For those Adventurers unfamiliar with
ABD policy, ABD will provide arrival transfers from LAX only.
For your departure, ABD will provide transfers to LAX or SNA (Orange County / John Wayne Airport).
Incoming flights should arrive prior to 1:00pm on the day the Adventure begins. This allows time to get to the hotel, check in and get to the Welcome Dinner. If you arrive earlier and have booked your pre-night with ABD, your arrival time doesnt matter.
Departure flights on the last day of the Adventure can be at any time. ABD states that the last shuttle to
LAX leaves at 4:00pm. Your shuttle will be scheduled approximately 3 hours prior to your flight out of LAX.
ABD provides transfers to guests under an ABD reservation only. Should you decide to arrive early or stay later and book your extra nights through ABD...transfers are included. If you book pre or post nights on your own (this includes booking your own Disney hotel and DVC), transfers are not included.
With every one of these trips I get questions about arriving in Los Angeles early and renting a car.
Should you decide to do this, ABD will still provide transfers from LAX on the day the Adventure begins. You would have to meet the transfers at a certain place and time at the airport. If this is a possible option, I need to know as I need to make certain ABD schedules that transportation. If no one is scheduled, that transfer will not be there.
Also, if you live close enough to drive or have a rental car that you wish to keep for after the Adventure, you can park at the Grand Californian (free of charge) and ABD will provide transfers on the day the Adventure begins. Again, there are specifics with this and it needs to be scheduled in advance
With the discussion of airfare, airports, transfers, transfer companies etc....I though this might get confusing. I hope this helps
