Burbank is another option, though I think it's furthest. Though, if you're not flying into Long Beach/John Wayne, the commute to DLR kinda sucks no matter where you're coming from.
I flew into LAX this past May and the shuttle to the resort took about an hour with three stops coming before mine. That was without traffic. The ride back took nearly twice that with no stops because of traffic.

SNA is as close as you can get.

I recomend Ontario Internatinal. The ride only took about an hour.
That would be John Wayne.Pongo said:

The opposite side of the coin, though, is the 2.5 hours I spent driving from Santa Clarita to Anaheim in LA traffic. Most traffic isn't as bad as many would have you believe, but LA traffic really does live up to the legend. A friend's company flies it workers from near San Diego to Palmdale on a private jet rather than have them waste the time driving the 90 miles. It's that bad.

When you get to John Wayne Airport, you can take SUPERSHUTTLE right to your hotel.
Be sure to call or go online and make reservations in advance.

As I mentioned in another thread somewhere, if you've got at least 4 people, pay the extra $10 or so for a "private" shuttle, which will take ONLY your party DIRECTLY to your hotel. Otherwise, as with all shuttles, you may have to make a few other stops first, and wait til your shuttle is filled before they send it from the airport. Same thing on the return trip - we had our own "private" shuttle. It really made the trip go smoothly!

SNA is a great airport and 1 of my favorite airports. It will take about 20 minutes to get to DL if there is no traffic. I used SupperShuttle from SNA and it was pretty efficient. I think it was $10 each way plus gratuity.

John Wayne is the most convenient airport to Disneyland by far.
Long Beach is next, then Ontario. Ontario is a very modern, clean airport, but it's a ways out in the Inland Empire and if you hit the freeways at rush hour it can be quite a drive to Orange County. But John Wayne is very close, very efficient, modern, attractive, well designed and friendly.
The worst thing you could do is to try and fly into LAX. LAX is massive, overcrowded, ugly, decaying, rife with crime and scam artists in baggage claim and curbside, located in a very unsafe part of town, and horribly clogged with traffic. Did I mention it's also one of the ugliest airport facilities in the country? Flying in to LAX is a death wish. Avoid it like the plague.

I've flown into Long Beach. I usually drive down but wanted to avoid the hassle. Cab ride to DL is a flat fee of $35. From a Disney hotel to the Long Beach airport, they'll give you a coupon for a cab that was about, I think, $45. I'm sure there were cheaper options. I flew JetBlue into Long Beach.

You've officially scared out of flying into LAX :lol:
Looks my choice is John Wayne. Thanks everyone for the great advice! :wave:
Does Airport Bus [I believe that was the name] still run to John Wayne? If so they were a good alt. to SuperShuttle and certainly more comfortable in a huge bus vs. a small van. You just had to time it right. Good choice on flying into John Wayne - that is a nice little airport...
