Road Trip !!
The easiest way, barring traffic, is straight up Interstate 5. Disneyland, etc. is right on the freeway in Anaheim and SFMM is right on the freeway, north of L.A., in Valencia. Depending on what time of day you go, the trip could take up to 2 hours. There are alternate, longer routes which could save you time especially if you are going northbound during peak morning rush hour, but only if you can use the car pool lane (2 or 3 per car).

Donny - at 8am on a Saturday morning traffic shouldn't be bad at all. Its LA...you'll probably encounter a little but nothing to worry about. Stick with Interstate 5 and you should make it from the Disney resort to SFMM in a little over an hour. From Disney you can use the HOV lane but it ends a few miles north at the 91 freeway. If you're really worried keep your radio tuned to either AM980 or AM1020...both are news stations with traffic reports every 5 min or so.

PS - Boblogone, you forgot my favorite "shortcut": 5, 91, 605, 105, 710, 10, 101, 170, 5...LOL!

Hell Moosh I'm not worried. I'm more worried about getting my first spin on X !! (Crosses fingers , twice for you Gator!!) plus I refuse to let myself get stressd on vacation ,
Just curious because I know absolutely nothing about the Area.
One more question, what will traffic on I-5 be like that night, don't want to be waiting for my ride to pick me up forever you know!

well i can tell you this past Saturday traffic on the 5 from Orange County heading north was hell and for the times I've had to drive that route it's been miserable. One thing about LA traffic if don't have patience and a sense of aggressiveness you can get ate up in all that madness. But I figure it will take you about an hour & 15 minutes tops. Just keep to the left in either the HOV lane or the speed lane and you should be fine.
PS: keep up with the flow of traffic and watch out for cops as you get close to downtown LA
