Guests should book a service such as Mears (shared or express), rideshare (Uber\/Lyft), a private car\/limo, or a taxi.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Where do I meet my shuttle or driver at MCO?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Follow airport signs to Baggage Claim, then to Ground Transportation on Level 1 of the Main Terminal. Look for the shuttle check-in area (Mears Connect) or the rideshare\/taxi zones indicated in the app or airport signage. If you arrive at Terminal C, follow the posted directions to Ground Transportation and your booked pickup point.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>How much does transportation cost from MCO to Disney\/SoG?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Expect shared shuttle pricing per person, rideshare pricing that varies by time and vehicle size, and higher flat or hourly rates for private car\/limo. Taxis are typically metered or zone-based. Check your provider for current rates and any airport\/resort fees.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What\u2019s customary tipping for airport transfers?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>For rideshare, taxi, and private car\/limo, 15\u201320% is standard for good service. For shared shuttles, $1\u20132 per person (or $2\u20133 per bag if handled by a porter\/driver) is typical.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Can I make a grocery stop on the way to my resort?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Usually yes with rideshare or private car\/limo (often a 15\u201330 minute stop). Most shared shuttles don\u2019t include grocery stops. Confirm timing, any added fee, and the store location when booking.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Where will I be dropped off\/picked up at my resort?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Generally, at the resort\u2019s front drive or designated shuttle zone. At Shades of Green, use the main front entrance drive unless your provider instructs otherwise.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>When should I schedule my return pickup for my flight home?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>For domestic flights from MCO: plan pickup about 2.5\u20133 hours before departure (add buffer for traffic, mobility needs, or rental car return). For international flights: 3\u20134 hours is safer. Shared shuttles may assign a pickup time; private rides give you flexibility.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Is Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB) a good option?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>It can be if the airfare is compelling and you\u2019re comfortable with a longer ride and fewer dedicated services to Disney-area resorts.
