getting to other parks from HRH??

[trezoc]

Hi everyone. First trip coming up and this forum has been so helpful!! We are flying in from PHL to MCO and would prefer not have a rental car (as most of our time will be spent at U/IOA).Anyway...can anyone recommend transportation options from the airport to HRH?...or know how pricey it would be to take a taxi to places like SeaWorld,Discovery Cove or Downtown disney?Thanks for your help.

I'll let someone who uses the airport answer the transfer question. On the shuttles to the other parks...if you stay onsite at Universal, there is a free shuttle to Sea World and Discovery Cove since they are located right across the street from each other. I would think Mears would be the easiest way to get from Universal to DTD. You might want to check their website and use the calculator to get an idea of the fare.

I have used 7 different car transportation companies.
Have not had any issues with any of them.

I'll list 4 that i have used based on the lowest price and up:
******
quick silver
tiffany
murray hill

if you book round trip, it is discounted rather than booking one way trips.

for taxis, here is a link you can use to estimate the costs involved.

metro is correct, if you stay at the onsite hotels, you are provided free shuttle to wet and wild, sea world, aquatica but no downtown.

As Mac said, using a towncar for roundtrip between the airport and the HRH is a great idea. Most towncar services will also allow for a 30 minute grocery stop on the way to the hotel. We usually buy water, soft drinks, chips and snacks during the grocery stop. We'll also buy a styrofoam cooler to keep the water and drinks cold.

Hi there. Our trip is coming up and we booked a car service for the RT from the aiport to the hotel. As a matter of fact, I am using one of the companies above.

I will let you know how they do, though I do not anticipate isues.
