Getting to a non-Disney area?

Hi All

I will be at WDW in September for 9 days - staying at Pop.

I am hoping to take in both Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure and the Prime Outlets shopping mall.

What is the best way for me to get to these places - I will not have a car.

I was looking at a map and wondered if it were best to get to the Disney Transport Centre and then get other transport from there?!?!

Thanks!

You could always rent a car for the couple of days that you will be going off site. It might make more sense. Not sure if they offer shuttles from Disney to Universal.

Re: Getting to a non-Disney area?

I would either rent a car or take a cab. I would compare prices and go from there. Personally, I love having a car when I am there because I don't feel so confined. I love WDW but if we want to go on Internaltional Drive, shop outside the world or go to Universal, we have the freedom to do so.

I would say the same as Remy- when we first visited WDW we used only Disney transport or cabs- and as we too like to go 'off site' quite alot it is more economical to hire a car. Also it gives you the freedom to explore other areas. Prices are very competitive and there are some good hire car discount codes available.

Re: Getting to a non-Disney area?

We visited Sea World in 2003 (stayed at POR, there were 7 of us) and actually had a limo/van service drive us! I think it was only $65 (plus tip) round trip and it was worth it - they arrived when we wanted them and picked us up when we were ready to go home.

Re: Getting to a non-Disney area?

I'm a bit scared of the whole driving on the "wrong" side of the road - so I don't really think that hiring a car is an option...

Taxi's it is then!

Thanks All!!!
