There are quite a few options for when it comes to getting from the Orlando Airport to your Disney World hotel, but Mears Connect is one of the most popular.

Mears Connect

This airport shuttle service replaced Disney’s Magical Express, and while we’ve often found it to be a relatively affordable and convenient option for getting to Disney World hotels, there’s an update you need to know about. A fuel surcharge has been added to the cost of using Mears Connect. Here’s what we know. 

A 3% fuel surcharge is being added to all Mears Connect reservations until further notice, according to an alert at the top of the Mears Connect website.

While no official reason has been revealed, the addition of this fuel surcharge is likely due to the rising cost of gas prices in the United States, caused by the current conflict with Iran.

The 3% fuel surcharge will be added to reservations when booking on the Mears Connect website. As of now, this charge will be added for the foreseeable future, likely until gas prices come back down.
