LAX Pickup: So you think picking up at LAX is a breeze? 😂 Think again! You’ll need a permit to even think about it—call 2 weeks in advance and pray to the travel gods that they actually pick up. Good luck! You’ll need it. 🙏
Beverly Hills Best Routes" (Streets You Can Roll Down in Your Tour Bus):
🚫 "Tour Bus No-Go Zones" (Roads You’ve Got to Skip): Don't go north of the gardens
It’s important to know where you’re welcome and where you’re not in Beverly Hills! With these roads in mind, you can keep that tour bus moving smoothly and safely.
Disneyland Toy Story Parking Lot: Mickey says hi! But first, you’ll drop your passengers here. Don’t forget to stay in the right-hand lane, or you'll end up driving all the way to Neverland! Stop at the toll booth to pay (because apparently, nothing’s free in the happiest place on earth). Once you’ve done your duty, your passengers will hop on a shuttle to the park. Just don’t try to sneak into the shuttle—Mickey’s got eyes everywhere. 🐭🚧
Universal Studios: Oh, you noticed that special lane on the right? Ignore the voices in your head telling you to avoid it. Stay in it like your life depends on it—because in LA traffic, it just might. Universal Studios knows how to keep things dramatic, even in the parking lot. 🎥🚗
Warner Brothers: After you drop your passengers like the superstar you are in the loading zone, it’s time to play the ultimate LA game: finding parking. But don’t worry, anywhere on Riverside Dr. or Olive Ave with a 2-3 hour parking sign is fair game. Just make sure you set a timer so you don’t end up starring in a real-life drama called The Parking Ticket Chronicles. 🎬🅿️
For San Diego Zoo parking just go all the way to the north east corner of lot and find a spot.
Yosemite Shenanigans – Plan Ahead or Get Ready for Surprises!
🚨
Reservations Required!
Yep, if you're coming on weekends or holidays, get that reservation sorted! Don’t get caught out thinking you’ll just waltz into the Mariposa Grove Shuttle — nope, you need a reservation for that too!
🌟
Tunnel Drama!
The moment you pass through the tunnel, you’ll need to whip an immediate right turn (like, first right, no time to think!). But when you're leaving Tunnel View? Don't even think about turning right – they mean business. No right turn for you!
🚗
Navigating Oakhurst to Yosemite
: Take Highway 41 – nice and easy! But if you're headed in or out the Mariposa way, Highway 140 is your best friend. Careful, though – Mariposa's got not one, but TWO one-way bridges, so keep your wits about you!
🚨
Squeeze Alert
: If you're coming in via Mariposa, you'll be treated to a tight squeeze between giant rocks – not much room, so practice your precision driving!
🚧
The 120 & 49 Trap:
Ignore anyone telling you to take 120 or 49 unless you're in the mood for some serious tight maneuvers. Stick to 140 – trust me, you’ll thank yourself later!
