Hi-
I am flying into LAX next Friday morning, arriving at 5:00 a.m. Normally I fly into SNA, but the fare for that route was over $100 per person. I have never taken a shuttle from LAX to DL before, the only previous time having rented a car.
I've booked a round trip shared ride Supershuttle for our trip, but became concerned when I talked to a coworker, who just returned from DL yesterday. He arrived midweek at around 2:30 p.m. Got in the Supershuttle van, which after they got in, had only the front passenger seat available. The van proceeded to make 2 more loops through the airport, looking to fill the one remaining seat. After that seat was filled, stops were made on the way to DL and they didn't arrive at their hotel until 6:45 - over 4 hours later.
I get that the shared ride shuttle is just that - other stops may be made before yours. I guess what I'm trying to figure out is whether my coworker's experience is somewhat normal - and whether it may take that long when I arrive at 5:00 a.m. next week. I was hoping to be entering the parks near opening time that day.
If the shared ride shuttle really normally takes that long, I may look into a car service, though with just 2 people it will pretty much double the cost.
Thanks for any advice you may be able to provide.
