Orlando Monorail Resorts: Contemporary, Polynesian & Grand Floridian

Three Walt Disney World resorts sit right on the monorail line that circles Magic Kingdom: Disney's Contemporary Resort, Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, and Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa.

MCO to Animal Kingdom Lodge: Skip the 90-Minute Orlando Bus Ride

MCO to Animal Kingdom Lodge: Skip the 90-Minute Orlando Bus Ride

A private car covers Orlando International Airport to Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge in about 30 to 40 minutes. A shared airport bus can turn that same trip into a much longer afternoon once you count the wait to depart and the stops at other resorts along the way. Animal Kingdom sits on the far southwest side of the property, so those extra stops add up fast. If you would rather go straight there, ...

The $200 Grocery Run: How One Stop Pays for Your Orlando Airport Transfer

One grocery stop on the way from Orlando International Airport to your resort can offset most of what you pay for the ride.

Getting from Orlando Airport to Your Hotel: A Complete Guide

Getting from Orlando International Airport to your hotel comes down to five real choices: rideshare, a taxi, a shared shuttle, a rental car, or a private car service. Each one trades money for time or convenience in a different way. If your hotel sits along International Drive, a rideshare looks cheap until a convention lets out and the price doubles. Before you gamble on that, reach out to our team to get s...

Landing at MCO? Your Complete Guide to Orlando Airport Transportation

When you land at Orlando International Airport, your ride options are rideshare, a taxi, a shared shuttle, a rental car, or a private car waiting for you. Terminal C, the newest side of the airport, has its own rideshare and pickup areas that differ from the older Terminals A and B, which trips up a lot of first timers. Knowing your plan before you land saves the scramble. To set one up, ...

MCO to Disney: How Much Does a Taxi Cost & Is It Worth It?

MCO to Disney: How Much Does a Taxi Cost & Is It Worth It?

A taxi from Orlando International Airport to the Walt Disney World area usually runs about $70 to $105 one way, before tip. The meter keeps ticking when I-4 slows down near Lake Buena Vista, so the number you see quoted online is rarely the number you pay. Is it worth it? That depends on how many people you are moving and how you feel about a fare that changes with traffic. If you want a price locked in before you ever board a plane,...
