SW Transportation from DW??

[HeatherinVT]

I apologize ahead of time if this has been asked a trillion times because im sure it has but doing a search i didnt find my answer...
If someone could help me that would be great.

What is the easiest transportation to SW from Pop Century?
What will it cost me?

Would it be easier to rent a car for the day and if so would they drop it off to us at the hotel??

thanks for the help i have almost everything figured out EXCEPT that.

It is here somewhere as that was where I found the info for our recent trip!

We used the info gleaned from here and to Seaworld took the Disney bus to Magic Kingdom, then the ferry to the Transportation Centre. Walked through to the bus side of this and took a number 50 to Seaworld at $1.50 each single route. First visit to Seaworld we came back through the day and did the return trip by bus as well, you walk through the carpark from the main gate and have to cross the road for the return bus.

Second visit we wanted to stay for the fireworks and as the last 50 bus was at 10.18 we took at taxi back to Pop at a rough cost of $20.

edited to add, its just as well I knew what to do and where to go as Disney aren't very good at telling you how to get offsite

Thanks for the info......

I know that i read somewhere that there is a "tour" bus but it stops at alot of different places adn it can take forever to get to your destination....
not what i want to do with a 2 year old!

I was thinking maybe rent a car but cant decide

Thanks for asking!! I had the same question but hadn't gotten around to posting for info yet. We've got 3 kids and will be onsite too. They think the bus is another great ride so that will be perfect for us!

The "tour" bus you are talking about is probably the I-Trolley here

Which services the International Drive area.

People have reported good luck using the #50 from the TTC at Disney to SWF and back, plus it will save you a ton of money.

And yes, when you ask Disney employees directions to offsite parks, they'll say "I don't know." That's why I made my directions page here.

I recommend renting a car for the entire stay. That way you can visit SWF, restaurants along I-Drive, and a grocery store to stock up a cooler.

Is the #50 bus super confusing to use? I only ask because we are a party of 10 with 4 kids. Our part of the family would be fine with it but I'm not too sure about the "Disney Virgins" . Does the #50 make other stops as well? Can you get a bus schedule? I must say that that price is pretty nice though! Any other way to get there? What about Mears (are they still in business with ME?)? how much does it cost from them I wonder?
