There are now 6 adults whereas before they were only just in their teens, so I am wondering how much money is needed for 18 nights
We are staying in a villa most of it.

6 adults in a villa for 18 nights is going to be costly! But fun too

About $4k for expenses should do it ( meals out, car parking etc)

Just scroll down to the last time you went and then make your way back up to the top of the page to see what has opened and closed.

Do you find uber cheaper than mears for the airport transfers? Never tried mears. I think last time we paid around $60 in uber.

I'm also returning after 3 years of not being able to go due to university commitments!
Looking forward to the new rides at universal/IOA (fast & furious, jimmy fallon, harry potter) and the new toy story land and star wars at HS.
I know disney springs has a few new restaurants/food places too which I'm looking forward to trying.
Can't wait now ahh.

Went we went last Disney Springs was Downtown Disney, I expect lots has changed.

We usually get an xl uber from i drive and its between $30 - 40 between 3 of us with plenty of room for our luggage and 3 adults - we have never had an issue with getting an uber (used them last 4 times)

If we are staying on site then we obv use the magical express but if we are staying off site on i drive then we get the lynx from airport to i drive - its 1 bus takes about 45-50 mins depending where on i drive you are staying and costs like $2 per person

Is it easy to get the Lynx bus from the airport? Was also thinking about getting an Uber but for £2pp I might rethink 🤔🤔 we staying at Pointe.

I would say the exchange rate is what you'll notice the most. Your sterling don't get you much in way of dollar's at present time. ☹

Prices have definitely gone up as others have said, made worse by the poor exchange rate. Disney springs has changed a lot over the past few years if you go there. Seaworld is quieter these days id say. They’ve also opened Sesame Street over there now. I drive remains very similar in my opinion.
