Transportation from John Wayne Airport (SNA) to Disneyland

[redleader74]

We are flying down to Disneyland next month on SWA. Our baby will be nearly 10 months old by then. We will not be renting a car and won’t be bringing a car seat so I’m looking into transportation from SNA to the Anaheim/Disneyland area tha either doesn’t require a car seat or where one can be provided (either free or for a charge) and so far I’ve come up with two, based on web and TripAdvisor search. One is the Disneyland Resort Express (DRE). They use large 50-seat motor coaches and so car seats aren’t required. However, their reviews are hit and miss with the bad reviews calling out their unreliable schedule and customer service. The other is a small operator called Mickey’s Space Ship Shuttle The use regular 12-pax vans and can include car seats for free. Their reviews were quite favorable. I wanted to see if anyone else had other suggestions or had experience with these two operators.

The stroller we’re using is an Uppababy Cruz stroller. Our baby is big enough now that she can use the toddler seat attachment and not the car seat and we figured this will be far more comfortable for her at the park than being snug in the car seat attachment (especially given the warm temperatures). We don’t want to also bring a the car seat attachment which is why I’m looking into transport where a carseat is available or not required. Thanks!

Welcome to the DIS. I might try the Disneyland forum; I think most people who use this one are headed to WDW.

We used SuperShuttle from LAX that had very mixed reviews like Disneyland Express, but we had no issue. When researching for myself, the biggest issue with Disneyland Express and SuperShuttle seems to be that each will make multiple stops. So while the commute from SNA to your resort might not be long, you could be on the bus for a while if your stop is among the last. I can't speak to the other service, but would have no qualms booking DL Express based on what I read when I was deciding.

With SuperShuttle you can pick a shuttle that goes directly to your destination and does not make any stop. Usually it is double the amount as the ride that makes mulitiple stops. So you are looking at $53 pp for a none stop round trip ride from SNA to Disneyland
