Getting around orlando without a car!

[jenna_sliwka]

Hi!

This is my first time posting on this site after reading comments for a while!
My boyfriend and I are going on our first WDW trip on the 1st Sep!]

35 days to go!! I can't wait! http://www.wdisneyw.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Anyway as we are both 20 (and from UK) we are too young to hire a car so are having to rely on other means of transport, so was hoping for some advice! We are staying in ALL STAR MOVIES for a week and POP CENTURY for the second week so disney transport shouldnt be a problem but we also want to do Universal/IOA, Sea World and Busch Gardens.

MY boyfriends brother has told us it will cost about $50 for taxis to the hotel to universal and back.. :unsure: is this about right? and ive been reading about the LYNX bus service, could i get this from anywhere in disney to universal/sea world? Also i believe you can get a free bus from sea world to Busch? is this true?

any advice anyone can offer will be greatly appreciated!! The only person i know whose been is my bfriends brother and hes trying to put us off goin to universal sayin it will cost too much money! but we really want to do them both!!

ALSO! (sorry this is long!!):sorry: any recommendations of approx how much money we should take?! No kids and as under 21 no alcohol? how much is an average meal in DTD?!!http://www.wdisneyw.com/ubb/confused.gif

:welcome: Jen! You can take the Lynx bus to Sea World. I believe it is the number 50 bus.

As far as food costs, click on dining at the top of the page and you'll get menus from the various places around disney :)

The Sea World to Busch Gardens bus is free to their flex-ticket holders, but there's a small charge otherwise: http://www.seaworldfloridatickets.com/orlando-flex-ticket/busch-gardens-shuttle.htm

I love Sea World www.seaworld.com
and Busch Gardens! www.buschgardens.com

We used Mears transport.
You can call them in the morning or the evening before to arrange a pick up time and they'll take you to Universal/Islands Of Adventure and Sea World and the same works on the way back, you just call and arrange a time.

It's a shuttle bus, which holds about 10 people so you normally make a couple of stops on the way, but I still think it is quicker than getting a Lynx bus.

I've read a few reports that some people didn't find them very reliable, but we used them quite a lot for two weeks and we had no problems at all. A round trip cost $16 each.

Hope that helps. :D
