Instructions for Mears to Universal from Disney.
Step 1 - The night before you wish to go to Universal, get on ANY Disney house phone (including your resort room phone) and Dial "0". When the operator comes on, ask to be transferred to Mears.
Step 2 - When Mears comes on the line, tell them you want to go to Universal the next day, how many people in your party, what resort you are staying at, and approximately what time in the morning you want to leave.
Mears will give you a pick up time on the phone, and possibly a confirmation #.
Step 3 - The next morning go to the front of your resort about 15 minutes before the pick up time Mears gives you and wait for the bus/van.
Step 4 - When the bus/van arrives, you will pay the driver $14 CASH per person for your round trip ride to Universal. You will receive your return ticket with a phone number on it.
Step 5 - When you arrive at Universal, you may schedule your pick up time then, or call the phone # on your return ticket two hours before you wish to return to schedule your return time.
Step 6 - Once you schedule your return time, then show up at the place you were dropped off at 15 minutes before your return time, and take the bus/van back to your Disney resort.
FYI - You may stop at other resorts after you are picked up at your resort on your way to Universal. You may also stop at other resorts on your way back to Disney.
Also FYI - Tiffany Towncar provides roundtrip service to Universal from Disney resorts. Their current rates are - $65.00 roundtrip + approximately 20% tip for a 4-5 passenger towncar OR $70 roundtrip + approximately 20% tip for a 10 passenger van.
