First timer to Universal

[daystar]

Hi,
Does anyone stay on disney property but plan on going to universal???If so how do you get transportation back and forth???Is there any kind of shuttle???Also what are the crowds like in the first week of december at universal???Thanks

We usually take a shuttle bus back and forth (mears) it cost about 10-12 per person now round trip. crowds should be pretty low after thanksgiving holiday.

Crowds shouldn't be a problem at that time. The only way to get back and forth is Mears or a Cab. Unfortunately, Disney doesn't provide any transportation.

Another option would be to rent a car for a couple of days from National or Alamo. Both are on property. It would also give you a change to do some shopping off-site for groceries or gifts.

these are some helpfull hints to get you throught the ride lines and into the other parks....

i am a universal freak myself.... and i already explained this to someone else... but i am going to sum it up for you...


1> at universal, get there before the park opens... depending on who is there, they might let you in early... go do everything at the back of the park((more towards MIB, back to the future, and jaws and what not...)) those rides get packed once when it hits 12... you are talking about 45 min. waits...

2> go to universal before islands of adventure, ioa is less packed in the afternoon than it is in the morning... vise-versa for univeral.

3> save the shows for last... some shows are good (ghostbusters, i love lucy, and beetlejuice graveyard revinue)

4> get some thing to eat AFTER ou go on the Hulk... trust me... i had some experience with that... not to good!!!

5> the bast place to eat at universal is Mel's diner... they have got soem great chilly fries^____^

6> the best place to eat at IOA has to be that big interactive dinosaur adventure dig/resturant/fun-for-kids zone/gift shoppe thing... i forget what it is called, but get a burger... they have got some great burgers....
also at IOA, try the Circus McGirkus((however you spell that...)) they have got a wide variety of food, and if you have any kids, they would like to eat at that place... the burger/dino thing is located at Jurassi park ((the third island if you make a left to go through marvel super hero island, and the third if you make a right to go through seuse landing.)) the circus Mc. is located on the island known as seuse landing.(( the first island on your right, the fifth island if you take a left to go through marvel super hero island...

7> do deuling dragons before the hulk... dd is less intence...

8> I HOPE YOU HAVE FUN!!! because i love universal so much... i got a season pass... buy one year, get the other year free...
