Orlando Attractions

[yitbos96bb]

Does anyone know of a good way to get to other Orlando Attractions or attractions such as Daytona or Cape Canaveral from Disney Property besides car rental or taxi? Is there any kind of chartered shuttles or public transportation?

Public transportation is available (Lynx, at http://www.golynx.com) from the Transportation & Ticket Center to most points around Orlando and as far as Kissimmee and Sanford. A change of buses is often required. Lynx does not go anywhere near Daytona or Canaveral, however.

I'm not aware of a public transportation option to these destinations (though there clearly should be!), unless Greyhound makes the trip, and I'm not sure about that. Trains operate through Orlando and Kissimmee to Jacksonville, West Palm Beach and Miami, and Tampa - but not to Cape Canaveral or Daytona Beach. Seems like there might be a reserved 'charter' bus operation (Mears, or similar) to the Kennedy Space Center, but I'm not certain. If Greyhound does make any of these trips, the Kissimmee station is more convenient to Disney and can be reached by Lynx with a single change of buses (at Osceola Square Mall).

Thanks.

What about special private charters to other attractions. I was looking at lynx and the trip planner was coming up with trips of 2 hours to get to universal... not really worth it in my opinion.

You might want to check with Mears Transporation, they have charter buses that go to the other Theme Parks. The link below is to the rate sheet they have on their site. Depending on how many people in your party, sometimes it is just cheaper to use a Taxi.
