I am celebrating my 50th this year and am heading to Disneyland. I am staying at Paradise Pier. There is going to be 4 of us.

My concern is the price of the transportation from and back to the airport. Holy Cow! I have gone to WDW dozens of times and am used to free transportation on the ME. The price of the shuttle ($98 per person from LAX and $70 from Orange County) was really an eye opener.

Is there a better way to get directly from either airport (we have not booked our flights yet)? I saw something about Disneyland Express but my AAA agent wasn't aware of that. Not heading west until Oct so plenty of time to get things settled.

Thanks in advance!
