If you go to mapquest.com you can get detailed directions street by street..used it the last time we were in LA and it was great.

Are you asking for driving directions or what services are available to take you there???? There are some shuttle and limo services that go back and forth between the parks.

Yeah I meant what services are available. It's my first time to Disney and am so excited. My hubby wants to check out Universal for a day.

There is public bus service, but not without transfers

Mears http://www.mearstransportation.com/ has services between airport, hotels, and attractions.

If there are enough of you, it may be easiest for 1 person to take shuttle to get a car for the day.

Contact Mears Transportation. Last March we stayed at Universal, and went to Disney for a day using Mears.

You will LOVE Universal. Islands of Adventure is my favorite park. Also check out www.yourride.net and www.happylimo.com Go to www.disboards.com for lots of advise on all aspects of Universal and Disney World.

I love this site you guys give such great advice. My hubby is excited to go to Islands of Adventure. He wants to ride the Marvel Superheroes rides(big comic fan). Finally getting him excited for our trip. He's not as big of a Disney fan as I am, so i figured I would comprimise. I cant wait!

Your husband will LOVE the Hulk and especially Spider Man. It's one of the best rides anywhere!

You might want to consider spending two days at Universal instead of just one. I think you'll like Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure more than Disney.

Let me put my two cents in here, as I live in Orlando. DO NOT rely on the local buses (Lynx). Bus stops can be few and far between. BTW many hotels/motels have free bus services to all the major attractions (Disney, Universal and Sea World) Disney is about a 10 minute ride from Universal and its all highway.

I am on my way to WDW today. I am so excited I could not sleep. We cant wait to leave these single digit temps in Michigan. Orlando here we come. I will post a trip report when we get back.
