From $605 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Fort Lauderdale to Disney’s Contemporary Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
Tell us where in Fort Lauderdale to collect you and when. The driver plans the route to the resort, arrives ahead of the agreed time, loads the bags and drives the whole way with your party only. One stop on the way, up to 30 minutes, is included when you add it to the booking.
Disney’s Contemporary Resort is one of the flagship hotels of the Walt Disney World area, instantly recognizable by its tall A-frame tower. The monorail glides right through the center of that tower, threading the open atrium so guests can watch it pass from inside the building. It is a contemporary property built around simple access to the parks, and it has long been a favorite for families who desire to plan their days around the shortest possible walk to the attractions.
The resort sits on the shore of Bay Lake, giving it a calm waterfront setting on one side and a straight line to Magic Kingdom on the other. That short walk over to Magic Kingdom is one of the main reasons travelers pick it: park mornings start without a long transfer, and the lakeside paths and monorail connect the rest of the area. The lake position also means many rooms look out over open water.
Inside, you locate contemporary rooms and on-site dining, so meals and rest are handled without leaving the property. When your ride arrives, the chauffeur brings you to the resort’s main entrance and sets your group down where the lobby and check-in begin, luggage included. Room layouts and current rates are published on the official Disney’s Contemporary Resort page if you desire to compare options before you journey. Our part of the trip ends at that entrance — we are the ground transfer that carries you from your Fort Lauderdale door to the resort, and the resort takes over from there.
Your driver comes to the Fort Lauderdale address you offer us — a hotel, a home, or any street address in South Florida — at the hour you set. There is no airport counter, no port, and no flight to meet. The same vehicle that collects you carries your whole group the whole way, so nobody changes cars along the route. Your bags are loaded for you and ride in the vehicle, and the chauffeur handles the navigation and the tolls while you settle in.
Plan on roughly 3.5 to 3.6 hours from door to door, a little more on the busiest holiday dates and park-event weekends. The vehicle is held for your party alone, so the pace follows your group rather than a schedule of other riders. At the end, the driver pulls up to the Contemporary Resort’s main entrance and unloads your luggage there. For the trip home, the same arrangement runs in reverse from the resort door.

Loved it — so much better than driving it ourselves. There was plenty of room for the whole group and all our luggage in one van to Disney’s Contemporary Resort.
Our extended family rode together from Fort Lauderdale straight to Disney’s Contemporary Resort, and it set the tone for the trip. We were on the road exactly when planned, no last-second changes. The driver was bilingual, which made sorting out the details simple.
My partner and I booked a private transfer from our hotel in Fort Lauderdale up to Disney’s Contemporary Resort so we could just relax on the way up. The drive from Fort Lauderdale to Disney’s Contemporary Resort was calm and comfortable, and we weren’t tired at all.
First time doing the run from Fort Lauderdale to Disney’s Contemporary Resort alone, and having a private driver made the whole day easy. Getting to Disney’s Contemporary Resort door to door meant I could check in and head straight to the pool. The driver loaded every suitcase so I didn’t have to carry anything down.
