Drive from LAX- how long?

[teacups]

We need to take a direct flight and the only one from BOI is to LAX. I supposed we'll shuttle from there. The flight is EARLY, gets in around 7:30 am. Any guess on what time we might actually pull up to our hotel? The other choice woild be a really late one, and it gets in around 11:30 PM and Im not sure thats the best since I'll be a grumpy you-know-what for the next three days after that with two kids...

7:30AM, probably like 1hr-2hr.
11:30PM, judging by if there is any accidents(usually at nights the accidents are more severe and i seen it where all lanes are closed), probably 45min-1hr.

From LAX to the Disneyland resort area, it's 34.5 miles. If you fly in at 7:30am, you'll be hitting rush hour traffic, so I would say it could take anywhere from 45 minutes (if rush hour is flowing smoothly with no accidents) and up to 1.5 hours (if rush hour is heavy and congested due to an accident or a broken down car).

That's not too bad really. You could be checking into your hotel anytime between 9 and 10 in the morning, so basically you'd get in a whole day at the parks. I'd rather take my chances with rush hour traffic and get at least some fun in for the day, instead of waiting and flying in at 11:30pm (which would make everyone tired and grumpy for the following day at the parks).

I say go for the morning flight.
