DHS to Universal

[Just_Joe1087]

My Fiancee and I have a drop from October 15th to the 20th and on that Wednesday (October 18th) we are planning to go to Universal for Halloween Horror nights. We will be going to DHS that day early on and then the plan is to leave around 3:00 or so to make our way to Universal for HHN. We are staying at the Port Orleans French Quarter and I was just curious what our best and quickest means of transportation would be. Would it be quickest to catch an Uber or Lyft right from DHS or take the bus back to the hotel and then catch an Uber or Lyft? Any help is greatly appreciated. Also if anyone knows the distance and time it will take to get to Universal. i've heard 8-10 mins but I don't know if thats accurate.

There's absolutely no reason to go back to the hotel if you're going to call an Uber or Lyft. If anything, you're likely to get one at the park slightly faster.

It's at least 15 minutes, but I would allow an hour or more. Reasons:

• Possibility of a traffic jam on I-4 at that time of day.
• Extremely heavy traffic and possible delays getting into the Universal guest drop-off area on HHN days.
