$76 roundtrip on Supershuttle-how's this price?UPDATE_Called back!

[Simba's Mom]

LAX to/from HoJo's Anaheim (on Harbour Blvd), 1 person. Frankly, I thought that was a lot more than I expected. But after reading here, now I wonder if maybe my expectations were off. How about a bus to the hotel and a cab back? Does this seem like a reasonable price for transportation? Any other ideas?

 

[AFMom]

Wow - that seems high to me! DH got to the Airport for $15 from DLH back in April. It was LAX, but we can't remember which Shuttle it was..... I would call HOJO's and ask what shuttles will pick up there and then call around - that seems VERY high to me!

 

[bclydia]

That's outrageous!!!!!!
I used supershuttle in December for a group of us going from LAX to the Hojo and it was $15 US per person each way. Something is definitely amiss there!

 

[Disneyland_emily]

Yeah- It should be 15 each way- have you played on the Super Shuttle site?

That sounds more like an "exclusive" trip. Should be $15 one-way...

 

[Simba's Mom]

Whew! Thanks everyone-my heart rate is normal now! After reading all these responses, I figured I'd call back. I just asked for verification of the price, I said, because it was so different from what I expected. At first she just read the quote off the computer screen for my reservations "$76. No, that can't be right!" Somewhere along the way someone must have punched the wrong button. When she told me it was really $30 and I said that was much better, at least she told me, "They never would have charged you that price once you got there." So I guess I'm OK now.

We used the Airport Bus (the one with the characters on the side of it) and it was $25 roundtrip for adults, kids were a different price, and infants were free.

While I do take 'shared ride vans' like SuperShuttle in other cities, I stopped taking the ones in LA years ago. You will probably get lucky and be on a shuttle with everyone going to DL, but I have been on shuttles which tootled around the neighbourhoods of the LA area for what seemed like forever (and often was!) before getting to the airport or Disneyland. 'We guarantee no more than 3 stops' can mean 3 stops far apart, or off several freeways. That could mean a lot of time sitting in bad traffic.

I now use the LAX Airport Bus (the one with the characters) The trip seems to take half the time, it's more comfortable (I've been in some SuperShuttles where frankly I felt that pieces were going to fall off onto the freeway) and it's relatively cheap.

You will probably hear good things about SuperShuttle too - everyone has their own experiences.

But I highly recommend the Airport Bus service - much better than you would expect!! And you can walk from the depot (first stop) to the HoJo's, so you will get to your hotel first!

Just as an FYI- The stop by the HOJO is no more- Its now based I believe near the DLH

What's this? Is this a stop for super shuttle? I didn't know, but I just assumed the shuttle picked you up at the hotel. Or does the airport bus go over to DLH? Help-this is all new to me-and I'll be traveling solo besides. I'm more than slightly nervous about traveling alone for my first trip to DL. I have visions of me wandering all over, lost, not knowing what to do.

I was talking about the Airport Bus depot, which used to be at DLH years ago, and moved to the area behind the Fairfield and across from the HoJo's. But it has been over a year (gasp!) since my last trip to DL, so it may have moved again.

Both Supershuttle and Airport Bus pick you up at your hotel. Didn't mean to scare you, Simba's Mom!!!

Don't be nervous about doing DL alone - I went for my first trip in 1994 as an adult after a business trip, and it started my adult obsession with the mouse....

Even with all the development, you'll be fine - I promise! But if you need a personal tour guide, I could be tempted....
