Hi Lori, and Welcome to
planDisney! Thanks so much for sending me your question. I'm always happy to help a fellow Colorado mom!
There are several
transportation options to get from Orlando International Airport to
Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort. MEARS Connect Shuttle is a shuttle service you can make reservations for that provides round-trip transportation. Their number is (407) 422-2222. Another transportation option is Lyft, which is the official rideshare partner of the
Walt Disney World Resort. You could also book a private car service or rent a car to drive.
You are correct about needing
theme park reservations. While I know it can be hard to choose your theme park days in advance, it is important that you do this sooner rather than later because theme park reservation availability can be limited and is not guaranteed. Because your arrival date is bookended by Valentine's Day and Presidents Day weekend, it will likely be busier in the theme parks. You could wait another month or two to purchase
theme park tickets and make the theme park reservations, but I wouldn't wait too much longer than that.
If you have more questions as you are planning, please feel free to send more questions to
me at planDisney! I'm happy to continue to help you and excited for you to visit The Most Magical Place on Earth!
Happy Planning!
Smiles,
Lisa
