    1) do a google search for lax ground transportation, there are several companies that go to the DL resort area. 2) You would be best to rent a car. Dont go after dark. There may also be some tours that go from the DL resort to Hollywood. 3) about 6 miles. You can take public transportation...

    Disney Design Group or imagineering?

    I disagree with this statement. I have watched the Disney job postings for several years now, waiting for the right position. While there are many positions with the Walt Disney company that require a BA with 5 years experience in the field or a masters these are more technical positions such as...

    How much to buy Disney

    It was a good thing that comcast did not buy Disney, if they had they would have ruined the company. I have comcasts triple play service and since the day it was installed we have had problems. It has taken over 30 phone calls and 7 tech visits to get my problems resolved and they have just...

    I'm going to Disneyland!

    Disneyland is great, its much more intimate than WDW. If you can afford it stay at one of the Disney owned hotels. I would try for the original Disneyland Hotel myself, Grand Californian is spectacular but very pricy, along the lines of any of the WDW hotels on the monorail line. I recommend 5...
