Sept 16 2012 - WONDERing who's on the Calif Coastal with me?!

[sunshine1259]

We are doing DLR after the cruise. I'm trying to figure out ground transfers and am having trouble finding something affordable from port to Anaheim hotel.

My plan is to do Super Shuttle from LAX to Long Beach hotel, taxi from hotel to port, ? from port to Anaheim hotel, and Super Shuttle from hotel to LAX.

Super Shuttle is quoting me $150-185 for an executive car/SUV. What's everybody else doing, and does anyone have any other suggestions?

You know, I never thought about it, but we can make a quick stop at Disneyland on our way home. We are probably going to be off the ship by 8:00, so we should be able to spend a few hours there. I will have to check with my husband.

From whatother Disers have told me to get the shared van for the port to a hotel you still click airport and then scroll down to los angelos harbour.

We are doing DCL transfer back to LAX and then riding the Disneyland Express (we bought it from Get away today) to our hotel. I did an extensive amount of research and that was by far the cheapest. The Disneyland Express is only $12/per person from LAX to your Anaheim hotel. It may not be the best deal for you but it was for 2 people.

Thanks - I will have to look into that, or perhaps SS back to LAX and then SS again to the hotel near DLR. I did find a $5 coupon for Disneyland Resort Express (one way or roundtrip). Expires 12/31/12. http://anaheimoc.org/content/disney...rt-transportation-aboard-disneyland-resort-ex

If I may ask, what did your DCL transfer cost? How do you add DCL ground transportation to the cruise?

Mine was $30/per person/per way. Still cheaper than Super Shuttle for 2. I added them through my TA but you can add them to your reservation online or just call DCL.

The main thing I'm finding with SS is the fact that for a family, it's a great deal. For just a couple, they charge more because if they cant fill their van with another family also they don't make as much money just taking 2 people. So they charge you more to ensure a profit.

I appreciate the tip - just tried it and it's significantly less than the cost of the executive transfer (the only option SS gave me when I entered my info as point-to-point rather than airport).

I'll be at DLR on Aug 30 for the Disneyland Half Marathon anyone esle doing this race?

Super Shuttle is not a good deal for a family, best deal for a family is renting a car. Super shuttle is the best deal for two. You have to book a shared van, not an excutive van. I have used them before and they worked great.

Yea I tried point to point first two

That's great Susan, I'll be doing the ToT 10-miler as well. In fact by the end of this year I would have completed all of the runDisney's half marathons and 5Ks including a 5K at Castaway Cay.

Oh, could you please pick up a map of DCA for me? I forgot to grab one when we were there a few weeks ago. I wanted to check out what it looks like not that Radiator Springs is there.

Hope you all have a blast.
