Getting to Busch Gardens from WDW-no car

[pigby]

We'll be staying at POP in July and this year we really want to visit BUsch - the only major park we've never been to. We always stay on site as we don't like to drive.

What is the best way to get to Busch - most cost effective please? I was wondering if Mears pick up at your hotel?

I have toyed with the idea of getting over to the TTC to pick up the Lynx bus to take us to Seaworld, as I read that there is a free bus from Seaworld to Busch, but I don't know if this is practical first thing in the morning.

We do like FL Tours for our journey to and from the airport but will the price for a return trip to Busch scare us too much?

ummm...I don't know if you realize, busch gardens is in Tampa about an hour and a half drive from WDW. I don't know if there is anyway to get there without a car. I also would say it really isnt worth it. I went there with my husband and sister in law 3 or 4 years ago, all of us thrillseeking 20 somethings and we had done the whole park in about 3-4 hours.

There is a shuttle that runs from Orlando to Tampa. I think it picks up at Sea World but I am not sure. I would call BG and see what they offer. You may be better off renting a car for a day--you can rent on site which would make it easy.

We took the bus to BG from the SW parking lot a couple summers ago. something like $7. pp roundtrip. You need to call Mears to get the scoop on times, prices.
