Mears standard or express

Is it worth it to pay 25.00 more for express bus service to hotel? Thank you!

For us, no. We normally wait approx. 20-30 mins to depart MCO. To us, that's reasonable. I will say we stay at Pop which means we're normally the first or second guest drop.

As with all 'worth it' questions though, only you truly know what will work best for your family.

If it’s only $25 more for your family, I think that would be worth it. I’m usually solo, so I can’t really justify the cost.

Thank you. We are POR.

Honestly, if the cost difference is that low, I’d just go with a private car service. Many of them are priced comparably to Mears Connect’s Express service. The driver will meet you at baggage claim, escort you and your bags to your private vehicle, and take you directly to your resort. It’s much more comfortable and efficient. No waiting at all.

100 for three adults round trip (daughter is 13 so is adult) on the bus standard. How much is car service?

That’s very close to the cost of a Lyft, for what it’s worth

I meant that it was closer to the price of their Express product, which is $250 round trip for up to 4 people.
Car services range anywhere from about $180-300 r/t.

Also, all Express means with Mears is that you’re the first drop off and last pickup, guaranteed.

P/P, I'd say No way.... That would be an extra $125 which I can't justify...If I were alone possibly, because it would then equal the amount I usually pay for an UBER.... Just my $.02

For 3 people I’d be inclined to go with UberX.

Either that or splurge for a pre-booked private car.

It is 25.00 total for express, not PP. so 100.00 round trip or 125.00 round trip

If we're getting nostalgic, I still miss the Magical Express!

In that case, I’d do it!

The extra $25 could be worth saving time and energy round trip. But if your family might enjoy seeing the front of some other resorts in person, then going non-express might add some fun and save $25.

No, it’s not. Express is $250 round trip for up to 4 people; you’re misreading the website.

Thank you. I was wondering if I might have misread and was just going back to the website. I guess we will stick with the standard !

Hmm, So regardless of how many people you have it's only $25 more? Or am I just reading it wrong. I haven't Looked into pricing since ME disappeared many a moons ago.. I've beeen lucky I guess to get an Uber discount usually around the time that I've been going.. And its always been for 4 of us. Now we have 5 so that changes the dynamics a bit...

I read it wrong- see above post.

See my above post - Express is $250 r/t for up to 4 people, and all it really means is that you’re the first stop dropped off and the last picked up.

Wow, ok ty for that info. Didn't know it was that pricey... So for me this would be a hard pass...Only because we're able to usually get an Uber for about $50 each way. Not saying it wouldn't be nice to stretch out and relax with much more room ,but the $125 I'd be saving would be enough for a nice meal out...
