They have shuttles to the parks. You can take those. We have never taken the shuttles, so I am not sure about the times or how often they run. The resort is very nice and has lots to do if you just want to spend the day there. They have kids programs, several pools, movie nights and ice cream socials. They give you a list of activities for the week when you check in. We have stayed there several times, and have never been dissapointed. If you plan to go to Seaworld, it is right across the street.
