Silly question, but is the $16 round trip for Sunshine or each way?
Each waySilly question, but is the $16 round trip for Sunshine or each way?
Can someone help me on picking times for Sunshine Flyer? They make you pick the times and it’s confusing. It says pick the time your flight arrives. I’m supposed to arrive at 10:11am. And for the pick up, do I pick the time three hours before my flight or when my plane is supposed to leave? Confused. Thanks!
You will choose the 10-11 a.m. bus. The website says:
Please select the hour in which your flight arrives
Your exact bus departure time will be based on your hour of arrival and your flight information. After you collect your bags at Baggage Claim, please proceed directly to the Sunshine Flyer location in Terminal B, Level 1. We will be waiting to direct you to your bus. Please select the hour in which your plane Arrives/Departs from MCO. Your bus transfer time will be emailed to your prior to your dates.
For the return trip, pick the time your flight leaves. In the FAQ, it says:
The day before you check out, you’ll receive a confirmation email advising you of the motorcoach departure time, which will be approximately 3-3.5 hours prior to your scheduled departure time for domestic flights and 4 hours prior to your scheduled departure time for international flights.
So if my flight leaves at 3:45pm, I should pick 3:00pm? Thank you!
Yep. In the drop down arrow, it says: Please select the hour in which your flight departs Orlando International Airport.
Some people might go close to 4 p.m. if they don't want to risk a super early pickup. It's up your personal risk tolerance.
Yes, pick 10:00 AM.Thank you. This has been super helpful. So if my flight is supposed to land at 10:11am, would you pick the 10:00am? Again, I appreciate it. Never used this before.
Yes, pick 10:00 AM.
PS I answered your other post too.
correction, unless you BOOK in the next few weeks pricing will go up.... our trip isn't til January 2023, I booked Sunshine Flyer yesterday and secured the kids travel free promotion, it states in the promotion your trip can fall after July 31st you just have to book by thenSo unless you are traveling in the next 5 weeks pricing will be going up.
Per their website, the earliest flights Sunshine services are 7am departures.Has anyone used Sunshine Flyer for an early 5:00am pickup to the airport?
You can schedule an Uber or a Lyft the day before.What are your opinions also about Mears Connect for that same transfer to the airport? I really don’t want to have to scramble for transportation if the bus doesn’t show that early in the morning.
We've used FL Tours in the past as well with NON Disney trips and they are great! But man, when you compare their prices to Sunshine & Mears...OUCH! I don't recall them being this expensive in the past. BUT, I'm leaning toward using them again in December, just because I know their service is top notch! Haven't quite decided yet.I compared Sunshine & FL Tours, we chose FL Tours, our own car, driver meets you at baggage, grocery stop on the way to the Disney Hotel, & total cost for 2 people in SUV was $195 (tip not included, so add tip for each driver round trip).. I REALLY miss the Disney Magical Express.. But we used FL Tours on a prior Universal Trip & they were great & stopped at Publix on the way there.
