transport from disney parks?

Hi just arrivd back today , fab holiday and will writr trip report soon .If you are not driving the disney parks can be difficult to get to . No I trolley although there may be a Lynx ( local transport bus ) but did not see this . Most hotels will offer free transport buses to the disney parks . Check brochures web etc . We stayed at the Crowne Plaza just of onternational drive . Good hotel as so near. They offer free shuttle buses to disney and all the other parks . Hope this helps

transport from disney parks?

great thanks for that,would you recomend that hotel then?i havent booked mine yet,

Travelling between I-Drive and all the likely attractions is quite do-able by LYNX bus.

There are two regular bus services on I-Drive; LYNX (the city bus service) and I-Ride (an independent limited service aimed at tourists, but which strangely doesn%26#39;t actually go to the major tourist destinations).

Your best choice for a non-driving option is to use LYNX buses. These have a much, much more comprehensive coverage than the I-Ride trolley. They also pretty much duplicate the I-Ride route so you don%26#39;t really need tickets for both. If you are going to be using buses with any frequency to get to and from the attractions, only LYNX will take you.

From anywhere on I-Drive between Premium Outlets and Prime Outlets to:

- Universal - take bus 8 or 42 to the intersection with Sand Lake Rd and then bus 21 every 30 minutes from the adjacent Sand Lake Rd stop.

- Universal (alternative 1) - 8 or 42 to a stop two lights North/East of WetNWild; cross the street and take 37 every 30 minutes.

- Universal (alternative 2 if starting out south of Sea World) - 8 to the intersection of Sea Harbor Drive and Central Florida Parkway; transfer to 43 to Universal - only runs one per hour and does not run on Sunday.

- Sea World, Aquatica and Discovery Cove - bus 8 frequent from a stop on I-Drive.

- Disney Parks - bus 8 to any one of three or four stops near Sea World, then transfer to bus 50 express to Disney%26#39;s Transportation %26amp; ticket Center. Use Disney%26#39;s free bus/boat/monorail to the parks.

- Busch Gardens - you%26#39;ll need the Busch Gardens shuttle express which picks up at a couple of places in the area - near Gooding%26#39;s supermarket half a block to the south of Sand Lake Rd; and at Sea World. (There may be other points, too). This is a once-per-day scheduled service, but you need to book in advance by phone to be sure of getting a seat. The price is very low and it%26#39;s free for holders of certain multi-park admission tickets (e.g. the type of Orlando FlexTicket which includes Busch).

You can also go by LYNX to

- Premium Outlets - 8 or 42 south

- Prime Outlets - 8 or 42 north

- Florida Mall - 42 north

- Millennia Mall - 8 or 42 north to Prime then 24

etc............

Obviously, if you are starting out close to a transfer point (e.g. if you are at the Wyndham, then you are already close to Sand Lake Rd) you%26#39;d walk rather than taking the first bus detailed above.

Costs:

$1.75 each person one-way regardless of distance. Transferring buses (eg from 8 to 50 at Sea World for Disney) is at no extra cost so long as you ask for a transfer ticket when you board and pay.

or

$4 for an all-day ticket (if you are going to make %26gt;2 one-way trips in a day)

^^^^^ buy from the driver, no change given

or, for best value and convenience

$14 for a week%26#39;s unlimited use. Buy in advance from either the ABC Supermarket on Carrier Drive (next to TGI Fridays) or from the Official Visitor Center 1/2 a block north of Bahama Breeze on I-Drive, set at the back of a parking lot and indicated by an orange, yellow and black ';i'; sign.

All the services I have mentioned above have a frequency of every 30 minutes or better (except as noted for service 43). But do study the schedules for precise timings to minimise waiting and note that the number 8 bus stops running earlier in the evening on Sundays so take care if you are returning from Disney on a Sunday.

Once you have LYNX passes, you won%26#39;t also need I-Ride passes. On the odd occasion that you do feel the need to ride the trolley, I suggest you just pay cash - $1 each.

---------------------------------------

And just to emphasise...........

LYNX stops in pretty much all the same places as the I-Ride.

LYNX services on I-Drive run until the small hours of the morning (earlier on Sundays). They do get less frequent later on, so do take copies of the schedules with you.

You will not need I-Ride tickets as well as LYNX tickets. If you%26#39;ve bought LYNX passes as I recommend you do, you can use LYNX for any trips you would otherwise use the I-Ride main line for.

gee thanks for that long and lengthy reply,ill print it off and take with me ,thanks

Hi Budapesttont, would recommend hotel . had nice pool , clean and staff friendly and helpful , check the reviews on here . In terms of location and transport it was great . Free transport to epcot which then allows you to use the Disney transport to any of the other disney parks and disney water parks . Time where aprox leaving at 0845 and 1000 and coming back 1845 or 2145 . free buses also to Universal , Aquatica, seaworld and Discovery cove . Wet and wild a 10 minute walk away . hope this helps

great thanks,ill be looking at that hotel,any idae how much a taxi would be if you wanted to stay untill park closing?

No, but the last 50 out of Disney is at 11pm 7 days a week. Connections along I-Drive cease earlier on Sundays. See the schedules for details.
