Originally Posted By dzy76 I dito taking the cab. I've taken shuttle and went the long way around I swear. Had to stop at peoples houses and pick others up, etc. Never again. It actually worked out cheaper to take the cab. In about 20 minutes your at your hotel checking in.
Originally Posted By officerminnie Every time I've been on the shuttle (and it's only been 3 times - other times we've had a larger group and took a cab or our entire group filled up the shuttle), it is taking folks only to DL, so I guess I have lucked out. Hopefully my luck will not have run out this trip!

Originally Posted By retlawfan Book SuperShuttle with the Expedia discount, and the trip is just $8 each way. You cannot beat that. The code is UYR59. Currently an ad I found notes it is $3 off an ONLINE reservation, which would make it $7 each way. I used it and think I got $8. Either way, it's a deal. Good Luck.
Originally Posted By Hound I've used Supersuttle at least a dozen time (RT) and only once had a problem with going to an out of the way address and that was three years ago. Using the AAA discount and booking online I get $8 each way. Using a cab at $40 each way plus tip seems pretty extravagant.

Originally Posted By Hound >>But if you have 3 or more people its cheaper almost to take the cab and it goes directly to the hotel.<< 3 X $8 = $24 $40 / 3 = $13.33 $8 each or $13.33 each one way, or $16 vs. $26.66 round trip I wouldn't call $10.66 more almost cheaper.
Originally Posted By ctp09 Thanks for all the comments, folks! We called Green Van and they're asking $8 per person, per direction {only 2 of us}. They only take 6-8 people per van {so they say online}, AND a handful of family reviews on Trip Adviser said they were more polite, professional and prompt than Super Shuttle. I trust reviews by moms; I'm not one but I know that moms are particular when traveling with their kidlets. ;-) Might go for the cab ride also so thanks for suggesting all of these options! Six days until we leave--woohoo!
Originally Posted By officerminnie Just last week, I canceled my Super Shuttle res. and booked the Disneyland Express. It ended up costing only a few dollars more each way (SS/Expedia would only let me use the discount code for one of us) and I didn't need to bring a booster seat for DGD if we rode the bus, which was much more convenient for me as I was traveling alone with her. The DL Express only had 5 other people on it going both ways, so it was a quick and comfortable trip for us.
