Once your plane lands in Orlando, you have one more important step before your Disney vacation begins. You’ll need to arrange a way to get from the airport to your hotel! If you’re taking the MEARS Connect airport transfer to Disney World on your next trip, you might notice something has changed!

Mears Connect Bus
We talk a lot about ways to get to Orlando for your next Disney World trip, and how to properly plan out your next adventure through Orlando Airport, but if you’re considering an airport transfer service (like the MEARS Connect bus) to get you “home” safe and sound to start (or wrap up) your next vacation, there’s an important entertainment change you’ll want to look for during the ride!
If you’re flying into Orlando by way of Orlando International Airport and are looking for one of the best ways to get to your Disney World or Universal hotel, we’ve got an option in mind for you! MEARS Connect has been a tried and true transportation service for years around Orlando, offering one-way and round-trip pick-ups from the Orlando airport (with luggage) directly to your hotel.

Mears Connect
However, something about the service has changed recently, and if you’ve traveled with MEARS Connect in the past, you might notice it a bit sooner. MEARS recently took to Instagram to announce its latest entertainment changes, which have already rolled out while you’re onboard one of their comfy coach shuttle buses.

There is also a bathroom on board.
During your ride, MEARS Connect buses will now play an in-ride video as you travel to your destination. In the video, they teased some quick clips of a man who appears to be your host and narrator for most of the video against various backgrounds you’ll find for destinations in Central Florida, including a beach scene, and even what appears to be a spooky and mysterious castle! (Could it be Dark Universe?!)
It’s easy to see why MEARS is so excited to bring attention to their latest change onboard. Fans of the now-defunct Magic Express service, which used to be offered to Disney World hotel guests as round-trip airport transportation, also had a similar video that played through each leg of their trips to and from the Orlando Airport.

Mears Connect is one of the airport shuttle services available.
