Hi there, Alexis!
Thanks for reaching out to planDisney. Traveling with a car seat definitely requires extra planning, so I'm glad you are figuring it out ahead of time. I avoided traveling with a car seat as much as possible when my kids were little. It doesn't help that I'm an over-packer, so adding a car seat to the mix was just too much!

Getting from the Airport to the Disneyland Resort page has some transportation ideas based on which airport you are flying into. Karmel Connect Service is mentioned a few times, and you can call them to ask about car seats. You can also search online for private cars or shuttles. When I have used a private car service in the past, I was able to request a car seat or booster seat.
When I fly into Long Beach Airport, I often use taxicabs, but you would probably need to bring a car seat for that option to work. I know some travel car seats that pack up smaller are now available. You would just need to search for them online. If you decide to bring a car seat, most airlines don't charge to check them at the front counter, in my experience.
Are you planning to visit before the end of the year? If so, you are in for a treat!
Halloween Time at Disneyland kicked off earlier this month. This spooktacular time of year is full of tasty treats, "bootiful" decorations, and fun overlays on some of my favorite attractions, including Haunted Mansion Holiday. Later in the year,
the Holidays will take over Disneyland with festive music and even more sparkling fun!
Alexis, have a safe journey to Disneyland! We hope to see you real soon!
Magic Happens!
