Shuttles other than Magical Express?

[slug]

Are there other shuttles from the airport to WDW other than Magical Express?

Why would you want to pay for something that you can get for free? I could understand paying for a different type of service... but if you're looking for a shuttle, there's nothing better, and certainly nothing cheaper.

There are car services and taxis, but no other shuttles. Why do you ask?

I know that Mears will not drop off at the WDW resorts, except those not serviced by ME, like the Swan and Dolphin and I would suppose Shades of Green.

Mears will drop you off at a Disney resort if you go to any counter other than where DME is located. I've seen it happen to some guests.

There's also the Beeline Shuttle.

How much does it cost to take Mears shuttle to Saratoga Springs? My son and I staying for a few days in June. My parents are flying into Orlando the same day and then my aunt is going to come and pick them up later in the day. I was thinking they could join us for part of the day at SSR. I would just add them to the reservation and they take Magic Express except we are doing Dining plan. Any thoughts?

If they are coming just for the day, (will they have luggage?) they could take Mears over to Swan/Dolphin and spend the day with you.

Agree.

Good question. I should have explained. I'm actually renting a car. My brother in law is flying in by himself for a couple of days. He wants to get to the resort as quick as possible as we have dinner reservations. I've heard ME can take over an hour. He'll only have a carry-on so he was hoping he could just get off the plane, and hop into a shuttle. He's not going to want to wait at the ME station and then wait for a bus. If there are no other shuttles, he'll probably take a taxi.

Just for some addtl insight.....the only time it has taken me less than an hour to get to my resort was when I had carryon bags only, and I used a towncar. It took me about 50 mins, only 20 mins less than using DME. And it cost me over $100. In your case it would only be about $40 but there is still cost. It will take about 10 -15 mins to get from the plane to ground transportation area, then 30 mins to the resort.
If your friend wishes to take a cab, that's cool. But it won't take less than 45 mins...at best, and probably a bit more time. Just wanted to give you my experience for comparison.
