Airport transportation options to and from Walt Disney World Resort

While we knew airport transportation options to and from Walt Disney World Resort would change in 2022, it is still shocking not to see the widely known Magical Express buses around Walt Disney property. As it can be a bit confusing or overwhelming to know what options are available. I figured I could explain some of the most popular options that we at MousePros Travel Agency recommend using. So, strap in and join me on this ride. Walt Disney World Private Ground Transfer

(Currently unavailable as of June 14, 2022)

The first option is a little confusing – at least at first glance – because private ground transportation is being offered again by Walt Disney World Resort! Yes, Walt Disney World is offering private transportation booked directly through them. This new option is now available to add to travel packages. There will be several different vehicles available to choose from including sedans, SUVs, stretch limousines, exclusive vans, and executive limousines. Guests will meet their driver at the baggage claim area where they will be assisted with their luggage. One complimentary car seat will be available for children 5 years of age and under. If more than one car seat is needed, guests can request them for an additional cost. These services will be operating for flights arriving at all hours.
