Getting around: visiting the theme parks
|
|
|
You have to be very determined to get to the theme parks without a car, but it can be done. Local Lynx
buses
(tel 407/841-8240,
) converge on the downtown Orlando terminal between Central and Pine streets; route #50 heads to Walt Disney World, but it's a somewhat patchy service and takes about an hour. The pricier Mears Transportation Service runs private
shuttle buses
(tel 407/423-5566) between the main accommodation areas, the airport and Walt Disney World, Sea World and Universal Studios ($10-12 round-trip) - phone at least a day ahead to be picked up, or check at your hotel or hostel.
Taxis
are the best way to get around at night - try Yellow Cab Co. (tel 407/699-9999). Along International Drive, between Sea World Orlando and Universal Studios, the
I-Ride
trolley service (tel 407/354-5656) operates every few minutes daily from 7am to midnight, costing 75? one way. The immense
convention center
, several blocks in length, stretches along International Drive amid the attractions. Other useful information
