Transportation

[In-need-of-vacation]

Only a few more days till our trip and I am getting the last minute things together, working my extra shifts and figuring everything out. I am the older sister so it is my job to make sure everything runs smoothly.

My biggest concern at the moment is transportation. We aren’t renting a car while down there and we are staying at the Baymont Inn and Suites Celebration which I know has a very limited shuttle to Disney parks and I am not sure it even takes to Universal studios.

So what are the best ways to get around? How expensive are cabs? I know there is a bus stop nearby but how good is that? Does it take you near the parks and other attractions?

I know I have been asking a lot of questions I hope I'm not making a pain of myself.

I can't help you with details, since I live here and drive everywhere myself. Public transportation in the greater Orlando area is poor. The bus system is called Lynx and the schedules & maps can be found here: http://www.golynx.com/?fuse=cstm&app=route. I am guessing Links (route) 111 & 301-6 may be of most interest to you. In addition, be aware of the I-Drive Trolley http://www.iridetrolley.com/maps.asp which goes up & down International Drive and even to Universal, but not to Disney. Your only other option may be taxis and I don't have any firsthand knowledge of their rates. Hope this helps some.
