the lack of search function is killing me lol. Posted in DL thread by mistake yesterday, thought I'd try here.
We have been to DL & USH four times (and love it!) but admittedly unfamiliar with the rest of the area. DH & I are working on planning a multi-stop 'Halloween' trip and want to be realistic about scheduling.
Refuse to drive in the area so we need to rely on shuttles, town car or maybe Uber (but haven't used yet), would like to keep costs contained.
Initial transportation plans are below, please feel free to offer suggestions as to getting around and what time would be the best to arrive at the parks for the haunts
*Fly into Burbank on a Friday = grab taxi or airport shuttle approximately at noon to Universal Hilton for HHN?
Hopefully, BUR is much smaller than LAX and hopefully less traffic. Would allowing an hour after arrival be realistic to reach the hotel? I would hate to be stuck on the highway watching the meter tick as in the traffic we always pass on shuttles/buses on U/DL route
*Transfer to Knotts Berry Farm Hotel on Saturday for the Scare Farm (hotel package if available) = book a van/town car to control the costs?
If I want to be at the hotel in Buena Park by 3 pm what time should I arrange pickup at hotel? Rate offers a late checkout option but could leave earlier. Was thinking a 12:30 pm pickup but no idea of the traffic patterns.
*Sunday onto DL for remainder of stay in CA = taxi or shuttle
didn't seem to be that far apart when driving past. Again, don't want to get stuck in a cab with meter running, not sure if I can grab a shuttle between Knotts & DL.
*Wednesday to SNA for 7 am flight = shuttle or taxi?
What time should we leave hotel? we've always left mid-day on a weekend in the past and left a good 3 hours pre flight.
