disney to universal transport

Whats the best way to travel between the 2 without renting a car?

Mears transport seems to be the most popular choice. It depends on how many travellers there will be. A cab may be more economically feasible.

We are using a towncar service, for our group of 6 it was $40 one way. That was cheaper than what Mears would have been for our group.

Back with our experience as promised

Hubby says we paid $27 plus tip


edit: oops wrong thread - $ 27 was taxi from PBH to Downtown Disney

Any chance you can tell me which company you used? I got a quote of $50 for a towncar from MCO airport to Hard Rock and I believe the Disney resorts are further out than Universals.

We are heading to Disney after our Universal stay, but we'll just take a taxi for that one.
thanks.

You can also get a lynx 50 from Disneys ticket and transportation centre and get off by seaworld then get another lynx to Universal or get the I-ride up towards Universal and then its a short walk, I know its more traveling than the other methods, it's what me and my girlfriend did last year it cost about 4 dollars each way each I think.

We find Mears to be the most expensive car service. Has anyone else felt this? One way from MCO to AKL for $86 for 4.....ouch!

But you could use the Mears-run Magical Express to the AKL for free, couldn't you?

YES if you are doing a complete package.

YES if you are doing a complete package.

What do you mean by a 'complete' package? We are using DME and we are staying onsite at SSR. We haven't booked flights through Disney though.

We thought this as well. We are heading to Universal first so no DME. We have a towncar service from MCO to Universal RPR and then the same service from RPR to Disney BCV three days later. The cost for both trips is $100 (plus tip) for the 6 of us. This was much cheaper than Mears. We will use DME back to the airport when we depart, but it was only another $35 if we added that.

It is SO CRAZY what these cab services charge from MCO to the hotels in Orlando. They really make you think that the hotels are so far away from the airport, which in reality most of them aren't!!!

I don't book my airfare through WDW either - they asked when I made my hotel & ticekt reservations if I wanted to add ME, and then asked for my flight info.
