Originally Posted By iheartmickey we live in Seattle and travel to DL at least 1-2 per year. The easiest and closest airport to fly in and out of is Orange county (SNA - John Wayne.) From there you walk out of baggage claim and out to the trasportation area. There are taxis, supershuttle and the resort area express. We have always done supershuttle or the resort area express. Supershuttle is ok but does go to more hotels in the area and seems to end at the resort last. The Disneland resort express will head to the resort first and then I think a few other hotels. Have fun with your trip! We leave TOMORROW for ours ... will be our first time to see Halloween decor at the park...can't wait!!!
Originally Posted By dzy76 I always use John Wayne. It is so close and so easy to get through. It costs about $35-40/one way by taxi to the Disneyland area. The Disneyland bus also runs from there.
Originally Posted By godalejunior We have gone three times in the last 8 months and have flown to LAX from PDX and taken the DL express. No problems, quick flight, no crowds. Not sure why people make a fuss about the LAX (besides it being a longer trip to DL). It has been smooth for us.

The one drawback, it doesn't have many flights a day, but it is the main airport for JetBlue in the area. The Disneyland Resort Express Bus only services John Wayne and LAX. A taxi from either Long Beach or John Wayne is around $40 plus tip one way.

Originally Posted By Darkbeer The real only choice from Burbank and Ontario is a Rental Car, taxi's would be over $100, maybe even $150 in heavy traffic, which is common the freeways between the airports and the DLR. There is the Metrolink train option from Burbank, but that has to be timed just right (basically runs during Commuter periods only). So for most people, not a good option. I am a fan of getting a rental car from all airports, this allows you to have a lot more freedom to shop, dine off site and visit things like the beach, other areas and other Theme Parks. But if you don't want one, IMHO a taxi is the best from John Wayne and Long Beach, and the Disneyland Express Airport Bus from LAX, as the taxi is around $100 to the DLR one way plus tip.
