Disney and Universal

My family and I are planning a trip to Universal and Disney in October 2008. We will be at Universal Oct. 5-8 and Disney Oct. 8-15. What is best transportation for getting to these places? We usually either take the shuttle or hire a towncar, but I am unsure on what to do. Thanks.

The best way is to take the taxi service. You go out and pick it up, at your resort, when you want and stay at Universal as long as you want than go out and take a taxi off the taxi stand back to Universal. You don't have to pre-schedule taxi transportation and that seems to work out best for everyone.

Both the Disney resort stands and the Universal taxi stands are serviced by Mears, who are the most reliable company working the Orlando area.

we used Tiffany town car and they were wonderful - we have too many people for a taxi and the price was reasonable and service was terrific.

Will you be staying onsite at a Universal hotel? (I highly recommend staying onsite and do a split stay rather than trek there from Disney each day. Your room key works like an unlimited fast pass and it's so heavenly!) If so, you really don't need a rental car so I would vote for a taxi or town car service from the airport and then again for your ride to WDW.

We will be at Universal Oct 2 -7, 2008. We always hire Sunray Transportation.

When we are at Universal we are staying onsite at Royal Pacific Resort and while at disney we are staying at Boardwalk Villas. Thanks for all the input, I will be checking them all out. How much does the taxi typically cost? Is it cheaper than the towncar?
