We’re just a little over one week away from the launch of Mears Connect, one of two bus services that will replace Disney’s Magical Express when it service concludes at the end of the year. The other bus service that will replace Magical Express is the recently-announced Sunshine Flyer.
We will miss you, Magical Express!
Just ahead of its rollout, we are finally getting a first look at what one of the Mears buses will look like!
We caught a glimpse of the bus today in the parking lot for Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The bus is wrapped in a crisp, sleek white color with a colorful sea turtle “swimming” along the side.
Mears Connect
When the service launches, Mears Connect will bring guests to and from Orlando International Airport and their Disney World resort hotel, much like Disney’s Magical Express.
Mears Connect
There are some major differences, however, the biggest one being that Mears Connect is NOT complimentary. For standard service (which will bring guests aboard buses like the one pictured), it will cost $32 per adult roundtrip and $27 per child roundtrip.
Mears Connect
If you prefer a smaller transport such as a van, you can opt for Mears Connect’s Premium service, which costs $200 for up to four guests. Each guest beyond that will cost an additional $55.
