Just an FYI for Americans offering transport advice. Many internationals do not have data on their phones when we visit California / USA. While using Uber and Lyft may be convenient to you, its not a realistic option for many internationals. For 10 years I had my phone on Airplane Mode, with Data Roaming turned off and relied on free Wifi. The only way for me to get data was to buy an American SIM card. Just bare this in mind when you offer advice to international people travelling to Disneyland California for the first time
Yep that’s true! And definitely something to keep in mind!
But if you don’t wanna do a smartphone detox some mobile data is very handy while touring in a foreign city...
Of course you can do very well without any data if you plan a little ahead but on my last trip I found it really useful to be able to check some websites (for restaurants hours or menus) on the go or check a bus schedule...
Also American SIM cards with data plans aren’t that expensive anymore...(at least they are cheaper than I thought they would be) for example: I found one with 4gb data (this year it’s even 5gb) for about 18€ on Amazon.de I guess something similar should be available on
Amazon.uk...
And to OP‘s topic....
Getting from LAX (I assume you’ll arrive there) to DL shouldn’t be a problem. There are lots of different options to choose from (uber/lyft, shared shuttles, the Disney resort express...there are different Threads covering that topic)
In Anaheim you can use the ART which is an local bus for example to get to the closest mall (outlets of orange)...
If you wanna do sightseeing in LA I would also suggest staying in LA for that because of all the traffic on the way to and from DL...
I think badpinktink already gave you quite some useful information... I also really like the idea of using the metro in LA and use the train to travel from LA to Anaheim. (Because I don’t really plan on renting a car again in LA anytime soon) I might actually do this on our next trip if I decide to do some Sightseeing in LA...
