NEWS: Orlando Airport Transportation to Disney World Announces CHANGE

By 2 Comments

While most of us still miss Disney World’s free Magical Express airport transportation service (and will never quite get over this missing perk), there is another way to get from the Orlando Airport to your Disney World hotel that’s equally convenient.

Mears Connect bus

Mears Connect has been around for a few years now, and while it’s a paid travel service (unlike Magical Express, which was free), many find that it’s easier than using a rideshare service like Uber, especially if they’re traveling with younger kids. Now, Mears Connect just announced a change that we have a feeling lots of travelers will LOVE!

After Using 2 VASTLY Different Disney World Magical Express Replacements, I’m Shocked at the One I Liked Best

By 10 Comments

Let me tell you a little story about my last trip to Disney World. I landed at Orlando International Airport, and as soon as my feet hit that iconic green carpet, I knew what I had to do. I had to get myself to Disney World!

Orlando International Airport

Now, several years ago, I used to be able to stroll right down to the Disney Magical Express zone, hop on a bus, and go straight to my Disney resort…for FREE.

I recently tested two of the most popular options, Mears Connect and Uber, and I’m here to give you my honest thoughts on both services.
