I doubt it. They will shuttle you to a WDW destination, but not all the way to MCO. If are leaving from your WDW resort you should be able to take DME. Or just change the return area to MCO and drive yourself there.

If you have further questions, you may want to start a fresh thread on the regular trans board. This thread is primarily for issues getting to US/IoA from WDW.

I know Mears is $20 PP fpr RT from Disney but what if I do one way to HRH then the next am to the airport would it be the same or just a bit more? How much is Taxi to MCO from HRH? We are going on the Dream.

Anyone get the Universal 2 day/2 park passes with shuttle service from DU? Wondering if the park days have to be consecutive? Anyone know

[aclov]

How do you purchase the DU deal for $120 and is that tax included?

[aclov]

It looks like the Dreams Unlimited deal is 129.99 tax is not included so total is 138.45

I received an e-mail from Julie at Dreams Unlimited:

Thanks for your interest in Dreams Unlimited Travel.
The Universal 2 day/2 park ticket does include two days of transportation to and from Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure. The days do not have to be consecutive, but the second day must be used within 14 days of the first day of use.

Hope this helps clarify some ???s

Tickets can also be picked up at Guest Services, but only by the person who's name the tickets are under. $1.99 per ticket processing fee

ALSO: When you order your tickets/transfers, the site asks for your travel arrival date. Julie from DU emailed this to me-
'The tickets do not expire until 14 days after the first day of entry into the park. The transfer vouchers have a seven day window, so your arrival date needs to be as close as possible to the actual day you will go to Universal.'

Hope this helps others with planning

I dont know what to do. We are going to Universal for one day from Pop. We will have our 2 year old with us(no carseat). I was going to book the DU deal but we may get a bus or we could get a van. I called Mears and they said if we are sent a van she still doesnt need to be in a carseat(called back again just to make sure). I am not comfortable with that. Thought about a rental but then would still need a carseat and we are using Cares on the plane.

You will most likely get a bus going there, and a van coming back. If you are using the Cares on the plane, why not in the van??? There is no way to use a car seat or the Cares on a bus.

Your only alternative is to rent a car with a car seat. Or hire a car service that also provides a car seat.

I dont think you are supposed to use Cares in any vehicle. I may consider bringing her on Mears. I wonder if they will allow me to seat belt her in(would that even be safe?) or make me hold her.

You need to let us know where you are going to. Most fares to either US/IoA or WDW resorts, from MCO are about $60 one way. I'm not sure exactly what info you need.

We purchased the 1 day/2 park pass with Mears Transportation and since the parks close at 6pm and 7pm that night will we be able to go to Citywalk and still count on Mears Transporation to bring us back to Pop a few hours after US/IOA close?
