Does MCO offer shuttle?

Out of Town Shuttles. Out-of-town shuttles are available on Level 1 (Ground Transportation) of Terminal A (spaces A14-A15), Terminal B (spaces B14-B15), and Terminal C (space C276).



Orlando International Airport (MCO) does not operate a single "universal" shuttle, but it serves as a massive hub for various specialized shuttle services in 2026. For those heading to the Disney area, Mears Connect Driven by Sunshine is the primary paid shuttle service that replaced the old Magical Express. Many off-site hotels near the airport and in the International Drive area offer complimentary airport shuttles; these typically pick up on Level 1 of Terminals A and B. For cruise passengers, several private companies and cruise lines (like Royal Caribbean and Disney Cruise Line) operate dedicated transfers to Port Canaveral, which must be pre-booked. Additionally, MCO features a high-tech "Terminal Link" (APM) which is an automated people mover that connects the main terminal to the gates and the new Terminal C. For budget-conscious travelers, the Lynx local bus system offers a very affordable (though slower) shuttle-like service to downtown Orlando. While the airport itself doesn't provide free rides to your hotel, the "Ground Transportation" levels are extremely well-organized with clear signage to help you find whichever specific shuttle or ride-share you have arranged.
