Transport from tampa airport to Disney springs
Hi, this is the first time we are flying into tampa, as it was so much cheaper. Now just worrying about getting from the airport to the resort now. There will be 4 adults, a 3 year old and a 1year old.
We have never needed to drive over there before but now just worrying it might be the only option really. Has anyone done this before, either by bus, taxi or rental? How did it work out and what would you suggest? Thanks |

We are looking at this also. Flying to Tampa and doing busch gardens then to disney. Prices for uber didnt look too bad so currently thinking thats the way we will go, although hiring a car cheaper i dont want to drive.

you're looking at $100+ with uberXL each way and that might be tight if you have luggage, pushchair, etc. you might need 2 rides
you can arrange for private transfers, but that will be around $200 each way I would advise against the bus ... 7 hours on pubic transportation to DS or TTC then uber to your hotel (disney transport won't allow you to take luggage on board) that is not something you want to do after a flight (compared to 90 minutes with a car) if you don't want to drive, you may realise that most of the savings you've done by flying into tampa will go towards paying for transfers renting a car will be the cheapest way |

We have done Tampa a couple of times now, but we rent cars so not an issue, if I was in your situation I'd probably just rent a car for the first night then drop it at Disney, then a second rental for the last night picking up from Disney and dropping at the airport.
The drive from TPA to Disney is very easy, I think it took us two hours last time we drove it and that included stopping for food half way. Orlando was well signposted from TPA airport. |

I think hiring a car is the best option for that many of you, a one way hire from Tampa to Orlando and then the same on return will be so much easier. We always dive but flew into Tampa last October for the first time, very easy airport to navigate around. We drove out of the car hire garage at 5.19pm and crossed under the Disney sign at 6.37, and were in the pool at All Star Sports at 7.15.
