Getting Around
Anyone staying at a Disney resort or official
Disney hotel need have no qualms about getting around the Orlando
magic kingdom. An unlimited free transportation network runs
throughout, with buses, monorails, ferries and water taxis
connecting all the parks and attractions before, during and for a
couple of hours after opening hours. The I-Ride Trolley operates
exclusively in the busy International Drive resort area; the fare
is $1 per ride, and various passes are available. Those wishing to
take a break from the world of Disney and travel elsewhere are
advised to hire a car, particularly as during peak holiday seasons,
buses are likely to be crowded. Mears Transportation runs a bus
service covering all Orlando's surrounding attractions, even as far
away as Busch Gardens in Tampa. Taxis queue for passengers in front
of most of the resorts in the area; they can also be ordered by
telephone. Fares tend to be high, however.
