Hey - cool to see that there is a few of us now going! i just had my 21st in nyc and now in la getting ready to start the trip - is everyone staying at the hotel for a few nights before the tour starts? me and cathleen have been talking about doing disneyland on the 28th/29th if anyone else is keen to join us. Linda - Auckland, NZ

yeh my friend and i are staying at anaheim on the 29th...but we wont get there until around 5-530 pm...then after the tour we are staying three nights in LA to do disney and universal

Just rang Contiki and I'm almost confirmed they just need to check there is enough space on the Grand Canyon leg of the tour. I'd love to join you for some sightseeing before the trip starts, will hopefully know asap! What hotel does the tour leave from, this hasn't been confirmed to me yet? I've been recommended to get the DIsneyland express from LAX to Anaheim, would you all agree with this? Laura x PS - I'm 25!

Hi Laura - that good that you maybe joining us Tour leaves from the Best Western Stovalls Inn - Im staying 4 nights before the tour so I can do Disneyland. Yeah the Disneyland Express is the best - that is what I am using. Not long now - 2 sleeps for me before hitting LA

the disney land express...is that like the contiki shuttle bus?...how much is it and how often does it come?...any more info u can give me...cheers!

Its just a transfer from LAX to the hotels in the Disneyland area - depends on where you are but I only paid $20 NZD for the oneway transfer - this is the info on the voucher:

Disneyland Resort Express provide a scheduled transfer service (no reservation required) from Los Angeles International Airport to Anaheim.

After collecting your bags at the Los Angeles International Airport, proceed outside to the centre island.Disneyland Resort Express picks up under the overhead GREEN BUS STOP sign.

The pick up starts up on the hour starting at Terminal #1. Please allow 3 - 5 minutes for pick ups between each terminal.
Travel time to the Anaheim Resort area is approximately 45 minutes depending on traffic.

To confirm the time of the next bus, use the courtesy phone located in the baggage claim
area or call 714 978 8855 or 800 828 6699 and ask for dispatch.

Not sure if I'm staying at the Stovall's for the 2 nights, the Econolodge next door is loads cheaper, but I've not asked Contiki about their rates for Stovall's yet so I may give them a call later. Can't wait!

PS - Anyone know which hotel we stay at in Las Vegas?

at Vegas:
Americas Best Value Inn and Suites
167 East Tropicana ave.

that tour sounds interesting

LAURAZA! that tour of LA...is anaheim stovalls the only pick up place or do they pick up all over LA.. for instance, Anaheim Plaza Suites?

I think the tour will pick up at most Anaheim hotels so you should be fine being picked up at the Anaheim Plaza Suites.

Hi cathleen
We arrive on the 27th so only have a couple of days in LA before the tour . We are staying in a place called the stay hotel, was cheep but apparently kinda rough, so am a bit scared but am sure will be fine. woop one more day to go. guess will c you on the tour x

1 MORE SLEEP!
