Race Info
Anaheim favors driving, but viable options ensure smooth access to the Convention Center. Opt for nearby lodging to cut travel time, as local highways see typical Southern California traffic jams. Rideshares offer flexibility for arrivals and round trips, while limited but affordable public transit links airports and key spots.
