Does Orlando have a shuttle?

Book Your Orlando Airport Transportation We can transfer you between your hotel and top Orlando attractions, including Disney Parks & Resorts, Disney Springs, SeaWorld, Universal Studios and Busch Gardens. At just $16 each way, Orlando shuttle service is the most economical option.



Orlando does not have a single "city-wide" shuttle, but it is one of the most "shuttle-dense" cities in the world due to its theme parks. Most major hotels in the International Drive and Lake Buena Vista areas offer complimentary or low-cost shuttles to Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, and SeaWorld. Additionally, the I-Ride Trolley serves as a specialized hop-on-hop-off shuttle service for the International Drive resort area. For airport transfers in 2026, the Mears Connect Driven by Sunshine service has replaced the old Disney's Magical Express, providing paid motorcoach transport from Orlando International (MCO) to area resorts. While the Brightline high-speed train now connects MCO to Miami, travelers within Orlando still largely rely on a fragmented network of hotel shuttles, ride-shares like Uber/Lyft, and the public LYNX bus system to navigate between the dispersed tourist hubs.
