It is about an hour away from Disney. I don't know of a shuttle, we rented a car.
It is smaller which is nice.
The only problem we had was coming home. We had an 8am flight. We thought we had left enough time to get checked in and through security etc, but when we got there they had about 4 flights or so all leaving within a short time of each other and only 2 agents on. So consequently we barely made our flight. When we asked would they hold the plane since so many people were not throught she said that was up to the pilot, but he didn't have to, we should have been there earlier.
