Uber or ME on arrival?

I'm completely torn on this and hoping for some advice, please.

We're flying Virgin on the 1pm ish flight (was the earlier flight but we were bumped). By the time we arrive it will be later than originally planned and we want to get to our hotel and back to the parks ASAP.

I know that ME is free and that there'll be something, well, magical about getting on a Disney bus to take us to Disney...BUT...I also want to get to the park as soon as possible! I don't want to have to wait 40 mins for the bus to leave and then have it drop everyone else off first, I just know I'll be impatient to arrive.

So, has anyone got an Uber or other car from MCO? How much was it and did you find it easier?

Thanks!

Our last trips were $41 ex MCO to HRH & $35 for the return journey in May this year. Really easy pick up, waited no more than 5 mins. Going back at the end of next month & will use Uber ex MCO again.

We’ve done ME previously and whilst it’s free & quite handy ultimately it’s a bus, not really that magical & did take a while to get us to our hotel although we might have been unlucky.

Whatever you decide have a great time.

Have a look at the Uber fare estimator on the link below, hopefully it will work.

I would definitely Uber. But then I've never really understood the appeal of the ME.

That. Is. SO HELPFUL! Thank you!

I really should have thought to do that myself 🙄. It’s actually pretty reasonable so I think we’re definitely leaning toward this.

That’s sort of where I am now to be honest.

Used both & no issue with either, I might be wrong in saying this but I’m quite sure a lot of drivers work for both simultaneously.
