Not renting a car - how to get to SW?

[mollygirl]

What experience do you have with getting from a Disney resort to SW without a rental car? I figure our options are:

Mears Shuttle
Rent a car for the day
Taxi
Public transportation (bus)

Any comments on these? Recent estimates of price for each?

I'm most concerned with the price and how long it will take to get there. I want a good compromise between the two

Thanks

It isn't very far from Disney, so a taxi shouldn't be too expensive....or if you can spare some more time, the bus might be your cheapest option. Sorry, I don't have figures though.

There was a thread on here recently warning against taking the Bus to SW. The price is good but takes too much time.

Mears charges by the person so that may be a factor for you.

A taxi from POP would cost about $25. Mears shuttle is around $18 per person. I am planning on using Mears for both seaworld and discovery cove.

We have always used Mears in the past to get there and a taxi back. Why - just easier with the taxi back so I could leave the park when I wanted to leave the park.

Is the $18 per person for Mears round trip?

According to thier website (mearstransportation.com ), it is $16 roundtrip.
