Getting to Orange County, California

All weekend events are in Orange County, Southern California. The JW Marriott Anaheim Resort is the home base — located steps from Disneyland and about 20 minutes from the Gurudwara in Buena Park.

Airports

John Wayne Airport (SNA) — Recommended

~15 minutes from JW Marriott

Orange County's closest airport. Flights from major US hubs including SFO, SEA, DFW, ORD, and more. Easiest in and out — no LA traffic.

Los Angeles International (LAX)

~45 minutes from JW Marriott (traffic-dependent)

Best for international arrivals and the widest selection of routes and airlines. Budget extra time for LA traffic.

Long Beach Airport (LGB)

~30 minutes from JW Marriott

Smaller and stress-free. JetBlue and Southwest service. A great option if fares are competitive.

Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR)

~50 minutes from JW Marriott

Good option if flying from Northern California or on Southwest. Smaller and easier than LAX.

Ceremony Day Shuttle

On Friday, November 27, a shuttle will run from the JW Marriott to Singh Sabha Gurudwara in Buena Park for the Anand Karaj ceremony. Departure is at 8:00 AM from the hotel entrance.

Return shuttles will be provided after Langar (approximately 2:00 PM). If you plan to drive yourself, parking is available at the Gurudwara.

Getting Around

Rideshare

Uber and Lyft are widely available throughout Orange County. This is the easiest option for getting between the hotel, Gurudwara, and local spots.

Rental Car

Recommended if you plan to explore the coast, head into LA, or venture to Artesia (Little India). All major rental agencies are available at SNA and LAX.

Walking

The JW Marriott is walkable to Disneyland, Downtown Disney, and nearby restaurants and shops. You may not need a car at all if you're staying at the hotel.

Travel Notes

  • November weather in Orange County is mild and sunny — expect 65–75°F during the day and cooler evenings. A light jacket is all you'll need.
  • Thanksgiving is November 26 — one of the busiest travel weeks of the year. Book flights early and budget extra time at the airport.
  • Hotel parking is available at the JW Marriott (valet and self-parking). If driving to the Gurudwara, free parking is available on site.
