Mears Connect is now live

[Nimbus]

The website for Mears Connect, the paid replacement to Disney’s Magical Express, is now accepting reservations for transfers between MCO and the Disney resorts from next year (2022).

Prices for a return trip are as follows:

Standard $32 per adult, $27 per child
Premium $200 for 4 passengers

Standard is basically transport in a shared bus similar to the old Magical Express. Premium is a private car.

You beat me to it, was coming to post this

Standard price isn't bad for 1-2 people. Bit less than I was expecting actually, although it does say introductory rate. I'll probably use it. Families better off with Uber.

It’s cheaper than I remember it costing for a shared transfer from Sanford several years ago. I think that was Ł90 for the 3 of us, whereas this is about Ł75.

Price for the premium is also similar to the price we once paid for a private town car a few years ago.

How much would an uber/lyft usually cost?
Need to balance up $$s v convenience as a solo traveller ( plus the fact I may be starting or ending my trip at Universal)🤔

They are doing $16 one way journeys, you don't have to book a return. And it's possible they may expand to cover the Universal hotels if it proves popular, you can also select different drop off and pick up locations so split stays shouldn't be an issue.

Uber is usually around twice that to Disney, but can be higher during surge periods.

Thats not too bad a price at all

Would book now but want to change our DVC hotel for the last few nights so can’t be sure where we will need picking up from

Just priced up and it’s $255 for the premium service for us (family of 5), they class children older than 9 as adults.

My email did say the price was introductory and may go up. I guess it will depend on demand.

For the Premium service, from what I saw it just said $200 for 4 passengers and then $55 for each additional passenger. It didn't matter what age the passengers were. So, for the premium service, 1 adult and 3 kids would cost the same as 4 adults. And the minimum price was $200.

Interesting to know at what age they classify "adult" passengers for the standard service. Looks like they are following the same model as the theme parks. Seems a bit cheeky.
