Busch Gardens Coach

[fuse04]

Was thinking doing G gardens next trip but we tend not to have a car. Hopefully will be staying at Universal and I think there is a free coach from Seaworld.....anyone used this? Any idea what time does it leave/get there and depart, do you need to book?

Same here - we are hoping to go next year but don't have transport. The free transport, i think, is dependant on what tickets you get. Our BG is included in our DC ticket so i am sure it doesn't include transport (might be wrong here - no doubt someone will correct me if i am!)

I have looked at the BG website and it offers transport from Universal, i-drive and Seaworld for $10 each. From some reports that i have read it doesn't get into BG until about 10-10.30am.

Here's hoping someone who has used it will tell us

We always go to Busch Gardens on this shuttle. See the link for details: https://secure.mearstransportation.com/MearsExpress/BuschGardens.asp

It takes just over an hour and normally gets you there on opening time and leaves about 20-30 mins before park closing time. I suggest you make sure you get back to the bus at least 10 mins before the arranged pick up time just to make sure you don't miss it....it's a big taxi fare back to WDW!

I highly recommend this service, we have used it 4 times and never had a problem. We either get picked up from SeaWorld or in the bus drop off at Universal, depends on where we are staying. I will be using it again in December when we stay at Hard Rock Hotel.

Also i f you have the five park Orlando Flex Ticket then the bus is free or charge!

Let me know if you have any other questions.

$10 return seems good value we don't get it free and although not ideal if it gets in 10:00-10:30 it is manageable, assuming its doesn't leave at 4!

Pinky166 - that was the one that i had seen, thanks! Wonder if anyone knows where abouts it picks up at Universal (as it is rather a big place!!) We are staying at HRH so would rather pick it up there than have to go all the way to Seaworl.

It picks up at Universal too. Do you know the long flat escaltor things that take you over to the parks? Just before you get to them there is a stair case that goes down into the bus drop off and taxi stand area. It picks you up right here - you can't miss the bus it is painted with Busch Gardens all over it.

Yes, i do know where you mean - although it is a long time since we have used that entrance (when you stay on-site you don't tend to go to that area)

The website says that it leaves Universal at 8am, and only has 3 pickups. I think when we get to HRH i will ask the car parking guys - they seem to know everything(and everybody )

Thanks

You're welcome.

It's really easy to find, the concierge at the Hard Rock will give you the quickest route. Have fun planning your trip.
