best and cheapest

Asking this for a couple who are going to Orlando on honeymoon soon. Neither of them drive so they have to rely on public transport. I get the impression that they don't have much cash to spare.
They are staying on International Drive - I think they said the Holiday Inn.
What is their best choice to go from I. Drive to the following (one destination per day)...
Universal Studios
Seaworld
WDW
Beltz
Florida Mall

They are getting a free bus from the hotel to Kennedy and BG but wanted to travel at their own times for the above destinations.
Any help would be great

Re: best and cheapest

I Ride Trolley goes to Belz and Sea World. It runs up and down I Drive and there'll probably be a stop right outside their hotel. 75c each way or $3 for a one day pass.

I would guess that a cab would be cheapest for Universal. The other two I'm not sure. There is that convoluted trip to WDW which involves getting the trolley to Sea World then catching a Lynx bus to the TTC. Cheap but can take forever.

Re: best and cheapest

I would also have said the I-Ride Trolley and Lynx (http://www.golynx.com/). This cover Belz, Florida Mall, Seaworld and Universal.

I think the Holiday Inn also has a shuttle service to the main theme parks. You can see the Holiday Inn (next to WetnWild - I Think) from Universal so might be walkable, but would only be a few $ in taxi.

Getting to WDW is expensive by taxi ($30), cheaper if dropped-off at Downtown Disney and then get Disney Transport to parks.

Re: best and cheapest

So, is this correct..........
If they don't want to leave before Wishes etc at MK (free bus leaves as Wishes starts), they can get a Lynx bus to Seaword then, the I Ride trolley to the hotel?

The couple don't really want to use the free bus from the hotel because it leaves before they would like to leave the park - I think they are wanting to go to Citywalk after US too.

I think the last bus back was sometime between 11.30pm and midnight. We actually got a taxi back one evening because the hotel screwed up the timetable and we ended up being at the bus stop an hour before it was due to leave, so we deciced to do that rather than waiting around - if I remember rightly I think it cost us about $6.
