There are so many options to travel to Disneyland, what is the right option for you? If you’re headed from LAX to Disneyland Resorts the most typical options are taxis, rental cars, and airport shuttles. Each has its own distinct advantages and drawbacks. Whether you’re headed from your hotel or from LAX directly to Disneyland, do your research and pick the right transportation service for you and your family.
Shuttles for LAX to Disneyland
With shuttles there are both shared van and private charter shuttles available at LAX. You can save money with Xpress by booking a round trip or reserving the service ahead of time online. LAX to Anaheim takes about 40 minutes, but riders should plan for, at least, 1-½ hours of travel time because of wait times at the airport and traffic. The biggest advantage to a shuttle is flat rates. Not only are Xpress Shuttles more spacious than a taxicab, but if you ‘re stuck in traffic, the cost is fixed. This means there is no surcharge while standing still. A huge benefit for driving in LA!
There is also the Disneyland Express Bus, however, it is operated on a very fixed schedule and has limited drop off points. An Xpress Shuttle will stop wherever you need: hotel, home, or the Disneyland Park.
Rental Cars
Renting a car from LAX may be the most convenient travel option available. You drive entirely on your schedule. The thing to remember though is hotels around Disneyland often have parking fees ($10 to $25 per day). This will add up during your stay. In addition, if you’re not sightseeing outside of Disneyland, you won’t need a vehicle to get around.
Taxi & Ridesharing
Taxis are the quickest option to Disneyland in terms of having to wait at the airport. A taxi from LAX to Disneyland is also usually the most expensive option at about $90 plus. The cost depends on traffic since the meter is always running, which means a Los Angeles traffic jam can become a huge issue. And we all know the issues with surge pricing with shared ride services, this is true even in the Magic Kingdom. The biggest problem in LA, however, is pirate taxi services: drivers without licenses who charge way too much. International travelers should avoid taxis from LAX entirely.
If you’re on vacation you should be able to can enjoy your trip without worrying about how to navigate the freeways and streets of Los Angeles. Don’t let your holiday be ruined by traffic, and let Xpress do the driving for you. Reserve a Disneyland Resort shuttle today.
