Parking and transportation questions

[chewyheel]

This is my first time going to Universal and I have a couple of questions that I haven't found a great answer too yet.

First, I see that it cost 15$ to park on site, do I have to repay if I leave and come back later the same day? Or are there other places to park that are close to the park that are cheaper?

Also, we're staying at the Rosen Shingle Creek hotel which is a few miles from the park, are there any ways besides taking a cab or driving myself that would be an easy way to get to the park?

Thanks for your help!

My travel agent said that Universal send buses to pick guest up from Disney's Resorts. I'm staying at POP, has anyone else ever hear of this? The total price per person for Universal is $150, which includes transportation, express pass, and the 1 day park to park..Thanks!

You only have to pay once,just hold on to your parking receipt.I've stayed at the Rosen Shingle Creek and it's tucked away at the end of Universal Blvd close to the Beachline expressway,if it was closer to the main tourist strip on International Drive you could take the I-Ride Trolley which could drop you off close enough to Universal to walk over,maybe someone else knows a way to at least get to International Drive from the Rosen Shingle creek.Maybe you could switch to the Rosen Centre or the Rosen Plaza both of which are right on I-Drive.I think the best way is to just go and pay the $15 as it's a quick 5-10 minute drive to the park from Shingle Creek up Universal Blvd.
