Hiya Cheryl - welcome to
planDisney!
I'm glad you stopped by with your question about transportation! First, just let me say how jealous I am of your upcoming trip.
Disney's Contemporary Resort is conveniently located just a short walk from
Magic Kingdom Park, recently received a magical
Incredibles-themed renovation, has exciting
new dining options, and, of course, it has a gosh darn Monorail traveling right through it! Be sure to check out the
brand new planDisney Pocket Guide on this amazing Resort for more details!
There are currently a wide variety of different options for you to consider for transportation between the Orlando airport and the Contemporary. I sure do wish the Monorail went that far, but alas, that's just a dream!
First, I've noticed that rental car rates have returned to normal, and I love having a car during my trips. Whether it's grabbing some essentials on my way to my Resort (which makes packing much easier) or hopping to another Resort for dinner or breakfast, the added flexibility is great.
Ride-sharing services are my preferred option when I'm not renting a car - lately, I've been having great experiences with Lyft. They usually offer various sizes of vehicles and types of service, so depending on your needs and budget, you'll likely find a convenient option. There are also private car services, and pricing can at times be competitive with ride-sharing services! Two new offerings are Mears Connect and The Sunshine Flyer which are motorcoach services you may want to investigate. I have yet to try them, so I can't make a suggestion there.
Lastly, you might be able to add private round-trip ground transportation to an existing Disney vacation package. I was given the option when I was recently planning, but it is not always possible to modify an existing vacation package, so if you want to explore this route, I suggest
speaking to a Reservations Cast Member.
At the end of the day, the most magical option is going to be different for every group, budget, and schedule -
please let me know if there is anything else we can help with.
Have a magical vacation!
