Hi Richard!
Welcome to
planDisney! It sounds like you have an exciting trip coming up! And your question just reminded me that I actually have to book my airport transportation for my next trip, too!
For a bigger party like yours, I personally recommend taking a shuttle such as Mears Connect or private transportation (you can do an internet search to see quite a few options!).
With the size of your party, you may actually find that a private transport is similar price-wise to the shuttle, but you’ll get the convenience of going straight to your
Disney World resort instead of potentially making a few stops when using the shuttle. Plus, there are some great private transportation companies that include a car seat as part of the price, as well.
Something else that I love doing for arrival day is setting up a grocery delivery to my resort. I like to order any bulky or perishable items that my family may need, such as snacks, diapers, water bottles, and easy breakfast items.
I’ve noticed that some private airport transportation services will also allow you to schedule a grocery pickup on the way to your resort if that’s something you’re interested in. If you have your groceries delivered straight to your resort, though, and you’re not at the resort when they arrive,
Bell Services will be happy to store them for you.
I hope that helps! If you have any other questions as you continue to plan, feel free to come back and visit us. Have the best time with your family!
