Did ground transfer prices go up?

I just tried to add ground transfers for January Wish cruise and it’s $90 per person round trip. Seems higher than I thought and crazy for a family of 5! Now I’m thinking of doing uber XL.

Currently $39 per person one way ($78 round trip) for dates through the end of 2023.

This is the first day I’ve seen it available to book for 2024 from Port Canaveral. I guess now we know why!

Well that explains that...I still have a kid in a 5 pt restraint but now a car service with car seat might be the same price (or cheaper)

I’m in the same boat! Really did not want to have to deal with car seats/boosters but now rethinking everything.

My husband will probably go, "we're paying a lot already, what's x more than what you had planned and DCL transfers to/from the resorts are easier"

DCL was just negotiating a new contract if I remember correctly, that is probably a reason for the increase.

For a family of five, the round trip difference comes out to $60. Is it really worth changing everything and dealing with car seats for $60?

Yes, $45 per leg starting in 2024.

Yeah when you run the numbers it doesn’t make too much sense. Was looking at Uber but even that for 6 people + luggage (so potentially 2 vehicles) seems only marginally more affordable when you consider the convenience and safety factor.

There are other shuttle services you don't have to use DCL. Just google it. Or do what we do and rent a car. I would never pay 450 dollars to sit on a bus for 45 minutes each way. You could probably rent a car for a week or more for that.
