The Ocean

[tpettie]

Hi, I have to work out how to get my step daughter to the ocean. We are staying at all stars movies. Plan to take the Links bus to sea world ( that wasn't too hard ) now I have to try and get to an ocean???? How do I do that? where the heck is it?

thanks for the help

You could rent a car for a day right at Disney. Alamo and National both have sites at the Dophin Hotel or Car Care Center. They'll pick you up and return you when you bring the car back.
You can go to the east coast or west coast. The east coast is a little closer. Google a map of Florida. You can take I - 4 to exit 72 and 528 out to the coast to Cocoa Beach (about an hour). Since you're out there, Kennedy Space Center is near and might be worth a visit.
Or you can go to the west coast: Clearwater, St Pete's or anywhere along the coast (about an hour and half). Take I - 4 to Tampa then follow signs to the coast.

We also rented a car while at Port Orleans through alamo, they have shuttle to pick you up and drop you off, very convenient. The east coast is less crowded and less traffic, ocean has waves and cooler temps. Gulf is busier traffic around Tampa and fewer waves but warmer water.

What are my options if we don't rent a car we are traveling as a bit of a large group of 8.

We rented a Toyota Sienna (8 seats) from Alamo. Other than that I guess you could check with a towncar service but could be expensive.
