughout the anniversary celebration, so whether you’re visiting the park or just catching a glimpse from a platform, it’s a small way to join in the festivities.

So if you’re heading to Disneyland, or maybe you’re just craving a magical ride with beautiful ocean views, you might want to grab a seat aboard the Pacific Surfliner. It’s not every day that the train to Anaheim comes wrapped in Disney magic.
