How this works when I get to the airport? wher do I have to go? Do I have to call somebody? I Have to tip them?
All this is just when we arrive. When we leave we will have a car. thanks

You go to one of the Mears desks (located at either end of the Baggage Claim floor), check in with them. They issue you a voucher and collect payment (unless you payed in advance) and then direct you to the Mears stop, where your shuttle or bus will meet you to take you to your hotel.

As for tipping, we always do, especially if we get great service; but we are a special case as we have a wheelchair-bound DS, so we get a vehicle all to ourselves, and door-to-door service (certainly deserving of a tip). In all likelihood you will be on a van or a big bus. If you get good service (like help with bags, etc.), please do tip, while if you end up doing everything yourself (like on a reguar bus), there is not really any call for it.

Their phone # is 407 423 5566

Good luck!

Search this site for other recent threads on MEARS so you can make an informed decision as to whether it's the best way to get to your resort.
We used them the first time because I mistakenly thought they were an extension of WDW transportation system. NOT. We will never use them again.

Depending on when you get into the airport, you'll be waiting for the bus/van to fill up. They don't go half empty so depending on what time of day your flight is, you could have a lengthy wait.
Also, the price per ticket is no cheaper than other forms such as towncar.
Another biggie is that they deliver in a resort order, not a loading order, so that again can add time.
I don't know about you, but when we land we like to get into a vehicle and GET THERE. Delays are something we will pay a bit more to avoid. We've done the towncar route and this year I'm treating to a stretch limo from Happy Limo.
