Disney transportation to and from airport? Mears Connect or Uber/Lyft?

[AnnieW625]

Are people using Mears Connect or Lyft/Uber? I was ready to book Mears Connect but the recent Trip Advisor was full of recent 1 star reviews. Complaints were late busses, no busses, broken luggage wheels, not being able to find the pick up spot, and it taking too long to get too and from the airport to the resorts. The cost of Mears for the 3 of us (DH, Dd2, and myself) is $100.80 total round trip. (We are flying Delta so our terminal is B which is wear ground transportation is).

I priced out a reserve Uber to and from and is $65 for an UberX early evening pick up around 7:30 pm, and $35 for a 7 am resort pick up (and IME non reserved prices are usually a bit cheaper). I couldn’t make a reservation for a Lyft.

Thoughts (our arrival is 1/31 and our departure is 2/5)?

Mears was great when it was included in the price of your stay. I wouldn't book it now that you pay out of pocket. Uber was quick and painless. Might cost a few dollars more but worth it to me.

You don’t need to reserve an Uber or Lyft. They are plentiful 24/7.
I would not choose Mears.
I have paid $35-55 for a Lyft on our trips.

Thanks. Yes I usually never reserve an Uber/Lyft until I get to the curb but I just did it to see what the potential price would be, and it is usually $10-$15 less when I do a curb pickup. I am leaning towards the Uber/Lyft option.

We've used Quest for the Best, car service, the past few trips. Family of 4 and it's $45 each way. I've heard complaints, like you stated, about Mears. The FB group Ear for Each Other (which started during the pandemic) has several current/former cast members who've created transportation services. Quest for the Best is licensed and insured.

Ooh I will have to look them up. Thanks for rec. . The WDW Prep School Blog video I watched on YouTube had recommended Quicksilver but they were $250 RT. They also had a positive trip with Mears which made it seem easy so I was kind of surprised to find so many 1 star reviews on Trip Advisor.

PSA for anyone - Be sure to check both Lyft and Uber. Flew home from MCO the other night and to get from our airport to home varied greatly. Uber was $110, but Lyft was $34. crazy difference.

Definitely have both Uber and Lyft and compare them whenever you want to use them. Lyft is almost always the winner but you never know. Good tip!

Yes I always do check the two apps. For me Lyft is usually the winner too, but sometimes I end up with an Uber.,
