disney2 ... we are also going to try and get to In-n-Out while staying at the Desert Inn .... without a car. Someone had given me these instructions regarding the bus that leaves from near the hotel, and stops by/at In-n-Out (which is near the corner of Harbor and Orangethorpe). The Desert Inn is on Harbor Blvd.
"And while not an Outlet Mall, there is another place I like to go discount shopping, and that is at the corner of Harbor and Orangethorpe in Fullerton, about 3 miles north of
Disneyland up Harbor Blvd. This area has a lot of discount stores, including a Disney Parks Outlet Store (Character Warehouse), a new Sketchers Outlet, Dollar Stores and more. Plus a Super
Walmart, a Target, a Sprouts Farmer Market (Healthy Groceries) and much more. Easy drive, or you can take the Public bus.
OCTA Route 43 goes up and down Harbor Blvd about every 15 minutes, and the trip is just about 20 minutes in length. Some folks take the bus up ($1.50 per adult each way), and then opt for a taxi on the way back, since they bought so much stuff. (About $15 plus tip, depending on your Hotel/Motel)"
