We just use the accessible taxi vans from the airport , from Santa Ana or Long Beach they are $45 flat rate and going back a little
More . . Hope your mum is ok

Disney can do better.

I agree this is totally unacceptable. But be aware these buses are not owned by Disney, they are run by CoachUSA. The name "Disneyland Resort Express" refers to transportation from LAX or SNA (John Wayne) airport to the Disneyland Resort area.

Passenger safety should be first especially for the handicapped and a public bus company, I did file a ada complaint with the justice dept,

California is very citizen-focused. You should find out who in the state regulates this transportation or company, and complain to them.

Depending on how close your next trip is, you may have problems if you're traveling to/from LAX on SuperShuttle. According to a recent post on the airport transportation megathread, SuperShuttle suspended service there due to insurance problems.

we always fly into john wayne so hopefully that will be ok

Taxis at SNA are right outside the doors of the terminal. You do not need to reserve ahead of time..... just walk out and there is a dispatcher right there and he/she will call for an accessible van.

Does anyone have experience with MidWilShuttle? Is it a shared ride or individual? There are just 2 of us going to/from LAX and the website says the price is $65.00.

I have not heard of them before and I'm willing to consider something other than Uber/Lyft.

we just used them in October. they were great! DL to LAX was a breeze

See the recent posts below for information.

We always take a taxi from SNA because nothing is faster, including Lyft or Uber. This is becasue the cabs are lined up and waiting for you . Cost is always between $34 and $44 regardless of baggage, number of people or size of cab (including vans). We have found the cost to be the same as Uber or within a few dollars. The cabs at the airport are always clean and drivers are professional.
The only down side I can think of is they wont have child seats.

What cab company do you use? California Yellow Cab advertises a flat $29 from SNA, which is what I’m hoping for.

So, for the first time, we are FLYING into the area (instead of driving). We are landing at SNA and our hotel (the BW Airport North, I believe) has a shuttle, so we will take that to the hotel and see if they happen to have our room ready so we can drop one of the backpacks. Then we are planning to Uber to DTD... we will use the DTD Starbucks WEST location or possibly the DTD Lego Store as the destination, per @theluckyrabbit .

Anyone see any flaws with this plan?

If, for some reason, neither of those addresses seems to work, you can always use the DLH or PPH address as a backup. There should be no problem being dropped off at either of those hotels and walking to the DLH bag check, then right into DTD.

FYI we found the Disneyland Express busses last week to/from SNA to be very jerky (bad brakes?) and quite motion sickness-inducing. Even with a dramamine our son was nearly sick by the time we got to SNA on the return trip. Next time we'll just take a cab or Uber/Lyft even if it costs a little extra. Son is 8 so no car seat needed in CA (required for 7 and under from what I saw).

Looking to use ExecuCar for our next trip -- does anyone know if the business express option is still curbside pickup? It doesn't say anything on the website like their other options and I don't want to have to take a shuttle to a pick up location.



We used Lansky's several times previously but they've increased their prices so much it no longer fits within our budget and I don't want to use the DL Express Bus.

Two weeks ago it cost us $40+tip from SNA to the Grand Californian. A little more than Uber/Lyft but we were minimizing walking due to recovery from surgery.

Thats only a littlemore than the disneyland express, how was traffic? do u think all the taxis would be the same. When I google it it says it would be about 57 dollars which is too much one way

 

[nicole88s]

Looking back in my Uber account on 10/26/18 it cost $26.48 from SNA to Courtyard Marriott Theme Park Entrance (so right by GC) at 1:18 pm.

It cost $31.63 from the hotel to Long Beach Airport at 5:29 pm

Time of day can affect pricing with Uber and Lyft. I would avoid morning and evening rush hour if possible.


Edited to add I just put in SNA to Grand Californian hotel in the Uber app and right now it would be $24.09 in an Uber X.

It was a Thursday at like 11:15 am, we had no traffic at all. To be honest, I am not sure how consistent that pricing would be, I am not a fan of taxis, and haven't taken one in years, but my husband was recovering from back surgery so we wanted to minimize walking as much as possible and taxis and closer than the Uber/Lyft area, which is the only reason I splurged. It was a bit painful to pay so much more than I usually have to.

I have Business Expressed booked for next Wednesday..I'm a bit nervous as most of the reviews online are quite negative...thinking of switching to something else...
