Going from BoardWalk to Royal Pacific one morning then returning the next day. Would it be better to do a taxi or mears shuttle? Cost? We are looking for an early (7am) going time and a late (10pm) return time. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
I've done that exact same thing. I assume you're staying overnight at RPR. Which means you'll have some kind of overnight bag with you. The Mears shuttle doesn't allow 'luggage' on the shuttles. But, you can take a backpack! My friend and I packed toiletries and a change of clothes in our backpacks...worked great.
The shuttle is about $20 pp, r/t. A cab will be around $50+. It all depends on how many are in your group.
I believe the r/t cost, pp, for the Mears shuttle is $19.Man am I glad I found this! I was thinking for sure I'd have to pony up $30 each way in a taxi for my solo trip to US/IOA at my stay in WDW!
- Does anyone know the current shuttle rate? I imagine it isn't $18 anymore, maybe a few dollars more?
- Can you schedule pick-up for say, 7-8AM, and then return at say, 7-8PM? I read on the first page they shuttle every hour, so I'm hoping this is still true.
- I did read on one of the pages that you can pay with CC over the phone, too. If you are not comfortable doing that, can you pay cash? I imagine it will have to be exact, that's fine.

I have scheduled a very early p/u...around 7:15ish. We were able to get to RPR, get checked in, and then over to IoA for early entry. As far as running every hour, probably. You do have to schedule your return ride though. You can either schedule it when you make your reservation to ride over to US/IoA, or you can give them a call a few hours prior to the time you feel like leaving, and they will give you a time to be at the bus area.
Yes, you can pay with CC when you book online or over the phone. The drivers will not take a cc though..so, yes, cash is taken by the driver. It needs to be exact though. They sometimes have an issue making change.
We used the mears shuttle last month. It was $20 even round trip per person. I scheduled pickup at 7:30 am. We got out there right at 7:25 and the shuttle picked us up at 7:30 on the nose. We were walking up to US gates a little after 8, the fifth or sixth people in line at the queue entrance.Man am I glad I found this!
