LAX to Anaheim - how much slower is the Super Shuttle than a cab?
I am flying to LAX and need to get to the Anaheim Hilton (essentially the convention centre). Although it's only 29 miles, I am told it will take 90 minutes and cost $100 by cab. That's quite a cab fare, so I am thinking of the Super Shuttle. Problem is, every time I try the shuttle, it seems we spend 30-45 minutes driving around the airport, and then go to everyone else's hotels (and homes!) first, adding what feels like another hour to the trip.
Since I'll be landing at 10pm California time, which will feel like 1am, I'm really not up for that. But perhaps the freeway part of the journey is the bigger part, and it won't be that bad? Does anyone have experience with cabs, shuttles etc specifically from LAX to Anaheim, and suggestions for which I should choose?

Yep, that's the nature of SuperShuttle... it takes twice as long and drives you batty, but it does save some money.
Do you really have to fly to LAX? There are two commercial airports closer than LAX to Anaheim -- John Wayne and Long Beach -- both of which are pleasant, quieter airports.

After more than 30 years of picking people up at LAX and other airports SuperShuttle has shut down at the end of 2019. Prime Time and SuperShuttle have worked side by side since the beginning of shared ride shuttles at LAX. Shortly after Prime Time began operations the blue vans began rolling alongside our red ones.Shuttle to LAX for less than $10: The LAX FlyAway Bus Guide

Answer 2
As it happened I did not go to Anaheim from LAX but to Carlsbad. However I have just taken the reverse trip. I booked a 5:05 shuttle from the Anaheim Hilton. We pulled out about 5:15 but proceeded to go back and forth from hotel to hotel and in fact drove past the Hilton for the last time about 6pm. We pulled onto airport property at 6:40, much to the consternation of the fellow with the 7:30 flight who'd been told it was a 45 minute trip, and since we went to his terminal first, I ended up walking into my terminal about 7:00 for let's call it a two hour trip.
So yeah, my history of the shuttle - that it adds a minimum of an hour to the trip - holds true even here in California where the intercity trip might be thought to outweigh the fiddling around time. I knew what I was up for which is why I booked a 5pm shuttle.
Answer 3
Just did it last night. Depends how many people are travelling for us it was 4 so we decided on a taxi. Bad idea it cost $110 from LAX to Anaheim, I should've taken the $18 pp in a shuttle. Hope that helps!
