Best way from Universal/Hard Rock to Disney resort?

[EclecticWAHM]

We're starting with 3 days/2 nights at Universal, then going to Disney. We've only used DME both ways before. What's the best way from the airport to Universal (Hard Rock) and then to Beach Club? We will be checking out of Hard Rock at the crack of dawn to get checked in and into the parks by opening.

Suggestions? We don't want to rent a car.

Uber/Lyft/taxi

I thought for some reason Uber etc. wasn't available at MCO...looks like that changed with a special Uber service. All have to check that out.

For us? Rental car.

If you've never been to uni before, give yourself some wiggle room on that "crack of dawn checkout" thing. Our first visit we didn't want to leave. At all. Hung on to the last minute to go so we didn't miss our reservation at Sanaa when we "had to" finally go check in to AK Jambo.

While HRH is our least fave at Uni, it's a million times more resort-ish and relaxing than any place at Disney for us, and the parks are most beloved by us.

i use car service as i don't want to deal with car rental searches, gassing up the vehicle, search for driving directions, driving it myself and deal with parking.

all i want to do is open the back door of a vehicle and get in for the ride.

We were MCO-CSR-Portofino-MCO and we just took cabs other than the initial DME from MCO to CSR. It was very easy. I've also done car service in the past as well.

You can use a taxi of a shuttle to get to the nearest hotel and or location and call an uber. It's very common. We used uber to get to and from Disney to universal and it was about 14 dollars each way. There are uber codes to help you get your first ride free or discounted. If you need one, please let me know!

UberBlack is available from MCO, but not UberX which is their cheapest service. UberBlack is fine but it might be easier to take a taxi from the airport - it will be around the same price, and you'll spend less time waiting since UberBlack cars can be few and far between depending on the time.

Taxi has cost us around $55-60 from the airport to Universal. From Universal to WDW, we paid about $40 in a taxi last trip. UberX could drive you between the two for a lower fare.

At the Hyatt valet area you can get a Black Car to Universal for about $55.
