Hi all!

This time around we're going to do Universal to do Harry Potter, with that being said, how would we get to Universal from a Disney resort?

I see that the Doubletree Inn is a popular hotel, because they have shuttles to universal and disney world. I would LOVE to stay at a Disney property!! I just have to find a way to get to universal that one day, I guess we could take a cab??

Thanks in advance!!
 
I just went on the DTD Doubletree web site, and didn't see anything about Universal shuttles, only WDW shuttles.

We stayed here 1 night last August, our arriving night before transferring to a Disney resort- POR.
We got a good rate from mousesavers.com that included a continental breakfast. Our 1 bdrm suite was very spacious and comfortable. Nice hotel. It has shuttles to the WDW parks which run every 30 min.

If you aren't staying at a WDW resort, this is the next best thing. It doesn't have the same amenities as a WDW owned resort- different shuttle that drops off with the other off site busses, a bit further walk then the WDW resorts. No Extra Magic park hours, room charging, resort delivery from park gift shops, or airport transportation.
We found even for 1 day that we missed the Disney resorts, but it was a nice hotel, room was beautiful. Loved the Crabtree & Evelyn toiletries :goodvibes
I have nothing bad to say about The Doubletree.

And for Universal transportation- it does have a Budget car rental desk in the lobby, if you wanted to rent a car to get to Universal.
 
Big difference between the DTD Doubletree and the one across from the entrance to US/IOA. We decided to stay an extra night after checking out at HRH and being soaked in a rainstorm a few years back. I called from the park and managed a good AAA rate. The resort was definitely showing some age and toiletries were definitely not C & E, but it was a decent room at less than a hundred bucks for the night.
