The Airport Shuttle Bus 992 takes you to the Santa-Fe Depot: pay the driver $2.25, (no change given). At the Santa-Fe Depot buy a $2.50 Trolley ticket at one of the ticket auto-mats, (this takes a few minutes to complete for newcomers, machines give change).

Walk over the foot-bridge to the Town and Country property, continuing on and follow signs to the Reservation Desk. (There is also a ticket automat at Fashion Valley and all other stops. You need to have a valid ticket to use the system)
