How can i go from my hotel inside disney to universal studios? is there any public transportation?

Question

I am planning to go to Orlando on a vacation trip on april 2007, and i want to know the best and cheapest way to reach the attractions that are not inside disney´s limits.

Answer 1

Rent a car. Disney property is about 7 miles on the outskirts of Orlando. The only way to get anywhere else (SeaWorld, Universal, downtown Orlando, etc.) is either drive or take a taxi. You'll save money by renting a car...

Answer 2

There are many options for getting from Universal to Disney. I would suggest Bethany Transport. They are a local company and very convenient too. You can schedule to be picked up and dropped of at specific times (more convenient than a cab and you know they will be there when you requested!) Depending on the size of your party, you can get a van or regular car.

If you call, ask for Goldie!! She is super nice! Their number is 407-239-8111.

Mears is also another good company. They are the company that runs all of the Disney Transportation. (That is why you always see them on Disney property). We drive by the Mears lot in downtown Orlando and see Disney cruise line buses and other Disney transport buses in their lot. They might be a little more expensive, but worth checking out.

Answer 3

I was also going to suggest Mears. They'll take you to just about any of the Parks in the Orlando area. Beside that, take a taxi. It's quicker, not crowded, and cool (A/C works unlike in some shuttle buses.) And taxis are always just waiting outside of the Walt Disney World Resorts.

But here's the link for Mears, I'm sure it'd be much cheaper than a taxi...

Answer 4

If you are planning to leave Disney property for only one or two days, it would be cheaper to take a taxi or shuttle.

However, depending upon the number of people in your group, and the number of days you wish to visit "off-property" attractions, it could wind up cheaper to rent a car.

For example: 6 people want to leave property on 3 days. taking the shuttle at $10 per person, that is $60 per day x 3 days = $180. You might be able to get a rental car for cheaper than that.

Answer 5

Call mears transportation which provides cabs, buses, shuttles, and limos all over Orlando and is very reputable. You can find them online. They are always on Disney and Universal property.
DON'T TRY TO RELY ON THE CITY BUS!!!

Answer 6

IMO - for the rationalization which you're staying at between the Disney resorts, i could spend time beyond regulation on the Disney parks. distinctive my everyday rides are at Hollywood Studios (Tower of Terror, Toy tale and Rock and roller coaster) and your itinerary does not even incorporate it. yet yet another element to take under consideration is extra effective magic hours. On particular days, distinctive the parks open till at last now and stay open later and in basic terms human beings staying at between the Disney resorts (like distinctive celeb song) can get in for the time of those circumstances. as at once as we've been there in March, we went to extra suitable magic hours on the Magic Kingdom from ineffective nighttime to 3am. It made for an prolonged day, notwithstanding the area substitute into empty and there substitute into very almost no look ahead to the rides. Dont forget approximately to apply the fast passes.

Answer 7

Rent a car. Public transit is a joke in almost all of Florida. Especially in Orlando. Sorry.

Answer 8

LJRobbie (who was answering a question I asked about Disney / Universal) just wrote to me that you can get a shuttle from Disney to Universal for $10.00. I don't have any details though.
