Airport transportation to resort

[orca333]

Hi Everyone,

I've been a lurker for years on this board and thank everyone for great tips! Here's my problem that I need help with. I'm traveling with my DH and a friend (this is her first time to the World). My DH and I are staying at AKL but my friend is not. We will be flying in together to MCO and then over to MK. Magical express won't let her ride with us, so it seems we need a shuttle or cab. Has anyone used a low-cost shuttle or taxi that they can recommend? Or any other idea to get her to the hotel with us or MK?

Thanks in advance!

She can pay to ride on the ME bus; I remember someone saying there is a MEARS counter right near ME. She can pay for the ride; I cannot remember how much it was though.

It does work out that way sometimes, but other times, it won't. You can book a one way ride with Mears for about $19. They may put you on the DME bus..or they may make you board the Mears shuttle. But, either way, you will get to your destination. R/T with Mears is about $32..roundabout. That would be your best bet.
Or to add your friend to your reservation at AKL..if you didn't book a package.

Welcome to the DIS, Orca!

I'm going to move this over to our transporation board for you. The folks over there may have more suggestions for you.

You could all take a taxi or town car and be together for the ride over. Would be a few extra dollars, but you won't be split up and will arrive at the same time.
