The carpool lane helps a lot if you're traveling on a freeway that has one. (The 5 start south of the 91 and the 710 has none). The best route to take at 6:30 would be the 105 East to the 605 South to the 91 East to the 5 South. There is a carpool lane for the 91 to 5 transition and a carpool exit to Disneyland Drive.
At 6:30 traffic won't be too bad. You;ll get bogged down at the 105/605 interchange and possibly at the 605/91 interchange but if it take you longer than an hour (it's 35 miles) I'd be surprised. Just stay off the 405 and the 22.
If you want an adventure (that will take longer) get on Sepulveda, which runs parallel to the entrance to LAX, take it South. Sepulveda becomes Willow through Long Beach then it becomes Katella in Orange County. You'll end up at Katella and Harbor which is where Disneyland is. Sadly, there's not much of anything exciting to see along the way.
