How to get to All‑Star Music from Orlando International Airport (MCO)
From Orlando International Airport (MCO) you can reach Disney's All‑Star Music Resort by car, taxi or rideshare in about 30–40 minutes depending on traffic. If you prefer private Disney options once on property, Minnie Vans (Disney's Lyft-partner service) can be used for on‑property trips but cannot pick up at MCO; rideshare or taxi drivers will drop you at the resort entrance near Melody Hall.

Rideshare, taxi and airport pickup tips
Rideshare drivers (Uber/Lyft) and taxis can pick up at MCO’s designated ground transportation areas. Confirm the pickup level and cell phone number or app details with your driver; give the driver the resort address (1801 W Buena Vista Dr, Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830) or ask to be dropped at Melody Hall.
If you use a taxi or rideshare, ask the driver to stop at the main entrance so you can unload luggage near Melody Hall. Minnie Vans cannot perform airport pickups — they work only within Walt Disney World property.
- Provide driver: Disney's All‑Star Music Resort, Melody Hall, 1801 W Buena Vista Dr.
- Tell the driver you prefer to be dropped at the resort lobby (Melody Hall) for easy check‑in and luggage handling.
- If traveling early/late, confirm driver availability in the app or with the taxi dispatcher.
