From airport to Downtown Dis Hotel? (Doubletree)

[mikeymc1115]

We are arriving late on a Friday night and decided to use Hilton points to spend the night at the Doubletree on property rather than "waste" a night at one of the Resorts. What is the best way to get from the airport to the DTD hotel strip? Do any of these hotels have a shuttle service similar to Magic Express?

Other than Disney, no Disney location shuttles from MCO. It's far. The airport shuttles just go to airport location hotels.

Car service or taxi is what you will have to do. I'm not sure if Mears runs some kind of super shuttle to non Disney locations in Orlando or not. It's been years but I paid about $140 RT with a car service. One way (vs RT) coats more than 1/2.

Yes, Mears Shuttle will go to any area hotel.

Another alternative that might be worth looking into is Budget car rental. They have a locatoin at the airport and they have a location onsite at Double Tree. You would have a car available for that first night to get around in and it's most likely going to be less expensive than taxi, Mears, or some car service.

Budget also has Fastbreak which is free to sign up for and will allow you to bypass the counter at MCO.

I'm not a Budget employee, I just know this because we're using Budget from Sanford to OKW in November dropping off at Double Tree then doing the same thing on our return flight home. If you need the Double Tree Budget location code it's M03.

Good luck!!!
