    Hi! Is there any transportation available from Orlando Airport (MCO) to Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campgrounds? I will be staying with my family in an RV, but I will be arriving separately from the airport.

    Hiya Joeidy! 

    Welcome to planDisney! My husband and I once in a while still talk about how we miss Disney's Magical Express transportation service which used to bring guests back and forth from Orlando International Airport (MCO) and their Walt Disney World Resort. It is long gone but some private businesses have worked to take its place. 

    A major shuttle service that you can reserve before you arrive is MEARS Connect. (Just do an internet search for it!) They have locations at all the terminals and can get you to The Campsites at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort. I highly suggest pre-booking a spot on the bus for a flat rate but they do accept walk-up guests who don't have a reservation. I have used this option and have been pleasantly surprised by how comfortable and easy it was. Just be forewarned there is a chance your shuttle bus will make a few stops before they get to your Resort. 

    Another option that I use most often is to hail an Uber or Lyft. There are a ton of drivers ready to go at the airport at all times and the flexibility of just calling for a cab when I need it is helpful. It can be pricier than the MEARS Connect though but it does provide direct service to your Resort. 

    I'm going to be staying at the Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort this year and I am most excited to experience the Chip 'N' Dale Campfire Sing-A-Long! Anyone can roast marshmallows at any Resort but it is only here that Chip 'N' Dale joins in on the fun! Review the posted Recreation Guide at the Resort and don't miss out!

    I hope this helps and you safely find your way to the magic!

    Happy Planning!
