transportation fron 192 hotel to sea world - The DIS Discussion Forums

krissymickey · 11-17-2009, 07:35 AM

Can anyone tell me the least expensive way to get to seaworld from 192 hotel that doesn't offer sea world shuttle. Last year our gas tank got punctured leaving seaworld and we don't want to drive there. Any advise would be appreciated. Is there anywhere to park closer to seaworld and catch the i ride bus?

I wouldn't let the one accident prevent me from driving. It could have happened anywhere. How exactly did it get punctured? If Sea World was at fault somehow, they should have been responsible.

We have driven to Sea World many many times (had a 2 year pass at one point) and have never had a problem of any kind with the vehicle.

I wouldn't let that stop me from driving there either, it sounds like a freak accident. I would MUCH rather have the convenience of my own vehicle vs. public transportation.
Twice over the years we've had vehicle related problems happen driving from MD to Orlando. Once a huge chunk got cut out of a tire on I-4, we barely made it to our resort. Second time the water pump started leaking profusely.
Both could have happened just as easily at home.

We contacted seaworld on the incident. We got no results. We also talked to our lawer when we got home. Basically it would cost more than the expenses to fight it and make seaworld responsible. Our car sits very low to the ground. I don't understand as it is a 2008 taurus and mom and dad have a 2002 and don't have this problem. But we just would prefer to avoid this happening again. With our situation with a handicapped son it is easier to avoid. We also took our car to the ford dealer when we got home to see if it had misfunctioning shocks, springs or any other problem that could create this. The dealer could not find anything wrong

A lot of the hotels on 192 have a free shuttle bus going to Seaworld. Have you checked with your hotel?

I'd guess that without shuttle service at your hotel you probably don't have a lot of options. You could take a taxi - the cost would be dependent upon where you're staying on 192, but I'd think that you should expect the one-way cost to be in the $20 to $30 range. You can go to the Mears Transportation site (www.mearstransportation.com) and use their taxi cost estimator tool to get a more precise one-way figure.

You could also think about renting a car for the day that might work out to be about the same cost or possibly less than a round trip taxi.

You could take a Lynx bus to TTC and from there another Lynx bus to Seaworld. I believe it's line 56 from the 192 and then line 50 from the TTC. It's a little over an hour.
