Hi, we are arriving on a late flight the night before and staying at an airport hotel. I'm trying to work out what time to book the town car the following morning to get us to Disneyland around 9.30am? I currently have the car booked for 8.30am pick up. It will be a Friday morning, so not sure on traffic conditions going in that direction.

It's not a drama if it's we get there at 10, but I'm just trying to get there early enough to check in an hopefully get a better room allocation.

Thanks.
 
You probably won't get there before 10am with an 8:30 pickup-if it's a weekday. Any time you travel between 7:30am and 9:30am on a weekday, give your LAX-Disneyland travel time 1.5hrs to be safe. Though, 2 hrs could happen in extreme circumstances and 1hr is possible. Weekends-an hour is good safe.

May I ask how much you are paying for a town car?
 
I've been picked up between 830-900am at LAX and taken directly to Disneyland hotels and the trip takes 45 min to an hour. The freeway going towards LAX has always been backed up, but from lax to disney has always been smooth, sorta busy traffic but nothing backed up, at least until the off ramp for Disneyland. I use Sunny's Transportation and the drivers are great, cars are clean, and they don't charge extra for car seats/boosters which are also very clean.

I would figure an hour travel time plus a 15-20 minute buffer for loading and unloading the car and accounting for how far from the freeway your hotel might be. Can you do an 8am pickup for a 9:30 arrival?

I'm using DK Livery, now known as Lansky. Charge $90 including gratuity and 20minute grocery stop.

Thanks for all the replies, they've been most helpful. have moved the pick up time to 8am

This. I always arrive in the morning (during rush hour) on a Thursday or Friday, and it's never taken more than an hour to get to DLR. Almost always 45 minutes. Morning rush traffic is coming into L.A. County, not heading towards Anaheim.
