Remember Disney’s Magical Express? 🚌 It’s no longer around, but there’s a low-cost option that works the same way! Mears Connect takes you from MCO to your Disney Resort for about $31.50 per adult and $25.20 per child round trip. Kids under 3 ride free!

You’ll need to grab your luggage at baggage claim (they don’t deliver bags anymore), and since it’s a shared bus, travel time is usually 45–60 minutes depending on your resort and hiw many stops there are. Return pick-up is scheduled about 3 hours before domestic flights.

I can book this for my clients so your vacation starts stress-free the moment you land. 🌟 Ready to plan your next Disney trip? Link in bio to get started!

... Read moreSo, you're wondering, 'how much is Mears transportation to Disney?' Let me break down my personal experience and what you can expect, beyond just the price tag! It's one of my favorite low-cost ways to kick off a Disney World vacation stress-free. First off, the cost: it’s super transparent. You're looking at around $31.50 per adult and $25.20 per child for a round trip. And here’s a fantastic tip for families: kids under 3 ride absolutely free! When you consider the convenience of not having to worry about parking, navigating Orlando traffic, or paying for expensive rideshares, this cost feels like a steal. It truly helps your vacation start the moment you land at MCO. Now, let’s talk about the journey itself, because knowing the ropes makes it even smoother. After you land, you'll need to grab your luggage at baggage claim – remember, they don't deliver bags to your resort anymore. Once you have your bags, make your way over to Terminal B. This is where the magic begins! Follow the signs for Ground Transportation. You’ll walk past all of those bustling Rental Car Stations – keep going! Head all the way down as far as you can until you reach the dedicated Mears Check-in Point. It's clearly marked, so don't worry about getting lost. Once you check in, the friendly Mears staff will direct you to your specific bus line. They organize buses by resort areas, which is really efficient. On my last trip, I was heading to Coronado Springs, and thankfully, it was the first resort stop for my bus! I’ve also seen lines for All-Star Resorts and the Animal Kingdom Lodge, among others. This system ensures a relatively direct route to your hotel. I remember being on the bus by about 8:50 AM and arriving at my resort around 9:30 AM – super quick for a shared ride! It’s important to remember that Mears Connect is a shared bus service, so travel time can vary. Typically, you can expect the ride to your resort to be between 45–60 minutes, depending on how many stops there are before yours. For the return trip to the airport, Mears schedules your pick-up approximately three hours before your domestic flight. This gives you plenty of buffer time, which is always reassuring when you’re trying to catch a flight. For me, the value isn't just in the dollar amount, but in the peace of mind. Not having to manage logistics after a flight, especially with little ones or a lot of luggage, is priceless. It’s a reliable, comfortable, and budget-friendly way to get from MCO directly to the magic of Disney World. If you're planning your trip, definitely consider Mears Connect for a hassle-free start and end to your adventure!
