So, you’ve finally booked the big one. Walt Disney World in Orlando is the holiday millions of UK families dream about, and there’s nothing quite like the moment those castle spires come into view. But before the magic begins, there’s the small matter of actually getting to your departure airport on time, stress-free, and without paying a fortune in airport parking.
That’s where a proper airport transfer comes in. As a UK-wide airport transfer company, we’ve taken countless Disney-bound families to their flights, and we know exactly how to make the first leg of your journey as smooth as the rest of your holiday. Here’s everything you need to know.
Why a pre-booked airport transfer beats the alternatives
Getting to the airport for a long-haul Orlando flight is a different beast to a quick weekend hop to Spain. You’ve got bigger cases, more of them, often young children in tow, and a transatlantic flight you absolutely cannot miss. Here’s why so many families choose a private transfer over the other options:
No airport parking headaches. Long-stay parking for a two-week Disney holiday can cost a small fortune, and that’s before you factor in the shuttle bus with all your luggage. A one-way transfer often works out cheaper, with none of the hassle.
Door-to-door comfort. We collect you from your front door and drop you right at the terminal. No lugging suitcases across multi-storey car parks, no waiting in the cold for a shuttle.
Space for everyone and everything. Disney holidays mean serious luggage. Our fleet includes saloon cars, MPVs and minibuses, so whether it’s a couple or a family of eight with a buggy and a car seat, we’ve got a vehicle to fit.
Peace of mind on timing. Long-haul flights mean early check-in times. We track your flight and plan your pickup so you arrive with plenty of time to spare, even if there’s traffic on the motorway.
Which UK airports fly to Orlando?
Direct flights to Orlando depart from several UK airports, and we cover transfers to all of them. The main departure points for Orlando-bound travellers include London Gatwick, London Heathrow, Manchester, and Birmingham, with seasonal options from other regional airports too.
Wherever you’re flying from, we can get you there. We provide transfers to and from Manchester, Liverpool John Lennon, London Heathrow, London Gatwick, Birmingham, Leeds Bradford, East Midlands and Newcastle airports, so your nearest Orlando departure point is almost certainly covered.
Planning your transfer: what to think about
Book early. Disney holidays are usually booked months in advance, so why leave your transfer to the last minute? Reserving early locks in your price and guarantees a vehicle the right size for your group.
Tell us about your luggage. Be honest about how many cases, buggies and car seats you’re bringing. It helps us send the right vehicle so nobody ends up sitting with a suitcase on their lap.
Factor in your flight time. Transatlantic flights to Orlando often leave in the morning or early afternoon, meaning early starts. We’ll always recommend a pickup time that gets you to the terminal with comfortable margin for check-in and security.
Don’t forget the return. After a long flight home, the last thing you want is to figure out transport at midnight. Booking your return transfer at the same time means a friendly driver will be waiting when you land, ready to take you straight home.
What it costs
Our airport transfers start from £60 for a standard saloon car and £90 for an MPV, with the final price depending on your location and the airport you’re travelling from. Given the cost of two weeks of airport parking, a private transfer is often the more sensible choice for a Disney holiday, and far more comfortable.
Start your Disney holiday the easy way
The magic of Walt Disney World should begin the moment you leave the house, not after a stressful scramble through an airport car park. Let us handle the journey to your flight so you can focus on the exciting part: the holiday of a lifetime waiting on the other side of the Atlantic.
