    how to get from Orlando airport to Disney resort

    Hi there, Karen, and welcome to planDisney. 

    Heigh-ho, heigh-ho! It won't be long until it's off to Walt Disney World you go! I am not at all "bashful" about telling you how "happy" I am that you've stopped by planDisney! Here, we are never "grumpy," so "with a smile and a song," let me help you with your important question. 

    As an out-of-state Annual Passholder, I often fly into the Orlando Airport (MCO). I'm happy to share my experience so you can get to the magic quickly and easily. 

    Mears Connect shuttle service is a clean and affordable transportation option my family has used many times. You can visit their website before your trip to book and pay for your transportation online. Upon arrival, you'll collect your luggage and follow the directions to the bus location provided in your confirmation email. One thing to keep in mind is that the buses stop at multiple Resort hotels, so this may not be the fastest option unless you choose their upgraded express service.

    Using a ride-share service like Lyft or Uber is another transportation option. My husband and I usually travel just the two of us, so this is the option we use most often. While the pricing can be slightly higher than Mears Connect, it is typically the fastest way to reach our Resort hotel, and the extra cost is generally minimal. We have personally never encountered any issues and feel safe using this form of transportation. Of course, you also have the option of renting a vehicle.

    Karen, I hope this information helps you with your travel plans. Before I wrap up, I want to make sure you're aware of a fantastic benefit you'll receive on check-in day at your Disney Resort hotel. For all of 2025, Guests staying at Resort hotels will enjoy complimentary admission to a Disney water park on the day they check in! What a fabulous perk!

    Please stop by planDisney anytime. We are always here "whistling while we work," wanting to make your vacation as memorable as possible. Also, follow us on Instagram for tips and information. Enjoy your vacation! 

    WISHING you WELL, 
    Shonette
