| Public transportation to Universal Adventure Park Hi, Is it easy to take public transportaion to Universal Adventure Park or would you recommend reserving a shuttle service? We will be traveling during the Christmas Holiday time frame from WDW resort (boardwalk Villas). Thanks,

| I've never used public transportation, but Mears is very reliable ($17 per person R/T). They pick you up at the hotel and drop you the parking lot next to CityWalk in around 30 minutes. return trip is pretty much the same

| i would NOT recommend using the bus system to go between disney and universal. for one, it involves a transfer. i think the total commute is like 90-120 minutes each way. and second, it's just not a bus system and city you want to be lingering in unless you're completely comfortable given the circumstances. it's good enough for sea world though.

| My Mom and I used Mears in Sept. to go from Pop Century to US and found it to be very simple. I had called ahead of time and asked questions. I was told I should reserve my shuttle the day before. So we did just that. I called and told them what time we'd like to be picked up. We were picked up in a mini van and only made one other stop to pick up 2 other people. (I also made my return reservation at the time I made the pick up time.) It cost 16.00 round trip. We paid upon pick up and got a piece of paper that was our "ticket" for pick up. There were tons of people leaving at the same time we were (right after the park closed) but they had plenty of transportation lined up. They just called out which bus or mini van was going to which place and people lined up, handed them their pieces of paper and got on. Ours, to Pop Century, happened to be a big bus. I'm thinking it only stopped at a couple of places though and Pop was the first stop. It went so much better than I had anticipated. I think it only took about 20 minutes on both legs of the journey. I was pretty impressed! It was certainly easy and cost effective.

| I've heard the Lynx buses do really cheap transfers to Universal from the Transportation and Ticket Center. Not sure of the exact price though. Mears is very reliable though!
