When I have been waiting for the Village Van I see Disney shuttles in and out continually. You could also call Disney to see what you need to do to take one of their shuttles.
If you are staying at a Disney Resort Hotel, the shuttle is free. If not, you pay.

Thanks for this information. If I wanted to get to Disney I think it would be worth playing for the shuttle. Would be interested in what it costs.

I have been using Vinny's car service for years and have always been satisfied (352-205-6606). He is always on time, reasonable, picks up/drops off at your door and will take you to any airport.

Has anyone heard of or used this company - Creative Concierge (352-233-4269)? I read about it on the Nextdoor neighborhood website. Appears to be a relatively new service. The poster stated that it was only $25 per person. If so, and reliable, sounds like a pretty good deal!

Direct ride from your home to MCO is $45 per person...no other stops or pick ups. Cal him for a price with 3 or more passengers. I have used him for pick ups 1am in the morning at MCO ...very reliable, courteous and newer SUV.

From your door to MCO with Jane Witte is $85/two. It's the same for one person. So she's better if you are going as a couple. I know they go other places as well, so call and see if she goes to ports three five two four oh six three four three three. Hope this goes through.

This is wrong. I just booked it and it is still $35

Raynan: There are a couple of good buses that do the Cruise Ports. We use Yankee trails. I think they charged us $45 per person each way. There is another one we used to use and now I cannot remember their name, but someone else probably will.

I think a private hire car would be exceptionally expensive!

The Villages Transportation does not honor their prepaid contract. I prepaid for transportation with taxi to home on the return leg. When we landed and went to the transport they told me we owed another $26 because taxi had to go across 42. My address was on the contract. The driver would not let us board until we gave $26 CASH. The "taxi" that we paid an additional now $36 rode us around for over an hour in areas outside the Villages. When I contacted the office the next day they said they had to ride us around for drop offs because THEY DON'T HAVE A TAXI. I requested a refund for the cash they took from us at the airport and she said she would call back. They did not. You will be much better off to use the other services. They will honor the quoted price.
