There are a lot of things to consider when planning a trip to Disney World.
You’ll need to know how much you’re willing to spend, how long you’re staying, what kind of park tickets you want to purchase, and where you want to stay. You’ll also have to figure out HOW to get to Disney World, and for many of us, the answer to that is by flying into Orlando International Airport. The airport adds new nonstop flights all the time, and now ANOTHER new nonstop flight will be added soon.
According to The Orlando Business Journal, JetBlue will be offering service to Orlando International Airport from New York’s Long Island MacArthur Airport for the first time ever. The airline will also be flying nonstop from Long Island to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and Palm Beach International Airport.
The new service to Orlando will begin on October 24th once per day, while Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach will have service four times a week. Only two other airlines fly nonstop to Orlando from the Long Island Airport: Frontier and Southwest.
In 2023, JetBlue was the sixth-biggest airline at Orlando International Airport, flying more than 5.51 million passengers.
Of course, once you get to Orlando International Airport, you’ll still have to figure out how to get to and from Disney World. You have several options available, including renting a car and taking a rideshare. Many Disney World visitors use a shared shuttle service like Mears Connect Driven by Sunshine. You’ll have to do the math and figure out which service is the most economical for your group and their needs.
While you’re at Disney World, though, you’ll have access to a variety of free transportation options to travel to and from the parks and Disney Springs, including Disney buses, the Disney Skyliner, the Monorail, and boats. Did we mention that this transportation is 100% free? We encourage everyone to take advantage of this Disney World perk.
We keep an eye out for new nonstop flights to Disney World, so be sure to check back with AllEars again soon for more.

Wonder why Disney never opened their own airport near Disney World? There would certainly be enough traffic to support such a venture. They own plenty of undeveloped land that could be allocated for such a project. Imagine flying into an airport within a few miles of Disney World?
