While most of us still miss Disney World’s free Magical Express airport transportation service (and will never quite get over this missing perk), there is another way to get from the Orlando Airport to your Disney World hotel that’s equally convenient.
Mears Connect bus
Mears Connect has been around for a few years now, and while it’s a paid travel service (unlike Magical Express, which was free), many find that it’s easier than using a rideshare service like Uber, especially if they’re traveling with younger kids. Now, Mears Connect just announced a change that we have a feeling lots of travelers will LOVE!
Mears Connect recently announced new entertainment that would be played on the in-bus entertainment screens while you ride, but now there’s ANOTHER update — Gary Vee has partnered with Mears Connect to show VeeFriends Cartoons on every ride!
Mears Connect bus
If you’ve never heard of this show before, that’s because it’s still relatively new. It was developed by American businessman and author Gary Vaynerchuk (a.k.a. Gary Vee) in partnership with VaynerWatt and Moonbug Entertainment, and the first season launched in 2021. According to the official website, “VeeFriends is a contemporary entertainment company that combines art, storytelling, collecting, events and innovative technologies to build a community around a movement of kindness and positivity.”
Currently, this is a year-long partnership and will play the cartoon on Mears Connect buses on all routes. The partnership hopes to introduce the world to this new cartoon, as well as its cards, comics, and more.
