Good News! You can still get to Disney World without the Magical Express<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Did you miss the big news this week? It was pretty hard to, given that it was all over Disney social media. Beginning in 2022, Disney’s Magical Express will cease to operate. (Find out the details here in this article<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Now, we went to Walt Disney World before the Disney\u2019s Magical Express<\/a> existed, and we can tell you that you can still get to Walt Disney World<\/a>. In fact, there are more ways than ever and even more are coming.\u00a0 Let\u2019s face it, Universal Orlando Resort<\/a> does not have Magical Express but millions of Orlando visitors make it to the Resort anyway. Here\u2019s a couple of ways you can get to Walt Disney World now, as well as in the future. (Editor’s Note: Reminder – Magical Express will still be available for those who travel to the Walt Disney World Resort in 2021.<\/em>)<\/p>\n

Mears Transportation<\/h2>\n

You may not know this, but Mears has been around for decades in Orlando. Their yellow busses were first on the scene at the Orlando International, long before Disney’s Magical Express ever existed. In fact, you may not know it, but Mears works with Disney to operate Disney’s Magical Express. Mears has already released a statement that they will continue to service Walt Disney World without the Magical Express. (Editor’s Note: Of course, the main difference is that using Mears won’t be complimentary.<\/em>)<\/p>\n

Mears has the Orlando International Airport<\/a> concession for ground transportation. This means that they are the primary and official transportation company servicing the airport. They already offer a variety of methods to get to Walt Disney World now. Mears operates taxis, shuttle busses, town cars and limos. What they don\u2019t do right now is ride share but I expect that will come back post COVID.<\/p>\n

Shuttle Vans $23-$37 per person one way.<\/h2>\n

These are officially operated by Mears although some other companies claim to service the airport (there may be pick up\/drop off issues), these are the smaller ride share vans. There are fewer stops and fewer people to pick up\/drop off but they may have longer drives between drop off and pick up.<\/p>\n

Taxi: $52 – $68<\/h2>\n

Taxi may carry up to 9 passengers and the charge is per car, not per person. The charges are on a metered basis so the final fare may vary. We recommend contacting the company and checking for reservation and maximum passenger size. Remember to tell them about your luggage!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

We’ll miss the Magical Expresses out of date videos as well as the magic of a bus driver named “Tom Love”.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Private Limousine \/ Town Car \/ SUV $135-210<\/h2>\n

There are over 200 listings for private cars at the Orlando International Airport. Our suggestion is to Google what you\u2019d like and to check their reviews. Make sure they are listed on the Orlando International Airport website. We also have discounts listed for some here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ride Share $22 – $140<\/h2>\n

Uber, Lyft and Wingz have been allowed to operate from Orlando International since 2017. Uber and Lyft have surge pricing that they employ when they are busy, it\u2019s late or whenever we call. Prices also vary by type of car. We aren\u2019t familiar with Wingz \u2013 they aren\u2019t in our area. Wingz, however, promises that they will wait for you rather than have you wait for the car.<\/p>\n

All these prices are estimates using the ride share pages.<\/p>\n
