Mears Connect vs Uber vs a private van from MCO to Disney: cost per person
Shuttles charge per seat and rideshares charge per car, so both get expensive as your group grows. Here is what adults pay one way from MCO to a Disney resort.
| Riders | Mears Connect Standard, shared | Uber or Lyft | JOB vehicle, flat price | JOB per person |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 riders | About $37 | 1 UberX, $35 to $70 | Minivan, $99 | $49.50 |
| 4 riders | About $75 | 1 UberX or UberXL, $35 to $100+ | Minivan, $99 | $24.75 |
| 6 riders | About $112 | 1 UberXL, $55 to $100+ | Minivan, $99 | $16.50 |
| 8 riders | About $149 | 2 cars, about $90 to $170+ | 12-passenger van, $159 | $19.88 |
| 10 riders | About $187 | 2 UberXLs, about $110 to $200+ | 12-passenger van, $159 | $15.90 |
| 12 riders | About $224 | 2 UberXLs, about $110 to $200+ | 12-passenger van, $159 | $13.25 |
| 14 riders | About $261 | 3 cars, about $145 to $270+ | 14-passenger van, $179 | $12.79 |
Mears totals use the official $17.60 adult fare plus the 6% fuel surcharge, about $18.66 each. Children 3 to 9 pay $14.30 plus the surcharge, and children under 3 ride free. Uber and Lyft ranges are third-party estimates and can reach $120 to $180+ per car with surge pricing. Checked October 2026.
Mears Connect Express, the direct option, is round trip only: $250 for up to 4 people plus $55 for each extra person, plus the surcharge. For 10 people that comes to about $615 round trip. Two one-way JOB rides in a 12-passenger van come to $318 before any round-trip saving.
Step by step for your group size: MCO to Disney with a group of 4 to 14.
Disney transportation from the airport: every option compared
Disney airport transportation is no longer free. The Magical Express ended in January 2022, and Disney says airport transportation is not included with a resort stay.
| Option | Typical one-way cost | Seats | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| JOB minivan, SUV or van | From $99 per vehicle | 6, 12 or 14 | Meet inside the terminal, car seats, grocery stop |
| Mears Connect Standard, shared | $17.60 per adult plus 6% fuel surcharge | Shared coach | Stops at several resorts; 30 to 60 minutes |
| Uber or Lyft | UberX $35 to $70, UberXL $55 to $100+ per car | 4 (UberX), 6 (UberXL) | Arrivals-curb pickup; car seat rides cost extra |
| Taxi | $52 to $68 to the Disney resorts area (MCO estimate) | 3 to 4 (larger cabs up to 9) | Taxi line at the terminal; call ahead for a car seat |
| Disney Minnie Van | Set by Disney; check its site | Up to 6 | Deluxe, Deluxe Villa and Club Level guests only; up to 2 car seats |
| LYNX Link 311 bus | $2 per person | Public bus | Terminal A only; about 1 hour to Disney Springs, then a Disney bus |
| Rental car | About $350 to $400 a week, economy | 5 to 7 | Gas, tolls, parking and car seats cost extra |
- 1 or 2 adults on a budget: Mears Connect or the LYNX bus.
- 3 to 6 people, or kids in car seats: a private minivan or SUV from $99, in the same range as an UberXL, with car seats on request.
- 7 to 14 people: one 12- or 14-passenger van at one price.
The closest thing to the old Disney shuttle is Mears Connect: read our Mears Connect guide. Once you arrive, here is how Disney transportation works. Staying off-site? See hotels near Disney World with a shuttle.
What's the best way to get a group of 7 to 14 to Disney?
One private van. An UberXL seats up to 6, and Disney's Minnie Van fits up to 6 and serves only Deluxe-level guests. A family reunion of 11 would need at least two cars, two fares with their own surge pricing, and a plan to find each other at the resort.
Our 12- and 14-passenger Ford Transit vans keep everyone together, with one driver, one meeting point inside the terminal and one flat price. A full 14-passenger van at $179 works out to $12.79 each, less than a Mears Connect adult seat. At full load the 12-passenger van fits your luggage and the 14-passenger van fits your luggage (we confirm the fit when you book).

How pickup works at Orlando International Airport
Your driver meets you inside the terminal with a name sign and walks you to the vehicle.
- 1
Share your flight number when you book.
- 2
Collect your bags. In Terminals A and B, baggage claim is on Level 2. In Terminal C, baggage claim and the Meet & Greet Area are on Level 6.
- 3
Meet your driver, name sign in hand.
- 4
Buckle in with any car seats you asked for, and head for your Disney resort.
Groceries and car seats on the way to Disney
MCO suggests allowing about 20 minutes after landing to reach the curb, or 40 with checked bags; your driver is already inside. More tips in our MCO Terminal C pickup guide.
A grocery stop on the way
Ask for a grocery stop when you book, and your driver will stop at a store on the route so you arrive with water, breakfast, snacks, diapers and sunscreen (arranged when you book). One stop on the way saves a separate taxi or a delivery order after you check in.
Car seats for the ride to Disney
Tell us each child's age and weight when you book, and we'll bring the right seat: we carry seats and boosters for each child's age and size, and they are priced when you book.
Our standard follows NHTSA guidance: children ride in the back seat at least through age 12, stay rear-facing as long as possible, and use a booster until the seat belt fits. Florida's child restraint statute, Fla. Stat. 316.613, sets rules for children 5 and younger. This is general information, not legal advice.
How long is the drive from MCO to each Disney resort area?
Most Walt Disney World resorts are 18 to 25 road miles from MCO, about 25 to 45 minutes without stops. Disney Springs and Lake Buena Vista hotels are closest; the Magic Kingdom-area resorts and Animal Kingdom Lodge are farthest.
| Resort area | Example resorts | Miles from MCO | Typical drive, no stops |
|---|---|---|---|
| Disney Springs and Lake Buena Vista | Disney Springs-area hotels | 18 to 19 | About 25 to 40 minutes |
| EPCOT area | BoardWalk, Yacht and Beach Club, Swan and Dolphin | About 21 | About 30 to 40 minutes |
| Moderate resorts | Caribbean Beach, Port Orleans, Coronado Springs | 20 to 23 | About 30 to 40 minutes |
| Value resorts | Pop Century, Art of Animation, All-Star resorts | 21 to 23 | About 35 to 45 minutes |
| Animal Kingdom area | Animal Kingdom Lodge | About 24 | About 35 to 45 minutes |
| Magic Kingdom area | Contemporary, Grand Floridian, Polynesian, Wilderness Lodge, Fort Wilderness | 23 to 25 | About 35 to 45 minutes |

Going home: Disney World to Orlando Airport
Reserve your return when you book your arrival and save a step. MCO recommends reaching security 2 hours before departure, so with a 25 to 45 minute drive plus bag drop, plan to leave your resort about 3 hours before a domestic flight.
