John Wayne

I need to ask about cheapest transportation from John Wayne Airport to the Disneyland area hotels.?

We are a family of 6 flying into John Wayne and staying at a hotel within walking distance from Disneyland. We don't want to rent a car. Whats the cheapest way to get from the airport to the hotel? (This is our first time flying into LA area. We usually drive, but the TAXES on renting a car in California are now a JOKE! Good job Arnie!)

If there are four or more people in your party and you are flying into Orange County/John Wayne Airport (SNA), don't bother with taking Disneyland Resort Express. It's faster to take a taxi or taxi van, which should cost $40 or less (one way) including tip. No reservation is required: just find the taxi stand outside the terminal doors.

Disneyland Resort Express, a private bus service that serves two major airports and a host of Disneyland-area hotels on a regular schedule. This company, operated by Gray Line/Coach America, offers large, comfortable tour buses. (There is a small company calling itself Disneyland Express that operates vans - watch out, it's not the same company.) No reservation is required. Payment can be in cash, traveler's checks or by major credit card.

From SNA, Disneyland Resort Express is $17 one way/$27 roundtrip for an adult; $14 one way/$18 roundtrip for a child, plus tip.

Disneyland Resort Express offers an exclusive coupon for $3 off one way or round trip for MouseSavers.com readers (PDF format). Expires 6/30/09. http://www.mousesavers.com/DisneylandResortExpress.pdf

At SNA, go outside to the Ground Transportation Center and find the area in front of the ticket booth on your left. The bus departs hourly between 7:45 am and 9:45 am; every 30 minutes between 9:45 am and 7:45 pm; and hourly between 7:45 pm and 10:45 pm.
