New Cheap Way To Get to Disney World from the Orlando Airport
Did you know you can now get to Disney World from the airport for $2? Disney vacations can be pretty draining financially. There’s the flight from Boston. The park tickets. The hotel. But there’s a new cheap way to get to Disney World from the Orlando airport. Really cheap… $2. Not a bad way to start your trip.
When it comes to doing Disney on the cheap, you’ve got to do a little research. The overspending can start the minute you land at Orlando International Airport. Here’s the new cheap way to get to Disney World from the Orlando airport.
Sure there are plenty of shuttles that’ll get you over to Mickey Mouse’s house. But the shuttles often have to make a dozen stops along the way at various hotels to drop off other riders. Then there are the ride share services like Uber and Lyft, but that can get pricy… usually $30-$40.
Many don’t know there’s a new super cheap way just added this year to get to Disney from the Orlando Airport. Just take the darn bus!
It’s a new bus route, according to WESH. LYNX, which is Orlando’s public bus system, launched the new Link 311 route in April. It runs daily from 5AM to 11PM so that should cover most travelers departure and arrival times.
How to get To Disney World from Orlando International Airport
Find the LYNX bus departures at Terminal A. The buses leave in spots 38, 39, 40 and 41. The one way fare is just $2 per person. It’ll drop you off at Disney Springs (formerly Downtown Disney). From there, you’ll find free Disney transportation to just about any Disney World resort or park.
OK it’s cheap, but how long does it take?
The reporter who did the story for WESH said the ride on LYNX from the airport to Disney Springs took about one hour. That’s a shorter ride time than the shuttles my friends took who visited last month. They paid about $20 and the ride from Orlando International Airport to the Animal Kingdom lodge we were staying at took them about 90 minutes. There are seven stops along the way, including the Florida Mall and the convention center on International Drive.
