LAX to Anaheim Transfer?

score:4

Accepted answer

The cheapest, but also probably most timeconsuming option seems to be a combination of Flyaway bus and Metrolink:

Take the Flyaway bus to Union station (bus runs approx. every 30 minutes), info at https://www.flylax.com/flyaway-bus/union-station. One way fare for that part is 9.75$

Then take Metrolink Orange County line from Union Station to Orange (timetable: https://metrolinktrains.com/globalassets/rider-info/rail2rail_timetable_oceanside_04.03.17.pdf), fare for this part is 9$. Note, depending on the exact time of the day, you might have to use a different rail line here, e.g. Pacific Surfliner or Metrolink Perris Valley Line.

From Orange rail station take bus line 54 to Chapman-West, from there it's around a half mile walk (a bit more than 10 minutes) to your destination. Fare for this part should be 1.75$, which brings it to a total of 20.50$. Total travel time according to Google Maps around 2.5 hours.

A cheaper option is to take the LA Metro from LAX and transfer onto a local bus to Anaheim.

From the LAX terminals, you can take the free shuttle bus to the Aviation/LAX LA Metro station. From there, it costs $1.75 for a single ride on the LA Metro (plus $2 to purchase a TAP card). Ride the C Line (Green Line) to the eastern terminus at Norwalk. From there, you can take LA bus route 460 with a free transfer, which terminates at the Disneyland local bus stop. (The 75-cent express surcharge that normally applies to the route doesn't apply for travel between Norwalk and Anaheim.)

In your specific case, to get to your hotel at Harbor Blvd. and Orangewood Ave., you can then take Orange County bus route 43 from Disneyland, which has a stop at that intersection. The fare for OCTA bus routes is $2, and they do not accept TAP cards, so you must either pay in cash or buy a ticket from the OCTA app. Several other OCTA bus routes stop at the Disneyland bus stop, making it easy to travel elsewhere in Anaheim.

To summarize, you can get to your hotel in Anaheim from LAX for a total of $5.75 maximum ($2 TAP card purchase, $1.75 LA Metro fare, free transfer to LA buses, and $2 Orange County bus fare). The return journey would be $3.75 since you already have a TAP card.
