Disney World (Transportation)

Disney World Transportation has changed dramatically in the last few years.

We actually found that the easiest way to get to and from Disney Parks from our hotel was a combination of the Free Hotel Shuttle and Uber.

If you’ve ever stayed at a Disney World Resort, you’re probably already aware that they offer free transportation to and from the parks. The type of transportation varies depending on the hotel you’re staying in. It can be anything from a Bus to a Boat to a Monorail. And I must admit the Monorail is very cool and your kiddos will probably think it’s a ride depending on their age. So there’s that.

That being said, sometimes it’s 90 degrees out and you don’t feel like waiting in the scorching heat with a whining three-year-old for the Free Hotel Transportation to arrive (happened to us). Or maybe you want to go to Disney’s Animal Kingdom after hours to see the River’s of Light Show and the hotel shuttle has stopped running (also happened to us).

That’s when Uber comes into the picture.

It’s the perfect complement to the free transportation your Disney Resort provides. Like us, you most likely already have the Uber App downloaded on your phone and have used it a million times before. You just never thought of using it while on vacation in Disney World.

Well I’m reminding you to use it. Because Orlando is such a hot tourist destination there are literally Uber Drivers everywhere. They are sitting at the Parks, waiting for you. They are circling the hotels, waiting for you. They are hanging out by the airport, waiting for you. Uber is also the best way to travel to and from the airport and a lot less expensive than a private car from the hotel. We know, because we did both.
