Getting to Disney World from MCO:
A Guide to Ground Transportation Options
When it comes to making your way from Orlando International Airport (MCO) to Disney World, you’ve got several options to consider. I highly recommend booking transportation services on your own, as this can save you stress if your flight schedule changes at the last minute. Handling the arrangements yourself means you’re the main contact for the transportation company, avoiding the hassle of communicating through a third party if any issues arise.
Here’s a breakdown of the best ways to get to Disney World from MCO:
1. Use a Rideshare When You’re Ready
Rideshares like Lyft, Uber, and taxis are usually available as soon as you arrive at MCO. Prices for these services can vary based on the time of day, the number of people in your group, and driver availability. To use one of these options:
•Collect your luggage, then request a ride through the app or join the queue at the taxi stand.
•Uber and Lyft are especially convenient if you don’t need car seats. I always check both apps to see which is more affordable on the day I arrive. You can also pre-schedule your ride for added convenience!
2. Book a Ride in Advance
For families traveling with young children or those who prefer a prearranged private shuttle, consider booking with Happy Limo or Away We Go. Both companies provide reliable shuttle services, and if needed, they can supply car seats.
Away We Go
Why choose Away We Go?

3. Mears Connect – Shared Shuttle Service
Mears Connect provides a shared shuttle service from MCO to Disney World with two service options:
• Standard Service: Roundtrip rates are $39.90 per adult and $28.35 per child (ages 3-9).
• Express Service: For up to 4 passengers, the rate is $250, with an additional $55 per extra passenger.
Car Seat Information: Mears does not provide car seats, nor are they required. However, if a passenger vehicle is used instead of a motor coach, it’s the responsibility of the parent/guardian to ensure safety for children under age 5. Mears Connect does not guarantee the type of vehicle provided for your service, so you may want to bring a car seat just in case.
