Mears shuttle or taxi to Universal and Sea World

[Jadeey]

Hi all,

We are staying at POP Century from December 28th to January 18th. It'll just be DH and I. We're from New Zealand and DH is very apprehensive about driving on the other side of the road so doesn't want to rent a car. I'm getting laser eye surgery right before the trip so won't be allowed to get an international drivers licence for the period we are there (and probably would be too scared to drive on the other side of the road even if I wasn't. )

I'm thinking during the quieter time in January we might stick with the Mears shuttle because it's so much cheaper. But between the 28th and 5th we'll be going to Sea World twice, Discovery Cove once and Universal once.

Since rope drop is so important during the busy time, would you guys risk the shuttle or should I go for the taxi? We don't mind if it takes a long time to get home afterwards, we just want to make sure we get to the parks before they open.

I've used the Mears shuttle several times to get over to Universal. I always just ask for their earliest pickup (usually around 7:30am) and have never had a problem getting there before park opening. Not sure about Discovery Cove and Sea World.

Wait a minute, come to think of it, I have been on a Mears shuttle that dropped off a couple at Sea World, before the driver took the rest of us on over to Universal, so I guess you could make it to Sea World before park opening too, using Mears.
