What is the best airport to fly into? And, what is good transportation to the Grand Californian from that airport? We will not be renting a car.
Also, if we want to spend one of the days visiting LA, are there any tours or transport options that are recommended? Thanks for any info! |
Everyone is going to tell you it's easiest to fly into John Wayne airport, which is TRUE it's the closest. ALTHOUGH, everytime I go to California (ALWAYS in June also) & check the fares from Newark to John Wayne versus Newark to LAX the price difference is HUGE.... at least a $300 difference. Who knows, if you can get a flight from wherever your departure city is to John Wayne, go for it! LAX is about an hour (give or take traffic) from Disneyland.
As far as transport to the resort we've always had a rental car b/c we visit all over SoCal but I know that John Wayne is only about 15 miles from Disneyland, so that's easy peasy. If you do the LAX route there are shuttle buses & supershuttles. I know others have used them & have mixed reviews so I am sure someone else can chime in there.
If you are going to do one day in the Los Angeles area and WANT to do a tour I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend a company called "LA City Tours" I've used them on three different occassions now & enjoyed every experience. I took my Dad on one called "Hollywood & Movie Stars Homes" & he got SUCH a kick out of it. They had hotel pickup in the LA area but I remember on one tour we met at the office b/c we were traveling somewhere afterwards. The prices of the tours were REALLY reasonable too. This is their website:
Los Angeles City Tours: Hollywood Tours | Movie Star Homes Tours and more
I hope that helps.
