Just wondering if I would be able to get the Iride trolley from Universal all the way down to LBV Premium Outlets as its directly across from the hotel Comfort inn which is our hotel. Checked on Google earth directly across. anybody know how far the bus runs. cheers:grin:

The I Ride doesnt stretch as far as Universal. If you want to get from Universal to I Drive to catch the I Ride it is a 15 min walk from US down Universal Boulevard. On the other hand you can catch a Lynx bus from the bottom of the escalator and stop where it cuts across I Drive and again link up.
The I Ride goes south as Premium Outlets - it is its last stop. However, are you thinking about Lake Buena Vista Factory Stores - you can not link up to those shops there by the I Ride.(not sure where your hotel is) I emailed Lynx the last time I went and there was no easy way by Lynx bus to LBV stores.

Here are a few links to various sites which may be useful

Regarding getting to Lake Buena Vista for Universal if you are without a car I would advise hiring a taxi.It is the easiest way.

The I-Ride from International Drive does go as far as Premium Outlets which is the last stop going South.
A word of warning, the Comfort Inn is directly across from Premium Outlets as you say, but between is Interstate 4 a very busy 8 lane motorway, please say you weren't thinking of crossing it! :omg:
If you are looking to get back to the Comfort Inn you would need to get a cab from Premium Outlets. The hotel does run a free shuttle to the LBV Factory Stores.

We used the I Trolley last time we were there but had trouble getting back to our hotel. We had walked so far down I Drive and wanted to ride the rest of the way, however all trolleys were going by full and we couldn't get on one for about an hour. This was in October not the height of the season. has anyone else had this problem?

no i wasnt planning on crossing the busy road so dont worry. The Comfort Inn does run a bus up and back to Universal so I better use that thanx anyway.
