Any shuttles to Universal or Seaworld

[goofyrabbit]

I know we are in Disney but can you get any shuttle's to Universal. I was thinking if any of the MarketPlace hotels might offer them. We could get transportation to the hotel and then maybe jump on a shuttle.

this is the TTC - near the MK


yes the DD buses have transportation to US - but you must register at the hotel - I don't know if they would allow you to register when you aren't staying at that hotel....

I was wondering about this too!

The folks at Disney sure aren't going to supply them! They hope you will come to "the world" and just forget the rest of Orlando exists!

There are several ways to get to Universal from you resort. (In no particular order)

Option 1
Mears: $15.00 PP RT

The day before you wish to go to Universal call from your room phone or any Disney House phone dial "0". When the operator answers, ask to be transferred to Mears.

When Mears picks up, tell them you want to go to Universal the next day, how many in your party, what resort you are staying at, and approximately what time you wish to leave.

They will give you a pickup time, location, and a confirmation #. Be at the front of your resort 15 minutes before the time they state the next morning.

Pay the driver $15.00 PP CASH upon boarding. (If you know you want to use Mears, you can stop by the Mears desk at the airport and purchase the vouchers in advance with a credit card, but you still have to call for reservations the day before).

When you arrive at Universal, you can arrange with the driver for a pickup time right then or take the stub they give you with their phone # and call them 2 hours before you are ready to return to your resort.

Option 2:
Cab - Approximately $30 - 40 one way, up to 7 people (in a van taxi). Go to bell services of your resort when you wish to leave.

When you wish to leave Universal, go to the taxi stand in the Universal Parking area.

Option 3:
Many of the towncar services provide round trip transportation to Universal from Disney Resorts.

Must be arranged in advance. $50 - $65 RT, either towncar or van depending on number in your party.

Many people like Florida Tours or Tiffany Town Car.

Option 4:
About $3.00 per person, Lynx bus system.

Go to TTC and take Lynx bus, then transfer to Universal Lynx bus.

Go to Lynx website for exact bus #s and times. Takes about 3 hours each way.

Thank you, I didn't know anything about the Lynx bus service.

FYI, we just got back last week and we used the Lynx bus to get to SeaWorld. It was pretty easy and super inexpensive ($3 RT per person). You catch the bus at the Transportation Center. As you exit TTC, the bus area is to your left. Bus leaves every at :18 and :48. Here is the route/times.

Anyway, it was a quick bus ride, dropped us off across the parking lot from the entrance (a bit of a walk). If you want to go to Universal, you can get off a SW and catch the 43 bus.

We have an 18 month old, and using the Lynx bus was very easy. Unless you're willing to spend quite a bit more, its a good option.
