Hi everyone. My SO and I are planning our first ever trip to both the West Coast and DLR. I have spent hours reading and planning, and this is what we have decided and the question we are hoping you kind, dear people might help with:
We are flying into San Diego Saturday, Oct 14th. We already have airline and hotel reservations. The first big question mark for us is our trip from San Diego to Anaheim. We think we will take Amtrak. However, I have a couple of questions. First, is it necessary to book those tickets ahead? We plan to leave San Diego on Wednesday the 18th, but aren't sure if we will be eager to leave San Diego or have more we want to accomplish before getting on the train that day. I know there are multiple trains, so it would be ideal if we could leave that decision to be made at the time. Any thoughts or advise would be much appreciated.
Getting to the train station will involve a taxi ride from our hotel in Little Italy. We debated taking a bus or trolley, but we both feel that for our personal mental health, the taxi will be the least stressful and foreign. Once we reach Anaheim, I think we'll probably do the same to get to the hotel. We're staying at the Ramada Maingate across the street from Disneyland. I saw some conversation about resort area busses or shuttles from the train station, but the map I found makes it seem as though we would get dropped off a block from our hotel. Does that sound right?
We'll be at DLR from the 18th-21st. We have three day park-hoppers, so I think we're good on time. The last fuzzy connection involves how we should get to the airport. We're flying out of LAX. I have seem varying estimates about time and distance and price for transportation, but what really concerns me is that everyone agrees that a taxi from DLR to LAX will cost almost $100. Sometimes mental health has to take take a back seat.
Any suggestion about how to make it from DLR to LAX to meet our 9:00AM flight home would be much appreciated!

) We spent the day in SD then drove back to DL. We enjoyed driving and will do it again. It is very easy to drive, practically a straight shot.
