After reading your article about public transportation in LA to go to universal studios , I was wondering if there is a similar article to go to Universal Orlando using public transportation from the Disney World area

My daughter and i will be staying at a Universal resort (Cabana Bay) and going to the Universal parks. But we would also like to attend a Disney park for one day, is there a shuttle available for that?

Thank you!

Hi Phyllis,

There is no free transportation between the two resorts. I would suggest you weigh the cost of renting a car versus getting a cab or shuttle. We offer some terrific discounts on car rental when you package with any of our tickets.

Keep hopping!

Hi Heather,

Definitely compare the costs of renting vs. taxi vs. shuttle. With your party size, a taxi is probably more economical than the shuttle, and renting may be comparable.

I would arrange for a taxi in advance since you have a larger party size, but that is up to you.

Best,

Mommy Frog
