We used MGCLS for car service last time (11/21), and it went well. Paid for the person to come in and help with bags. All the car services were quite pricey, and all booked up for the most part. This one was able to get us drivers each way pretty last minute, though I was giving out my payment info on a chat app to get everything booked quickly.
Good luck!

Thanks for the suggestion. I just chatted with MGCLS, but the cost is $215+. Ugh! I think we are going to have to take an Uber/Lyft which will save us money for other things for this quick trip.

Anyone suggest a certain grocery store selection for Instacart delivery for our trip? Just browsing through instacart the options are: Albertsons, Ralphs, Sprouts, WalMart, etc.
Getting normal grocery items (milk, fresh fruit, bottle water, etc.)

Yeah it's definitely pricier than WDW. If on a short trip it might be worth renting a car even. We were going for a week and didn't want to have to figure out anything at LAX at night. |

We had a very bad experience with Walmart delivery (not instacart). During our two hour delivery window that evening, I got a message saying my delivery is delayed but will be there within 2 hours. They never showed up. No communication, no e-mails, phone calls, texts, nothing. They just totally ghosted us. My parents even came home from a park early in order to pick up the delivery and it was all for naught. We were really mad. The delivery ended up coming the next day, again, with no communication or notice. Sheesh!  |

Just browsing through instacart the options are: Albertsons, Ralphs, Sprouts, WalMart, etc. Getting normal grocery items (milk, fresh fruit, bottle water, etc.) Here now and I would suggest staying away from the Vons…we had stopped at the local Aldi’s before checking in. drove over this morning and store was pretty dingy, selection wasn’t great and prices were over the top. if you’d looking for basics you might be better off with Target delivery.

If you have time, please let us know how transportation went for you. We haven’t been to dl in several years. Flying down next week for the dvc member magic night. Then will do dl following day and fly home. Flying into lax and out of sna. Plans for now are to Uber/Lyft or taxi from lax to grand Californian and then taxi from hotel to sna. I couldn’t get a dvc room so used some airline miles for the hotel.
You’re lucky. You will still get to see haunted mansion Christmas overlay. We just realized we’re going to miss out on haunted mansion and Indiana Jones.

I couldn’t get a dvc room so used some airline miles for the hotel. You’re lucky. You will still get to see haunted mansion Christmas overlay. We just realized we’re going to miss out on haunted mansion and Indiana Jones. We ended up hiring a car service. Happy Shuttle and they were GREAT! It's a smaller company. We needed a larger car (Uber XL, Lyft XL) which would've been about $90 each way without tip. Happy Shuttle was $150 + 18% gratuity from LAX to our hotel (SunCoast Park Anaheim) and they gave us a 15% discount for the ride from our hotel to the Ontario Airport so that was $154 with the tip. We had a not so pleasant experience with an Uber in Providence, RI so we figured the extra money was peace of mind. Our original flight was delayed by several hours and they were amazing and had no issues adjusting to pick us up. We were orignally supposed to arrive at 12:30 PM, but didn't get in until 7:45 PM! They text ahead of time what the vehicle looks like and the driver's name & cell. I booked them about a week before our trip. We even left a bag with Cumbl Cookies in the car when we were leaving...realized we left them once we were in security at ONT and the driver texted to offer to drive back to give us the bag. We told him to enjoy our cookies as we felt bad making him drive back. |

We have a Crumbl here and tried it twice so far and IMO you are not missing anything. But that's just my opinion...the constant lines outside the place would speak otherwise.
Now, you want the best chocolate chip cookies....Subway, surprisingly

We’re a little bit bummed we’re going to miss Indiana Jones and haunted mansion - But excited to finally get back to Disneyland. It definitely has a special place in our hearts. |
