Trip to Disneyland, worth it for 1 day?

[Stevegriswold]

Hi,

I have a flight to LAX from Atlanta on Thursday Jan 3rd. I catch an international flight out of LAX at 11:15 PM. So I could take an early flight to LAX from Atlanta on Thursday and spend most of the day at Disneyland.

I would need to be back at the airport at least two hour before my flight plus add time to get a shuttle back to the airport.

1. What transportation shoud I use from LAX to Disneyland and back.
2. What time should I get transportation back to LAX to be at the airport no later than 9:00 PM
3. What time is Disneyland open to/from on Tuesday Jan 3rd
4. Would you go to Disneyland or CA adventure if you had never been to either?

Thanks,
Steve

Haha! I asked this same question a couple of weeks ago. DH and I have an extra day in LA after a cruise, so we're going to DL. We only have one day and as of now it looks like it's going to rain.

Anyway, we have friends dropping us off at DL. But we plan on taking www.supershuttle.com from our hotel to LAX the next day. This came highly recommended on cruise critic. I think it's $16-17pp, one way.

Here's a link to the calander with the hours listed. http://disneyland.disney.go.com/dis...onthly?name=CalendarMonthlyPage&date=20080128

I can't speak of which park to go to. I haven't been to either yet. We plan on going to both.

Any chance or opportunity to go to Disneyland?! Take it!

You may wish to try the Grayline - they pick up at the airport every 1/2 hour and drop off and pick up at hotels, but you have to make a reservation. Go to http://www.grayline.com/Grayline/destinations/us/anaheim.go, to check rates.

If it was me, I would go to DCAP to see Soarin' and the Muppet show, and then scoot over to DL for the rest of the day!

Enjoy!

do it.

Cab, super shuttle, disneyland express (a gray line bus) are the options I can think of to get to and from LAX.

It's just you, I take it?

Since you won't be there ALL day, open to close, I, even though I LOVE DCA, would suggest just sticking to Disneyland itself. Unless there's a ride or two that you are really interested in at DCA, like Tower of Terror...then that might make the extra $ and time to "hop" over there worth it. But otherwise, just immerse yourself in DL and have fun.

Yeah,

I went to Downtown Disney and walked around and had dinner at the Rainforest Cafe there. We had just come back from a cruise and has some time before our flight. But that's as close as I have made it to DisneyLand or Cal. Adventure. I have been to Walt Disney World countless times since I worked there for about five years. So I would really like to see Disneyland.

Only problem is I think my wife would kill me if I go without her. But I could pull this off if I move my arrival flight around, then just have to deal with my wife being mad at me.

I would do it, and just stick to DL.
Use FP for sure to do our SM, and Indy, two rides where DL kicks WDW hinny.
I beleive that both HM and IASW will have their holiday overlays until the 6th ? If so DO NOT miss either of those.And, of course DL Pirates ride rocks.
We have the original Tiki birds, and Mr. Toad, so those are usually high on people's lists too.

I think you could get this done in the time allotted.
