Nice yes i have been contimplating the HOW to get to our resort(POP) Mears no matter how i look at it is $100 return cant imagine a taxi and or uber etc being MORE? or even slightly more but without the hassle of stops and drops etc. HOWEVER, this ride is like $65 return. hey thats an extra $35 in our pocket. Sounds like a darn good deal just nervous on the actual 4 hours before your international flight part (if true) wee hoo i will book them. 6 months away from vacation hopefully they DONT FOLD before we go and i lose that money. Because really anything can happen between now and then. lol BUT hey as an option on the table FOR sure.Sunshine Flyer is running a special for the summer. If you book before the end of July, adults are $16 and kids are free. Your trip can be anytime after the end of July, but you have to book it by then. Sounds like a great deal to me. Let's see if Mears counters it with a special of their own.
You should go onto Trip Advisor and read some of the recent Mears reviews. It's pretty bad.Now that Sunshine Flyer has been providing shuttle service for while and maybe has worked out the kinks, which has proven to be the better service ??

It's a bit of a hike. Coming off the shuttle from the SW gates you head to the right, and go down one level to get your bags. Back up one level and across the main floor to Terminal B. Down 2 levels to get to either Sunshine Flyer or Mears Connect, which are both on level 1.We have always rented a car but the prices have been sky high lately so are considering one of these bus lines. Are they both near one another? We'll be using SW which I believe is Terminal A. How long of a walk is it to where these buses leave from Terminal B?
Thanks for the info Bill!It's a bit of a hike. Coming off the shuttle from the SW gates you head to the right, and go down one level to get your bags.

We're in the "too good to pass up" crew for Sunshine Flyer as well. We were going to do a Lyft XL with our three 8 year olds and their extra narrow boosters; now Sunshine is a better price point AND we don't have to bring boosters. I absolutely HATE installing car seats, so I wasn't even willing to consider it when my three were that young.Are either one any better for toddler? First time heading down since ME is no more. The deal on the Sunshine flyer seems really too good to pass up but if MEARS is better then let me know please. I've always hated the pick you up 4 hours early thing though even with ME but have never taken an uber with a carseat and don't really feel like trying it first time down there.
We just got back from Disney and used Mears Connect. Everything was perfect. We got the QR code the day before each way. When we got there we went right up to the bus and waited maybe 5 minutes before heading to the resort. On the way back the bus was on time. No problems at all.Now that Sunshine Flyer has been providing shuttle service for while and maybe has worked out the kinks, which has proven to be the better service ??

Mears ran Magical Express for Disney. It’s the same buses, drivers, and infrastructure. They’ve taken the Disney wraps off of the buses, of course. Otherwise, the two services are near identical, minus the fact that Sunshine Flyer doesn’t have an indoor check-in area yet. Rumor around the airport is that’s coming.Are there ANY pros at all in taking MEARS over Sunshine flyer? Do they have any advantage that makes it worth paying the premium over SF?
I loved Magical Express. Set the tone for the trip. Do you know if the still have the cheesy welcome video with the bus driver? That would almost make me spend the extra money to go MEARS over SFMears ran Magical Express for Disney. It’s the same buses, drivers, and infrastructure.

Ah yes yes, duh, not sure why I didn't think of that. I'm going to see if I can find it on youtube. It's probably one of my top 5 most nostalgic things about going to Disney.They show a video but it’s not the Disney one, of course.
