I need to know because we are getting picked up & dropped off around Rainforest Cafe — and it says you can do it at Downtown Disney.
Thank you. 
Yes, Downtown Disney is connected to Disneyland. It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the dropoff by Rainforest Cafe/ESPN Zone to get to the entrance to Disneyland. However, did you know there is a really cool place to get dropped off/picked up? It’s on Harbor Blvd, just south of the Disneyland main walking entrance. It’s a 15-minute parking lot, for pickup and dropoff. A bit hard to see the first time, but a very short walk (about 2 minutes) to the front entrance.

It is a ahort walk from the Rainforest Cafe to the park security gates to enter the Esplanade where the ticket booths are located.

yes, they are connected by a 5-10 minute walk that’ll take you past the Downtown Disney shopping areas and end up in the area outside Disnleyand and California Adventure where the ticket booths are.
