All Star Music to Universal (No Car)?

[floridamouse]

:wave: First posting and I think I may have posted to the wrong forum initially...Ah well here we go again.
We are heading for Florida again this year in June for second year in a row. Spent almost all of our 2 weeks last year at Disney so we think we may venture out to some of the other parks on one or two days this year.
We are non-drivers staying at the All Star Music. Can anyone help with advice on best way to get from the hotel to Universal. We are 3 adults and 2 young kids.:wavey:

Hi

Welcome to the dibb.

In answer to your question I think the best way to get to US will be a taxi.

I would probably agree with that because there are 5 in the party. We are only 2 so we have been recommended to use Mears Shuttle which can be booked from the hotel the night before and will cost $14.00 each return.

Your other option is to use the Lynx buses - considerably cheaper but this would mean getting across to the TCC and with 2 kiddies I'm not sure you would want to do this unless you were on a tight budget.

Thanks for the information. Looks like a taxi may be our best option if it is less than $ 35 each way.
Any idea roughly what the taxi cost would be?
Also how often do the shuttle buses run, would be limited by that if we went by bus?

$30 each way ....

This is a decision we need to make too. We are staying at the Royal Plaza with transfers booked with Virgin Holidays.

We need to decide whether taxis is more economical than hiring a car (plus fuel, parking etc) for 5 or 6 trips to Universal/Seaworld.

A car gives you so much more freedom! An economy car can cost under 100 GBP per week and petrol is mega cheap!

Unless of course, you are a non-driver! :wavey:

It is an option we are considering, hiring a car for the middle week or 10 days.
