Getting from Orlando Airport to Disney World shouldn’t strain your wallet.

We know Disney trips are a big expense, and each dollar saved could mean an extra snack or special souvenir. Before booking Mears Connect out of habit, let’s consider the actual cost and explore your options.

Mears Connect isn’t always the cheapest choice. It’s well-known for transporting solo travelers or couples from Orlando International Airport (MCO) to Disney hotels affordably and conveniently. The one-way cost is $17.60 per adult and $14.30 per child. A family of four pays about $63.80, which seems reasonable. But here's the catch—when you compare alternatives, like Uber or Lyft, prices aren’t as different for families.

Let’s crunch the numbers for an Uber or Lyft ride from MCO to Coronado Springs Resort:
- UberX for four costs around $52.97
- Lyft Standard-Priority is $47.99 to $52.71

While Mears Connect can save solo travelers money, rideshares might be better for families, offering direct rides and avoiding extra resort stops.

If you choose Mears, it's a shared ride and could take longer due to multiple stops. If speed is your priority after a long flight, Uber or Lyft might get you to Disney in about 30–35 minutes.

So, what's the best option?
- Solo travelers and couples usually benefit from Mears Connect's affordability.
- Families may find rideshares are comparable or cheaper in cost and more time-efficient.
- Prioritize real-time prices and your time to make the best decision.

With this breakdown, you’re ready to plan wisely and save where you can. Be sure to check live Uber and Lyft rates, as they can vary. Safe travels to the happiest place on Earth!
