We have a noon flight tomorrow back home and need some help on figuring out when to leave the Anabella. We have a rental car to return also. Do we leave really early I.e.6:30?

We had a 11:45 am flight yesterday and we left the Disneyland Hotel at 8:30 am. We did not have a rental car to return as we took a shuttle. By the time we checked our bags and went through security, we waited at the gate for about an hour before they started boarding the plane.

I would leave no later than 7:30. That gives you 90 minutes to get to LAX, since you'll be driving inbound during rush hour, an hour to return your car and be shuttled to your terminal, and two hours at the terminal before your flight. If you're checking luggage, I'd back it up another half hour and leave at 7.

If you're flying Southwest, which can have murderous luggage-checking lines, then, yes, I'd leave at 6:30.
 
I would do 9am or 7am if you're going to have breakfast near LAX. Anything in between and you'll get there at the same time you would leaving earlier. Check traffic throughout the morning, but with carpool lanes you should be ok.
 

... we left the Anabella at 8:30, ran into traffic on the 105 and got to Alamo by 10. Took the shuttle, went thru baggage Check and security and we're at the gate by 11. Plenty of time before boarding starts at 11:50.
