Disneyland to Universal???

We have a motel allready picked out for about five days. Thats by Disney. Then two days at Universal. The question is the space between. How do we get between Disney and Universal? We do not want to rent a car and a taxi would be a lot. I am open for suggestions. After Universal we have to get to LAX! Man I like small towns!!!

usually they have shuttles from your hotel to universal hollywood
here are a couple links that may be useful-
Universal Studios Hollywood - Sightseeing Companies
depending on your hotel in ahaheim check that website out too.

I usually set it up so my clients can ride the Grey Line motorcoaches to Universal. It is inexpensive and comfy! Ask your travel agent to price it for you. If you don't have an agent the front desk of your hotel can most likely help you! Have a wonderful time!

Here's GrayLine's website, Scott . . .

Southern California Gray Line - Welcome!


It doesn't say (that I was able to see) anywhere on there, directly, that it will take you to and from Universal HOWEVER I have known of folks who have done it.

Like Aubree mentioned, have your TA check it out for you . . . and if you aren't using a TA, you could probably give GrayLine a buzz and check it out or have the front desk/concierge at the hotel help you out once you get there.

As for SuperShuttle, I totally agree with that suggestion!

Another thought, though it might take you a bit to get there than if you took a bus, is to take a cab over to the Anaheim Metrolink station (near Angels Stadium) then ride the Metrolink to LA Union Station and transfer to the Metro Red Line train (a 25 minute ride - trains run every 15 minutes or so), which will drop you at Universal Studios.

A round trip for the Anaheim to LA Union Station (and back) will cost you $14 each on weekdays, $10.50 on weekends . . . the round trip for Union Station to Universal (and back) is $2.50 each.

It is up to $80 (adult +/- any gas surcharge) but that includes admission which the USH website indicates is $64 for an adult.
