Long Beach airport to Disneyland, best transportation for family of four?

[Curious Constance]

No Disneyland express from Long Beach airport it looks like. Annoying.

Any other ideas for best way to get from LGB to Disneyland area? We're staying on Harbor. This will be in June on a Saturday both ways.

Thanks!!!!

I have had terrific luck with Super Shuttle.

On time, friendly drivers, far more reasonable rates then taxis or other modes.

You can book online and pay in advance, and also use their handy tracking app.
There are many discount codes out there online too that will knock your price down even more.
A quick search will turn some up I am sure.

I tend to fly into Orange County / SNA and used to use the Disney Express service, but after several problems and the higher price tag I switched to Super Shuttle and have had a far better and more timely experience.

Have a look...they do serve LGB ( Long Beach Airport )

Also no Uber/Lyft pickups from Long Beach Airport.

So I would take the flat rate Taxi from LGB to Disneyland ($45), and then Uber/Lyft on the way back.

But if you need a Car/Booster seat (California law says a child under 8 needs one) and you don't bring your own, you will need to pre-arrange a shuttle service both ways.

Here is one company that has many positive reviews that will provide the needed car/booster seats.

What darkbeer said . As he mentioned, for Uber leaving the airport you have to arrange to be picked up at the cell phone lot which is a long walk. Flat rate taxi is usually the best unless you have a really large group. Always a bunch of taxis waiting right outside the terminal. Most are Prius, but you shouldn't have any problems getting a minivan sized taxi if necessary.

Luckily both kids are over the age of needing a booster seat, so I won't need to worry about that this time!

Thank you for the recommendations! Will look into all of these options

Glad that isn't an issue, but I have a habit of not just answering the question, but also addressing the topic in general, in case others that have a similar issue end up reading this due to a search. And the Car Seat is an important issue for safety, and how to deal with the options that work out for those who need them.

And if you have never used Uber/Lyft, there are credits available that basically would make the return trip free, and I would guess the price at around $30 without the credit.

Hmmm interesting, I haven't ever used it before.

I ditto what @Figments Friend stated. I have had very good luck with Super Shuttle for my DLR trips. I generally fly into LAX, so it is definitely more cost effective.

I always fly into Long Beach. I take Uber. While it's true that they can't pick up from the airport curb, that airport is crazy small, and as a result you can walk across the street into a parking lot, probably a three to four minute walk, and hail one there. I always do that. and it costs me around 22 bucks to get to Harbor from there.
