Greetings and welcome to planDisney, Sharlyn! We are thrilled to answer your first question and help you plan an unforgettable Disney adventure. Can you believe you will be making pixie-dusted memories at the
Walt Disney World Resort in just a few weeks?
In my opinion, there is nothing better than staying right in the middle of the magic at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel. I love enjoying Guest benefits like
Early Theme Park Entry,
complimentary transportation, being able to purchase individual
Lightning Lane entry beginning at 7:00 AM,
making dining reservations for the duration of my stay 60 days prior to my arrival, and more! One of my favorite perks is complimentary transportation because it allows me not to worry about driving and parking while on vacation. I can sit back and relax and let Disney transportation take me everywhere I need to go inside the Walt Disney World Resort.
Since I don't particularly appreciate driving while on vacation, it is great to know I can rely on different transportation options to travel between Orlando International Airport and my Disney Resort hotel. I have been using the transfer services operated by Mears Connect, and so far, I have only had great experiences. They offer shuttle transportation using motorcoach buses and sometimes vans. I recommend visiting their website to check prices and book transportation.
Mears Connect is a shared-ride shuttle service, which means you will share a vehicle with other Guests. You may have to make stops at other destinations before getting to your resort, so if you are in a hurry, I believe the best option is to take a taxi, use a rideshare service like Uber and Lyft, or hire a private car service. If you don't mind driving, you can also rent a car and take advantage of
complimentary standard parking at your Disney Resort hotel and at the theme parks.
I hope this information helps you while planning, Sharlyn. Do not hesitate to stop by if you have additional questions, we are delighted to help!
Best magical wishes,
Thiana
