Mears Connect Adds Fuel Surcharge for Disney World Airport Transportation
Getting to the magic just got a tiny bit pricier. Guests traveling between Orlando International Airport and Walt Disney World using Mears Connect will now see a new fuel surcharge added to their reservations, effective immediately.

Mears Connect, which became a go-to option after Disney’s Magical Express waved its final goodbye in 2022, is introducing a 3% fuel surcharge across all bookings. The change comes as fuel costs continue to climb, with the company noting it will apply “until further notice.” While Mears has long promoted no surge pricing compared to rideshare options, this move shows even the mouse’s motorcoaches are feeling the heat at the pump.
Here’s how it breaks down for your wallet: Standard roundtrip service remains $32 per adult and $26 per child, with the new surcharge adding roughly an extra dollar per adult ticket. If you are rolling VIP-style with Express Service, which starts at $250 roundtrip for up to five guests, the surcharge bumps that up by about $7 or more. Not exactly a budget-busting villain, but enough to make your churro fund give a cautious side-eye.

For now, Mears Connect continues to offer both Standard shared rides and Express direct service to Disney Resort hotels, giving guests flexibility depending on budget and time. Just be sure to factor in that small extra cost when planning your next magical arrival, because even fairy tales apparently come with a fuel fee these days.
