Planning your travel day into Disney World’s Contemporary Resort? 

Whether you're flying in, taking the train, or driving, getting to the hotel is pretty straightforward. 

Here we take a closer look at the popular transport options.

Airports and transfers

The nearest airport to Disney’s Contemporary Resort is Orlando International Airport (MCO), which is about 20 miles away. 

By road the airport transfer typically takes 25 to 30 minutes, depending on traffic. 

Taking an Uber or Lyft, will cost around $35 to $45 for a one-way trip to the resort.

A private airport transfer would typically cost between $100 and $200 depending on the type and size of the vehicle you need.

Travelling with a coach transfer, meanwhile, may be cheaper depending upon the size of your group - with single each-way journeys priced at around $16 per person.

For those flying into Orlando Sanford International Airport, it’s a bit further at about 33 miles, with an estimated transfer time of around 45 minutes by car. An Uber from here will cost approximately $60 to $85.

By train to Orlando station

If you’re travelling by train, the nearest Amtrak station is Orlando Station, located about 20 miles from the resort. The transfer time is approximately 25 to 30 minutes by car.

A recent addition to guests’ travel options is Florida's Brightline rail service is a high-speed rail line connecting the Orlando International Airport (MCO) with other major cities in Florida, particularly Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach. 

So this may allow more flexibility if your plans see you flying into another Florida airport, or if you’re planning a split-stay trip.

There are no complimentary shuttle services from the train station to the Disney resorts, but all the usual transfer options are available.

Driving and parking

For guests driving to the resort, Disney’s Contemporary Resort is well connected and easily accessible via Interstate 4 (I-4), which connects much of Central Florida to the Disney World resort area. 

The hotel is located within the Magic Kingdom Resort area, making it a quick drive to Disney’s most popular attractions.
