Hi Phil,
Welcome back to planDisney!
We are delighted to see you stopping by with a great question. Looking at your anticipated arrival date, it looks like you may have arrived. If so, I hope this answer is helpful for your return trip. I am glad to see you staying at a
Disney Resort Collection hotel! There are a few options for you to consider that will get you from the airport to your hotel. On my last visit, I used MEARS. Once you land, exit towards baggage claim, and look for the signs for MEARS. It took me about an hour to get to my hotel. My hotel was the last stop for the shuttle bus. So, keep that in mind.
When I have less time, I have used a ride share service like Lyft or Uber. When I am traveling alone, these are more expensive than MEARS. So, you just need to do some price comparisons. I typically go into the Lyft or Uber mobile apps to check the pricing. I have been able to check without actually confirming the ride. Finally, there are private car services that you could book.
Once you have booked that ride, double-check your other plans including
advanced dining reservations. I highly recommend a few, especially given the time of year you plan to visit. If you have not yet purchased
Memory Maker, consider it. I am so very glad that we used it on all of our earlier trips. Now that our girls are seniors in high school, those photo memories of them when they were little are priceless.
Phil, safe travels and I am sending a wish to the Evening Star in the spirit of Princess Tiana trusting that your visit is magical! One final tip - if you have not yet booked a
Candlelight Processional Dining Package and will be there during the dates of the show, I highly recommend!
Magic and memories,
Donyell
