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.  |
Thanks, that's a lot of great info! We want to check out more of SoCal, but will only have 1 day most likely, although, even if we do a tour, we would probably have to drive there. It might make more sense to get a car, so we can get to/from the airport (whichever that may be), and also to get to LA for whatever tour we do....hmmm..
I guess I will be looking at options out of NY or Newark or Boston in addition to Hartford. I just hate leaving my car there
for a $300 difference, I'll get over it!
