Getting around Orlando

There are plenty of ways to get around Orlando’s tourist scene. Lynx buses and I-ride trolleys travel between the theme parks, but you’ll have to know the schedule ahead of time. Shuttle buses that run by the Mears Transport Group are more expensive, but they run all over the city to hotels, Disney World, Sea World, Universal Studios and the airport. If you’re staying at Disney World, you won’t have to worry about getting around. All the Disney hotels have a free transport system connecting the parks with buses, monorails, ferries and water taxis. 

What is good to know if travelling to Orlando?

• Make a plan before you get off your flight to Orlando — there are so many possibilities. Purchase theme-park tickets online to avoid standing in line at many of your favourite attractions. If you need to buy tickets after you arrive, get to the park an hour before it opens to queue up for tickets.
• Check out the Orlando/Orange County Convention and Visitors Bureau website.  It provides international guides and maps; advance ticket sales, including Magicards; links for booking hotel rooms and transport; information on the Orlando night life; restaurant cuisines; and links to goings-on at the theme parks and in Orlando.
• To beat the crowds at Disney World, use the FastPass system to schedule a ride time rather than waiting in line. For all parks, start at the far end of the park and work your way back to the entrance. Also, go to the big rides first so you miss the mid-afternoon rush.
• Other attractions you might want to visit are Wet N’ Wild, Orlando’s most popular water attraction; the Kennedy Space Center, just an hour’s drive from Orlando; and Busch Gardens, also an hour’s drive from Orlando.
• Orlando is hot and muggy in the summer and mosquitoes and no-see-ums (tiny bugs with a big bite) love that weather. Make sure to pack or pick up insect repellant, especially if you’ll be near the water.
• Don’t forget to pack or pick up suntan lotion with a high SPF rating (30 or higher), a wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses.
