Just keep Waze open as you drive.
Have driven to San Diego a few times over the past couple months -- each time leaving late morning/mid-day. Getting out of LA has been the least of my concerns. Almost every trip I have sat on the 5 south of San Clemente for an hour due to an accident or construction.
As for LA, have also driven to Anaheim a few times recently. The best route (based on google and Waze's real-time estimates) has tended to be 405-105-605-91-5. There is construction on the 5 between downtown LA and the OC line that has been causing delays. But then again I am already on this side of the mountain in Santa Monica - not sure what the best path will be coming into LA (though usually mid-day the 405 south from the 101 is ok).
