90 minutes for San Diego to Disneyland sounds about right, I did that quite a bit until a few months ago when I didn't renew my annual pass. Outside of heavy traffic hours, as others have mentioned, and it depends on where exactly in San Diego you're starting from. Aside from typical rush hours, Friday evenings southbound and Sunday afternoons northbound can be busy as there seems to be a lot of people coming down from LA to SD for the weekend.
are there no cops in Southern California?

where I came from, drivers doing 80mph in 55mph or 65mph zone are
arrested 35% of the time... the rest are given tickets with mandatory
court appearances. 80mph in 55mph/65mph gets you reckless driving
misdemeanor and stays on the record for 11 years. With a good traffic
lawyer, first time offenders with good driving records usually get $290
fine and the charged reduced to speeding(not misdemeanor). It's
also the only state in the US that bans radar detectors, so I guess you
all know which state I'm referring to.
