From $605 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Fort Lauderdale to Disney’s Wilderness Lodge in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
The driver comes to your hotel, home or address in Fort Lauderdale at the agreed time, loads the bags and heads north with only your party on board. There is no counter, no shared van and no waiting for other passengers: the vehicle is yours from the door to the resort entrance. A courtesy wait of 15 minutes is included at the pickup.
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is one of the resort hotels within the Walt Disney World region, sitting in Lake Buena Vista on the Orlando side of I-4. It is the destination our chauffeurs aim for at the end of the northbound run up from South Florida, reached by joining I-4 for the Orlando approach — the same direct corridor that carries so numerous families toward the parks. For a group traveling up from Fort Lauderdale, it is the fixed point the whole trip is built around, and the address we hold your vehicle for.
Your ride does not stop at some distant lot. The chauffeur brings the car all the way to the Disney’s Wilderness Lodge entrance and pulls in at the lobby drive, where your bags are carried across rather than left for you to wrestle. After roughly three and a half hours on the road, the group steps out right at the door, rested and ready, with nothing left to arrange and no second leg to sort out on arrival.
Because the lodge sits close to the parks, plenty of travelers utilize it as their base for early starts, timing the pickup back from Fort Lauderdale so they reach the resort before rope drop. Tell us the arrival you are chasing and the departure is calculated against the drive, so the Orlando region comes into view with time to spare rather than a check-in clock racing you at the far end.
It begins at whatever Fort Lauderdale address you name — a house, a hotel, a private residence — with the car waiting at the time your group agreed. One bilingual chauffeur owns the whole run, so there are no swaps and no handoffs along the way. Your luggage goes into the same vehicle you ride in, and the driver heads north on Florida’s Turnpike before joining I-4 for the Orlando approach to Disney’s Wilderness Lodge.
Door to door, the drive takes about three and a half hours — an early departure against light traffic lands near the bottom of that window, while afternoon congestion and crowded park weekends push it toward the top. Your chauffeur reads conditions as they develop and adjusts the plan, since the flat fare does not change with traffic.
