Let’s talk transportation from Orlando Airport to Disney World. You basically have two options: rideshare services like Uber or Lyft, or the Mears Connect shuttle. I’ve tried both, and I have a few pointers from my Uber experience I wasn't expecting.
For a simple, straightforward ride to my Disney hotel from the airport, I thought UberX was a fancy option. But, it's actually the most cost-effective! Despite the misleading name, UberX is the "regular" Uber everyone’s looking for.

Pre-trip cost estimates on Uber might say $38, but with surge pricing, I ended up shelling out nearly $65 for the same ride! It's tough to budget for an Uber at Disney World since prices can be unpredictable.
