When you arrive in California, and have collected all your luggage, etc; make your way up to Ground Transportation. From there it's really easy to catch the Disneyland Express Bus. I did that on my last trip to Disneyland, and it was really easy. You pay for the bus there. I believe it is $32 round trip. I did not have to wait very long for the bus to depart. Most Disneyland hotels, and Good Neighbor Hotels have regular pickups coming back. The driver can give you that information if you ask. Also take a brochure if they are available.

Good luck. There are also taxi cabs available at Ground Transportation, but that might cost you in the neighborhood of at least $30 one way.

Thanks for the info. Do I need to make a reservation to be able to take the bus to or from the airport? I am hoping to keep the cost of transport down.

I just used Super Shuttle on Friday to get to John Wayne from my hotel, and I was by myself as well. I only needed transport to the airport this time. The regular fee for 1 way is $10, but if you use the code UYR59 when you book online that brings it down to $7. When you book online you can also pay the tip at that time. I find this to be a great option. If you go this route, be sure to enter your hotel name INSTEAD of the zip code of the hotel. It works out to be cheaper.

ETA: This is for a 7 person shared van ride, by the way.

Thanks Deejdigsdis. I decided to go with Super Shuttle and got the discount.

Thanks everyone for you help!

SS is a really good choice from/to that airport.

Going home, be sure to go with THEIR suggestion of how far out from your flight you need to catch the shuttle! They schedule themselves tightly, and if you decide to cut it shorter than they tell you to, you might end up missing your flight.

thanks - I have a 3:40-3:55 pick up for the 6:15 flight. I should be ok.

That's funny, because I never use their suggested time . I always say my flight is ~45 minutes later than it really is so I don't have to sit at the airport for 2 hours. Even in the worst traffic I've never had a problem as SNA is so close to DLR, but then again I only bring carry-on and I always check in and print my boarding pass at the hotel so I don't need to do much once I get there except go through security.

Diz, I've been in a SS van where I was the first on board, and then they spent over an hour going up and down Harbor and Katella, picking up other scheduled riders. Last stop on the way out was at my hotel again, and only then we got on our way. If I had fudged the times I would have been a serious stressball. I will say that I was going to LAX, so there was much more potential for trouble along the way, but I *hate* stress while traveling, and I was happy to be on that van with *plenty* of time (though if I'd known they were going to be stopping at hojo again I might have preferred to get on then).

Well, I may have to rethink my strategy!!
