Orlando has been a car rental mecca for 25 years or more, even with the shuttle service. There are about 2.5 million residents of the greater Orlando area. The theme park traffic has been a mess forever in the general 192 / 1-4 / Beachline Expressway zone. Even before the I-4 Ultimate project, Orlando was known for having drivers make the 4 lane cross highway move to hit an exit. This kind of decision will have virtually no impact on the local area other than not seeing the Disney themed buses on SR 417. Though to your point, Local leaders (Orange County, City of Orlando, Kissimmee, Expressway Authority, FDOT, Regional Planning Council, etc) do have a solid working relationship and often partner on things. Mears has been an institution here for decades, and built its business well before partnering with Disney. Many other businesses have complained that Mears has had a monopoly on the local market and especially the airport.
