Getting to SeaWorld from Universal Area

[1stDisneyCruiseForUs]

I am so surprised this is proving to be complicated... thought it'd be a slam dunk easy one!

We are staying at the the Royal Pacific Hotel on site at Universal, and spending 2 days at Universal/IOA. One evening we've got tickets to go over to SeaWorld for their Luau.

Any advice on how I'd get my family of 5 from either RPH or Universal/City Walk to SeaWorld?

The trolley doesn't seem to stop anywhere near Universal - which is plain crazy. There is a courtesy shuttle from our hotel to SeaWorld but it only leaves in the morning and returns in the evening for full day park visitors.

Thanks!
Stephanie

We used ecab Orlando last time we were down and they were really cheap and affordable. The driver was excellent to and had lots of interesting info about Orlando.

We cabbed it from our universal resort. Hated the free shuttle. It was around 25-26 with tip.

If it were me, I would walk to Wet N Wild (about a 15 min walk) then get the trolley or the Lynx to Seaworld. You can always pay out for a taxi to get back again if you are tired.

I don't think the walk over to International drive is too bad to take the trolley over.

Thank you all for your advice! Greatly appreciate it. With 2 little kids who will be walking all day around unviersal, I am thinking a cab is the way to go.
