We are flying into John Wayne/Santa Ana-Orange County airport and not renting a car, are there any suggestions on the best way to get family of 4 from the airport to Disneyland hotel? cab, shuttle etc.?
A cab will run you $35-40 each way. There are plenty of cabs at the airport waiting.
Super shuttle will run you about $10 per person each way or $47 for a private van. www.supershuttle.com You can make reservations or they have vans waiting at the airport. If you go with the $10 per person rate you'll share with other people, which means you may have to drop people of at other locations. For the extra $7 I would book a private van.
Or there is the disney express /airport bus www.airportbus.com Its not my prefered mode of transport, but its affordable. Some people really like it. I think it takes to long and am willing to spend a bit more for quicker service.
