Hiya, Kristen!
Welcome to planDisney and Welcome Home, neighbor! Oh boy, how exciting that you are planning an upcoming trip to Walt Disney World. It sounds like it has been a few years since your last visit. You are in for a magical experience like never before, Kristen. So many shining, shimmering, and splendid things to see - it's a whole new world!
Kristen, you are correct that there used to be a Disney-operated shuttle service from the Orlando International Airport to the Walt Disney World Resort. Unfortunately, this was discontinued a couple of years ago. However, hakuna matata, Kristen! It means "no worries." There are other available options you can book directly.
The Mears Connect service is a popular shuttle that many Guests enjoy to get
to and from the airport to the Disney Resort Hotels. Alternatively, you can rent a car or book a taxi or ride share to get to and from the airport.
Now, once you are on property, as a Disney Resort Hotel Guest, you have
complimentary transportation with the Disney Bus Transportation, Monorail, Water Taxis, and Disney Skyliner to get to locations on property. You can also book the
Disney Minnie Van service (operated by Lyft) for a fee if you want to get to places in a snap. You would make this request through the Lyft app.
I hope this helps you, Kristen. If you have any additional questions about your upcoming Disney vacation, stop back and see me here. You'll find me at the second star to the right and straight on til morning.
Ta Ta For Now,
Keri
