The mission's own Tour Group Instructions note that bus parking is not permitted on Ortega Highway or in front of the merchants on Camino Capistrano, so coordinate your driver's parking and drop-off directly with the mission when you book your school tour.

Book as early as possible — ideally 6–8 weeks out for spring field trips. March through June is the busiest period for school group transportation across Orange County, and buses fill up fast during that stretch. For in-city destinations like the Bowers Museum or Discovery Cube, 3–4 weeks is workable outside of peak season, but earlier is always better.
The sooner you compare and book through Santaanacharterbuscompany.com, the more vehicle options and better pricing you'll find!
It depends on your headcount and destination!

For larger groups or longer trips like the San Diego Zoo (~85 miles) or the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library (~60 miles), a 56-passenger charter bus with an onboard restroom and undercarriage luggage bays is the better call.
Compare both options side by side through Santaanacharterbuscompany.com in seconds!
