What shuttle from the LAX airport....

[lildreamer101]

should I take? There is just two of us going. My mother and I are going in the next few weeks. So excited!

I read the bad reviews for the Disneyland express. Is this shuttle line that bad?

Which shuttle service do you recommend and what is the average price for two people for return trip?

This won't help with the prices, but here is a very recent thread about shuttle recommendations -- http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=3363370

I always use SuperShuttle since everything is hassle free, and I never ran into any problems.

I recently used SuperShuttle shared shuttle service and it was fine, although it took nearly 45 minutes to get out of LAX given all of the pick-ups in the airport. If time is an issue, I would consider spending the extra money to go with ExecuCar (or something similar).

I just booked Super Shuttle after a horrid experience with the Disneyland Express last year. They were late picking us up, made us change buses at some seedy looking bus depot a few miles from DLR (and pointedly said multiple times that resort guests do not have to do such a thing) and made us late for our airport arrival at SNA. I complained and was told that I was wrong and the driver had us there early. OK then. Never again.

I guess we all have different experiences for we used Disneyland Express three times and had no problem at all...

For two people a smaller shared shuttle might be more economical. We took Lansky's when we went, but we were a large group so it might still be more pricey for you guys. But we had a GREAT experience. It was $85 one way and $95 the other. My husband took Karmel one way from LAX when he arrived for $26 and had a great experience. He ended up being the only one on the shuttle and for that price it was a fantastic deal...

We've had a great experience with Super Shuttle from SNA last year and LAX this year. Since it was just 2 of us, it was hard to justify a limo price. I was very happy with the price and service.

I heard that Disneyland Express was only doing pickups every half hour and didn't want to stand around waiting to catch the next one.

We flew back out of SNA both times and got a flat rate taxi voucher from Guest Services at PPH. I think it was for $35. I loved knowing we wouldn't be waiting around for a shuttle when we were up against our flight time.

More if a question than answer, can someone tell me the difference between Disneyland Express and Disneyland Resort Express? I know the Disneyland Resort Express is the one affiliated with Disneyland, just wondering if the differences between reviews is the difference between the companies. Does anyone have anything positive to say about Disneyland Express (Anaheim Tours)

Today used super shuttle from LAX to Disney. Pre booked. Pre paid $110. Nine of us. Waited 5 minutes. Totally worth it. Will use them again. Tipped $20.

Similar question...we will be arriving December 7 after flying all night from Maui. Is there a reputable private car service? We will be getting in at like 500 am on a Monday. After luggage pick up, I am not sure if we will have traffic issues as well. TIA!

Jumping in here to follow along too.

I am leaning to a private car/limo vs. any combined passenger shuttle.

Mostly, it's because we'll have been traveling for 6-7 hours and I want to get to our destination, not wait, not pick up 10 others, etc. It's worth the $100/$200 rt, approx costs to get that. Plus, that is still cheaper than a rental car with parking.

I've learned (I think) Lanskey's is one that meets you at the baggage claim and helps you. Is that correct? Are there others that do this?

Unless I'm wrong, Disneyland Express is the short for Disneyland Resort Express. It is operated by Gray Line. As said before, we used it every time we went to Disneyland and had no problems at all. Maybe a bit of a wait before the bus shows up, but always a great ride!

Yes, Lansky meets you at the baggage claim. I've used them a few times and it's been great, no issues at all. I've got them booked for my upcoming February trip.

Lansky's price is usually $170-180 US return (for multiple passengers, the rate it per vehicle)

It gets confusing because when you're actually at the airport there are other shuttles that say they are a "Disneyland Express" But you're correct that typically when people are referring to the Disneyland Express they mean the one operated by Gray Line, in the big tour type bus.

I've used the Disneyland Resort Express from the airport (operated by Grayline) numerous times without issue. The worst part of the experience (at least for me) was always the waiting but like yourself the ride was always fine.

Price is $48 for an adult round trip. (sometimes you can find discount coupons)
