Are there any shuttles that run to Disney hotels from Santa Ana airport or Long Beach airport? Or is a cab the best way to go?

Options from SNA:

Shuttle, like Super Shuttle or Primetime Shuttle... here's a coupon code for Super Shuttle: http://www.retailmenot.com/view/supershuttle.com This is probably least expensive.

Disneyland Express, operated by Grayline: http://graylineanaheim.com/docs/GL Anaheim DRE Brochure 2008.pdf

Or a cab, which *should* cost the flat rate of $40 to the DL area hotels. The return trip, they run the meter and it's more, like $50-65.

From LGB, it's shuttle or cab; the DL express doesn't run here. The cab is still supposed to be the flat rate, but I'd call the airport and double check on that-- somebody recently reported that they weren't given the flat fee option. Shuttle costs more from LGB... not sure why.

However, LGB is usually the least expensive airport to fly into, often by $100 or more over SNA.

HTH!

So after pricing everything out - I'm at about $100 round trip no matter what. That seems really high for a 12 mile trip. We had planned on getting rid of the car for the 4 days we are at the resort, but maybe it would be better to just park it and keep it.

Yup, that's the Disneyland transportation blues. Weird, isn't it, when every other hotel airport shuttle is free... but not for DL.

Probably the best you can do is Super Shuttle with the discount, for 5 of you. That comes out to $35, plus tip... so probably $80 total, round trip.

Depends on where you are staying... if they have free parking, like HoJo, it's all good. If not, like most of the other Harbor Hotels and the DL hotels, then you might still want to get rid of the car.
