Shuttle from Santa Ana/Orange Airport to Disneyland

[carebee21]

Which shuttle company do you use getting from the airport to your hotel in the Disneyland area? I'm looking for something reliable and preferrably the cheapest Thanks!

I like SuperShuttle. I reserve online and prepay so (a) I can take advantage of the coupon codes and (b) so it's all taken care of before I leave.

I like code UYR59. It gives you $3 off per person each way, making the $10 fare only $7 per person. However, to get it per person (which it is supposed to be), you have to make a separate reservation for each individual. That's easy, because the info is saved after the first one and you just have to hit the back button and replace the name with the next party member until you've got everyone reserved. I also pay the tip at the same time.

If the above sounds like too much trouble, you can use other coupon codes that give you $2 off per person each way and it will do that for your whole party at once. For 3 of you, it will only cost $6 more to do that. This site lists SS codes: http://www.retailmenot.com/view/supershuttle.com

As a comparison, a taxi will run about $45 each way plus tip. SS will cost $21-30 depending on whether or not you use a coupon code and which one you use. You might decide a taxi is the easiest way to go! The advantage is you don't have to reserve ahead and you don't have to share with other passengers. I'm too cheap to do it unless my party has 5 or more people.

Ditto what DizMe said. I always use Super Shuttle also and call ahead to make my reservations. Just make sure you bring that confirmation# with you so they'll know you pre-paid. I forgot mine last time and they had to call to verify it. Seems like it would all be in their handy dandy little computer that they carry.

Does seem like it should be! Unfortunately, sometimes that manage to misspell a name SO wrong they refuse to believe you have a reservation and try to leave because they saw you walk by some kids, and thought the kids were yours, and they only have one person scheduled to be picked up at that hotel...

Thankfully, I pulled out the page with the reservation number on it, convinced her that I had NOT brought my kid with me, nor did I have multiple kids, that I was just one person...and I got on board.

I've had basically OK experiences with SS...but if I have one more similar to that, I'm giving up on them (I'll give them a pass on the fact that they picked me up 3 hours before the flight so that they could then take an hour riding back and forth on Harbor and Katella picking everyone else in the universe up...because the people they picked up were ridiculously pleasant).


I've also used Grayline's Disneyland Express, but I've never used it to/from SNA, only LAX, so I'm not 100% sure what it's like on that run. With LAX it was fine once we were on the bus. You just do want to find the PDF brochure on their site and read it thoroughly, so you know the timing of things. We managed to land during the "once an hour" pickup time, and just missed the last bus by 5 minutes...55 minutes standing outside with a tired husband and 5 year old isn't my idea of fun. And we didn't even see any celebrities or paparazzi...what's the point of being at LAX if you don't see any of them?

I also use Super Shuttle, if you have an Entertainment book there is a code there too. I really like Super Shuttle because they run so often. Never have to wait long at all. I do always book online (with a code) and take my confirmation and have not ever had a problem.

I looked into the shuttle and it was cheaper for us to rent a car than go by shuttle. But we were only going to be there for 2 days. I think the cheapest rate I got was for $10 pp and then don't forget tip.

Good luck!!!
