We unknowingly booked our flight to LAX instead of the airport closer to Disneyland.

We want simple but cheap and don't want to rent a car.

tips please??

I used the Disneyland resort express bus...It was fairly cheap - and it was easy...http://www.airportbus.com/

There's a coupon too: http://www.airportbus.com/coupons.cfm

We have also taken the bus & although I have never timed it exactly I think it has taken 45-60 mins (depending on traffic- we usually arrive at LAX between 9:30am & 12noon on a weekday) and they will stop at the Disneyland Hotel first then we went to GCH & PPH was right after that.

When I used it, we were staying at the DLH, so I didn't know which ones it went to in which order, but that sounds right...then AFTER all the DLR hotels it goes to other hotels in the area. but the ride was about 45-60 minutes. It all depends on traffic.

Super Shuttle or Prime Time shared vans both service the Disney area hotels for $15 PP.

You can get travel the 40 miles from LAX to Disneyland for $2.50. At LAX, take the G Shuttle to the Metro Rail Green Line. From the Metro Rail Green Line, take Metro Bus 460, ending at DISNEYLAND. As your trip nears, go to http://www.metro.net/default.asp and enter LAX in the From box and enter Disneyland in the To box to get up to date directions. I put more detail below.

Today, September 23, 2006 , the Los Angeles Times came out with a news article (http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-taxi23sep23,0,871467.story?coll=la-home-local) stating that passengers have a 50-50 chance of being ripped off if they get into a taxi in the city of Los Angeles, according to the results of a city sting operation (http://www.taxicabsla.org/bill_of_rights.html)released Friday. By comparison, New York City officials say that their fraud rates are less than 10%.

I would avoid taking a taxi.

http://www.metro.net/default.asp is a link that will plan your trip from LAX to Disneyland. At http://www.metro.net/default.asp, enter LAX in the From box and enter Disneyland in the To box. I did and received the following results:
