transportation from AKL to Universal Studios

[marcik38]

I am planning a trip to AKL in mid-late September. We are of course going to WDW parks but we are also wanting to go to Universal Studios a couple of days that we are there. My question is what would be the best and cheapest transportation from our resort to the Universal Studios parks for 6 people?

You would probably do best to rent a car for a couple of days.

We were not wanting to rent a vehicle while we were there. We did discuss that but just don't want to hassle with it.

We did the exact same thing when we stayed at AKL one year and took a taxi from DTD to Univ Studios. You can also try a bus from TTC. Have a great time.

Hi, when we stayed off-site, all we did was call US and they sent a bus over for us and it was only the 2 of us. Call US and see if that is still an available option.

Mears also runs shuttles. You can call them the day before, they will give you some times for pickup. They come to the resorts (at least that's what I've been told). Then, they will tell you when they will return you to WDW resorts. It's not as flexible as a towncar service or taxi or a rental but it's cheaper I believe.

The bus from the TTC - Lynx, the Orlando-area public transit system, see www.golynx.com for information - to Universal requires a transfer and a lonnnng time commitment, potentially as much as a couple of hours.

Universal itself does not provide transportation from Disney. What they probably did for the one poster here is contact Mears, which provides shuttle transport. It makes more sense to contact Mears directly to schedule this transportation; I think you can call the Front Desk at your Disney hotel the day before you want to go to USF, and make the arrangements on your own (no middle-man, making miscommunication extremely unlikely). Worst case, use the phone book in your room and call Mears directly. The latest rate of which I'm aware is $15 per person r/t.
