Last verified:
October 30, 2026
The short answer
Disney's free Magical Express ended in 2022. The lowest fare is the Lynx local bus ($2 to most areas, $4 to Disney resorts per the airport), but it needs connections. Mears Connect, the shared shuttle, charges $16 one-way per adult plus a 6% fuel surcharge. The airport lists taxis to Disney resorts at about $52-68. With luggage, kids or a late arrival, a Mozio private transfer from $37.62 takes you to your resort at a fixed price, with your flight tracked.

Which option is best for you?
Budget solo traveler
Best option
Public transport
Why
The Lynx bus is $2 to most areas and $4 to Disney resorts per the airport, the lowest fare, if you can handle connections with luggage.
Families with kids
Best option
Mozio private transfer
Why
Your driver meets you at arrivals and drops you at your resort: no shared coach with other stops and no stroller on a bus.
Groups or lots of luggage
Best option
Mozio private van
Why
One fixed price for the whole van, from $45.36, with room for strollers and park bags.
Business travelers
Best option
Mozio private transfer
Why
Fixed price agreed in advance and flight tracking, so a delay doesn't leave you hunting for a ride.
Late-night arrivals
Best option
Mozio private transfer
Why
Your driver tracks your flight and waits if you land late, when SunRail is not running and bus connections are thin.
First-time visitors
Best option
Public transport
Why
A shared coach at $16 per adult is the simplest low-cost option to a Disney resort; book ahead.
Yes
Uber, Lyft and other rideshare companies pick up at the arrivals curb. In Terminals A and B that is Level 2; in Terminal C it is Level 6, outside doors C48 and C50. Follow the Ride App signs after baggage claim, then use "Directions to pickup" in the app for the exact spot. Reserved UberX rides wait up to 45 minutes after landing before late fees apply. Prices are dynamic and we have no measured range for this route, so check the fare in the app before you confirm.

Public transport
Mears Connect replaced Disney's Magical Express. Fares listed by Mears are $16 one-way for ages 10 and up and $13 for ages 3-9, children under 3 ride free, and a 6% fuel surcharge applies until further notice. Mears also offers an Express service with no stops to Disney resorts, which may become shared depending on demand; no separate fare is listed on its homepage, so check at booking. Luggage space is described as plentiful. The Lynx stop is at Terminal A, Level 1, Commercial Lane spaces A38-A41. Lynx lists routes 11, 42, 51, 311, 407 and 436S at MCO, and links 56 and 300 serve Walt Disney World, so a transfer is usually needed. The airport lists $2 to most areas and $4 to Disney resorts. SunRail reaches the airport only by a bus link to the Sand Lake Road station and runs Monday to Friday, 5:30 am to 9:30 pm, so it does not help with weekend or late arrivals.
Price
Mears Connect: $16 one-way per adult, $13 ages 3-9, plus 6% fuel surcharge / Public transport: $2 (Lynx bus, most areas) / $4 to Disney resorts
Typical time
Mears Connect: Varies; shared coaches can stop at several resorts / Public transport: Often 1.5 hours or more with connections (estimate)
Rental car
If you only stay in Disney resorts and visit the parks, you can use Disney transportation and skip the car. A rental makes sense for trips to other attractions, Kissimmee or the coast. Ask the rental company about its toll program before you leave the airport.
Price
Varies by company
Typical time
20-35 min off-peak, 45-60 min in heavy traffic (estimate)

- Shared shuttles can make several resort stops before yours. If you are traveling with young kids, count that into your time.
- Mears Connect has a reception desk on Level 1 of Terminals B and C for walk-up bookings, but booking in advance is recommended.
- Lynx buses leave from Terminal A, Level 1, Commercial Lane spaces A38-A41. Most trips to Disney need a connection, so check your schedule before you go.
- Landing late? SunRail runs Monday to Friday, 5:30 am to 9:30 pm, so a late-night or weekend arrival needs a car, shuttle or bus.
