Mobile Rosen Inn near Universal to Disney parks

Hi

What are the best transportation options from Rosen Inn closest to Universal into the Disney parks. We have a car so we will drive there a few times but having to pay $25 every time for parking is a bit offputting so I'm looking into other options.

We will probably use Uber at some point, does anyone have a rough estimate of the price from Rosen Inn Universal to Disney?

We've also heard of people using the Lynx buses as you can buy a weekly pass for quite cheap, does anybody know what number buses and stops we would need to take and how is the journey time?

Hope somebody can answer my questions.

Thanks

Nathan

Not sure which Rosen you're at but if youre on I Drive I know you can catch the No 8 Lynx service to Sea World, then the 50 goes from there to Magic Kingdom Ticket & Transportation Centre

Hi, sorry I wasn't very clear about the Rosen Inn, its the Rosen Inn International right beside the huge McDonald's.

I'll definitely take a look at that bus route thank you.

I wouldn't even attempt to get the bus(es) it will take around an hour and a half, could be longer. Uber estimator gives a price of $15 just now.

There are 3 Rosen Inns on Drive so make sure you know which one it is if you decide to go the taxi route

Uber would def be best. Bus is very easy to take though you need to change bus at sea world

OP. A return trip by Uber is going to be more than the car park charge so the maths just doesn't work out sorry.

Plus if you are going to be leaving a hire car usused you possible should revisit the idea of actually having one.

The bus will be the cheapest but my god what a big chunk you are going to lose out of your day. Circa 3 hours I would guess or certainly near that.

Best of luck in your decision making but my view is use the car.

I'm at the Rosen Shingle Creek next year. On Universal Boulevard. I have free ≈≈≈≈ng through booking with BA. It should be I think $18.00 a day. But I couldn't be without a car on any of my USA trips, no matter what. Hate waiting for busses and taxis plus you're tied to times.

Yeah I think driving does look the best option, rather pay the $25 and get there in decent time and probably makes park hopping a bit easier. Thanks everybody for the advice.
