If you’re planning a visit to Universal Orlando and aren’t quite sure where to stay, one deciding factor may be the ease at which you can get to and from the theme parks! That’s where we here at UniversalParksBlog come in!

We compiled a list of transportation options so that you can see firsthand how easy it easy to get from one of Universal’s incredible hotels to the theme parks, water parks and City Walk.

Let’s take a look:

Water Taxi

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of starting the day at your Universal by hopping on a water taxi.  This mode of transportation is exclusive to guests at Loews Portofino Bay Hotel, Hard Rock Hotel Orlando, Loews Royal Pacific Resort and Loews Sapphire Falls Resort. Best of all it takes less than 10 minutes to get from these properties to Universal CityWalk. From there you can head to either Universal’s Islands of Adventure or Universal Studios Florida.

Resort Shuttle Bus

Another option for transportation to the parks is the shuttle bus. The shuttle bus is offered at each of Universal’s hotels and the buses run consistently throughout the day. Buses will either whisk you away to Volcano Bay for a day of water park fun or to CityWalk where you can easily walk to Universal Studios Florida or Islands of Adventure.

Here’s a quick look at run times at each of the Universal resorts:

• Universal’s Endless Summer Resort – Surfside Inn and Suites: Shuttle bus arrives every 15 minutes starting one hour prior to park open ’til 2 a.m.
