Reservation.<\/p>\n<p>During the entire time that the Magical Express has been operating, it has been Mears Transportation and their drivers that operated the buses, with Disney paint schemes.<\/p>\n<p>Mears also operates the Super Star Shuttle for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.universalorlandomilitary.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Universal Orlando Resort<\/a>\u00a0with

price.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll reserve your ride on the Mears Connect website instead of through Disney.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll still pick up your luggage (luggage service on the Magical Express was terminated during 2020) and proceed to the lower level on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/blog\/transportation\/your-guide-to-orlando-international-airport\/\">B side of the airport<\/a>. Where you will check in and wait for your ride.<\/p>\n<p>Mears states that wait time will be a max of 20 minutes. Waits are usually about that now, but could stretch much longer.<\/p>\n<p>Drivers will still stow your luggage on the bus and drive you to your resort. They may stop at 1 to 3 other resorts first, just like now.<\/p>\n<p>For the return trip the only change will be no scheduling letter your room door the day prior. Your pickup will still be about 3 hours prior to your flight&#8217;s departure though.<\/p>\n<p>One other change is that Mears has said that standard service will either be on bus or van. Vans were not used for the Magical Express. This will allow them to use smaller\/cheaper vehicles when the demand in not there. They do the same thing for Universal now.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Express_Service\"><\/span>Express Service<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Mears will also be offering Express Service, which is a dedicated vehicle for your party, direct to your Disney Resort Hotel.<\/p>\n<p>Waits for departure from the airport will be &#8220;limited to no wait time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Express Service pickup times will be 2 hours prior to your flight&#8217;s departure.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mears_Connect_Pricing\"><\/span>Mears Connect Pricing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Standard Service pricing is: $16 each way ($32 round trip) for adults, $13.50 each way ($27 round trip) for children<\/li>\n<li>Express Service pricing is $200 round-trip for up to four passengers; each additional passenger is $55<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Prices do not surge during busy periods.<\/p>\n<p>Mears has stated that these are \u201cintroductory rates\u201d so I assume they will go up in the future.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Reserve_Mears_Connect\"><\/span>How To Reserve Mears Connect<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>It&#8217;s simple, just go to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mearsconnect.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mears Connect website<\/a>, select your service level, enter your details, payment options and reserve.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Options\"><\/span>Options<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Disney-World-Rideshare.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-21977\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-21977 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Disney-World-Rideshare.jpg\" alt=\"Mears Connect Service to Disney World Replaces Mears Operated Disney Magical Express in 2022\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Disney-World-Rideshare.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Disney-World-Rideshare-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Disney-World-Rideshare-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Disney-World-Rideshare-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>With the departure of the Magical Express and a paid option replacing it, you might be searching for all options.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There are other Limo Companies in Orlando (Mears is the biggest)<\/li>\n<li>There are Taxis (many are operated by Mears)<\/li>\n<li>Minnie Van, Uber and Lyft are an option<\/li>\n<li>And you can always rent a car<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Limo Companies &#8211;<\/strong> There are numerous limo services available to take you to Walt Disney World.

These are a fleet of polka dotted (they look like Minnie\u2019s dress) SUVs and cargo vans (with the ability to carry scooters). For about 25 dollars they will take you anywhere on property. They can seat up to six guests, and car seats are on board at no additional fee. Several larger vehicles are available and can transport up to 2 wheelchair\/ECV guests.<\/p>\n<p>These are a great totally safe version of Uber and Lyft for those who may not be comfortable with those options. These are driven by Walt Disney World cast members, so totally vetted and safe (though more expensive). The ride experience is far superior to the usually silent or sullen Uber\/Lyft drivers,; cast members are friendly, knowledgable and talkative (if you want)! Plus the music played during the ride is Disney music themed on your destination.<\/p>\n<p>Minnie Vans service all locations on WDW property. The Minnie Vans can be requested via the Lyft app (keep swiping left through ride types) or by calling 407-828-3500.<\/p>\n<p>Minnie Vans operate from 6:30 am to 12:30 am and only operate on property.
