Disney resorts to universal

[SwanVT2]

We want to do a couple days at universal. We would rather not split stay with universal properties. What is the best way to get to universal from disney resorts? Is there a resort that would be best to stay at? Like port orleans to disney springs and transportation from disney springs?

Uber/Lyft would be your best bet.

There is no free transportation between Disney property and Universal. You'd either have to rent a car to drive back and forth or take an Uber or taxi. Mears also does bus transportation to Universal, it's about $30 per person per day, if I remember correctly.

Lyft or Uber would be best, as long as you don't have children needing car seats or boosters. If you need boosters (ages 4-5), buy portable ones (like Bubble Bum) before your trip & bring them with you. If you need only one car seat (ages 3 and under), you can request Uber or a taxi with one, but they may not be suitable for infants under 25#. If you need more, better use Mears.

In October 2016, we took a Mears cab from POR to Universal 2 days. We left POR between 8-9am both days, and returned home between 5-6pm both days. Worst case it was about $40 including tip, and that covered 2 adults and one child. That included sitting in rush hour traffic too.

I wanted to use Uber though because I was told it would be almost half that cost. But my phone was being weird and the GPS kept putting me somewhere that Uber identified as not a valid pickup location. But that was purely an issue with my phone. Next time I'd definitely use Uber for sure.

I hear that you don't want to split, but be sure to read up on the benefits you get by staying on property, especially at Royal Pacific, Hard Rock, or Portofino Bay.

Book one night there and get early entrance to a wizarding world and unlimited express pass both checkin and check out days.
