Transportation from Airport Hotel to Disney

[maggiew]

DH are doing a cruise this August. We are staying at an airport hotel and have hotel provided shuttle service from hotel to Port. But we are wanting to eat at California Grill one night. What would be the best (cheapest?) way to get to Disney area from the airport hotel??

I don't mind the city bus system (we are from Chicago). I am just worried about doing that AFTER viewing Wishes, so therefore a late night at California Grill.

Approximately how much would a taxi be?

The Lynx bus may work for you...here is what I found..

You would have to get from Disney U over to DTD, but it may be worth a look-see.

A cab will run about $100 r/t.

Ooops, I stand corrected. It should work very well. Here's the link of times/route/stops...

be cheaper to rent a car for a day as to take a taxi that far

Yep, it would be cheaper to rent a car, but many people just aren't all that comfortable driving in unfamiliar places.
The Lynx bus will pick up at MCO (just not sure where) and drop you at the TTC. Then, it's a nice monorail ride over to the CR. Below is what I found on the MCO site...looks very easy. Just head down to level 1, ground transportation and look for the Lynx sign.

OP: you want the 111 bus. It takes you to Downtown Disney and possibly another location onsite; check the link provided above. If you only go as far as DtD, simply walk over to the WDW buses and board the one for the Contemporary. If it ends at the TTC, even better. Just walk over to the monorail.
