But you also have to think about how you will get to Disney World, especially if you are flying. Since Disney’s Magical Express ended service in January 2022, we’ve seen 2 major companies take over that role, transporting guests to and from the Orlando International Airport and their Disney World hotels (for a fee). Those main services are Mears Connect and The Sunshine Flyer. Now, there will be a new way to arrive at your resort.

In July, Mears Connect and the Sunshine Flyer announced that they agreed to MERGE their services into ONE combined service that’ll get guests from the Orlando International Airport to Disney World’s hotels.

That service begins TODAY, August 1st. The new service is named Mears Connect Driven by Sunshine. It will provide guests with transportation to and from the airport and the eligible hotels and offers guaranteed 24/7 service.
