Staying at Disney but going to Universal question

[Johnny]

Hi
My family and I are staying at Sarasota springs resort since we are DVC members but plan on going to Universal/Islands and take advantage of the 7-day pass for $90.00.
Is there any public transportation from Disney to Universal? Also is there a drop off section at Universal or Islands as my kids are older and can go to the parks unsupervised
Thanks

Don't think there is but you could always use services like mears and think if I am not wrong they charge like 27.00 a person round trip and pretty sure there are others also but don't know the company names.

There is public transport but it takes quite a while. Someone said 2 hours but I haven't tried it. There is a drop off area, it is where the hotel and city buses drop off. Easy walk from there.

jmho, not sure how you feel about a split stay (even 1 night onsite @ Lowes gives you 2 days FOTL access - another "best kept secret" ); rates are lower than point equivalents for the weekends.

when you factor in multiple days transport costs, that might tip the scales for you too.

regardless, think you'd be better off renting a car either for the week or just the days you're interested in visiting (check out mousesavers for rental car discount codes). via some diligent checking, not difficult to get a compact rental in the $100 range for a week.

good luck

I've heard Mears or taxi services are your best bet. Wish there were easier ways.

In California, Universal Studios Hollywood has pick-up/drop-off services to most of the Anaheim hotels. I doubt Disney World would allow that though.
