Transportation to Sea World About This Page:

I apologize if this has been asked 10,000,000 times...if there is a thread you can send me to that would be great. The search function didn't come up with anything for me.

We are going to be staying at Disney (POR) in December and want to do a day at Sea World. I'd love to hear how you prefer to get back and forth between the two and how much each costs (if you don't mind sharing).

We are considering renting a car for the day, but would like more information about the Lynx bus and the Mears Shuttle. Any information would be very much appreciated.

I've never actually used either of these services - but here's what I know. The Lynx Bus #50 travels between WDW (stops at the TTC and Downtown Disney, I believe) and Sea World. Busses leave approximately every 1/2 hour, and the fare is inexpensive. See this link for more information. LYNX - Route 50 Schedule Times It's just under $2 for adults each way, and half price for children.

Mears also has shuttle services from WDW to Seaworld - but I'm not sure on the schedule or cost.

I've always had a rental car at my disposal for trips off Disney property.

thanks Marie,
We are seriously thinking about a rental car just for that day. There are 6 of us, including 2 children, so I think it'll be worth it to be able to come and go when we are ready and not have to wait for a bus shuttle.

Just got back from DW and we decided to check out SW also. We called the frontdesk at out resort and they suggested Mears, which they connected us to automatically and it was $18 per person. Since my husband was the one on the phone I will have to ask him if that was for roundtrip...... We called a day ahead of time and had no problem scheduling.

Thanks so much for the information, we'll definitely ask at the desk when we check in.

I used Mears transportation to get to SW. I called and made reservations. They have a web site with a telephone number. You can pay with a credit card on the phone or pay in cash when you get picked up. They gave me specific times to pick from in the morning and I got to pick the pick up time for later. I think I could have called them, say 3 hours before I wanted picked up, but I picked a time 30 minutes after closing. It worked very well and was $16 per person round trip. I thought it was a good deal too since we got dropped off fairly close to the main entrance.

I would consider renting a car. There are car rental desks at several DTD hotels & one in Disney, at the Car care centre. Depends how many you are & if you find the drop off & pick up sched. convienent. There are lots of discount coupons for car rentals on mousesaver.com In Aug. we used Budget (I think !) at The Doubletree.

If there is six of you, sounds cheaper to rent a car.

That's what we are leaning towards at this point. I like the idea of having the flexibility to come and go when we'd like without waiting for a ride.
Thanks!

Another option if you don't want to go through the hassle/time of rentign a car for just the one day.....

There are 2 families/8 people going on our one day jaunt to Sea World. Round trip transfers with Quicksilver were qouted at $80, plus gratuity.....no paying for gas, no paying for parking, pick up and drop off at your resort entrance....worth the bit of $ for the time and hassle saved for our littel bunch!!
