Then spend the next day catching up on sleep, unpacking, laundry, etc.

Originally Posted By SafariRob It definately is cheaper to fly into LAX. Unless money is a factor, I would strongly consider flying into Orange County/John Wayne Airport (SNA) instead of LAX. Southwest Airlines is probably among the cheapest. They only schedule flights about 3-4 months in advance. The trick is to reserve your flight early. If you reserve your flight right after they release new dates, you can grab a "promotional fare". You could probably get a flight from Orlando to Orange County for less than $400 round trip. If you fly into Burbank (BUR) you can get a ticket for even less ($350 range). There is also Ontario Airport (ONT) and you can fly there for under $300 round trip. Keep in mind that these flights have at least one stop. I am not sure about shuttle service to Disneyland from these airports. I always rent a car.
