Τρόποι μεταφοράς
Car (Recommended)
The easiest and most convenient way to get around Orlando is by car as many of the city’s top attractions are spread out and require multiple transfers on public transportation. If you plan on driving, be sure to keep some cash on hand for tolls and consider investing in a good map (free area maps provided by attractions are not the most reliable) or bring a GPS with you.
If you have access to a SunPass, EZ-Pass, I-Pass, or anything like that, we also recommend bringing it along for this trip. Tolls can be expensive and many areas have shifted to electronic-only tolling.
Τρόποι μεταφοράς
By I-Ride Trolley in the International Drive Area
If you plan to stay in the International Drive, also called I-Drive, area, consider purchasing a pass for the I-Ride Trolley which services lots of attractions in the I-Drive area including SeaWorld, Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and more. Single rides are available but require exact change.
I-Ride Trolley stops include 6 theme parks, more than 200 restaurants, more than 485 shops and premium outlets, over 30,000 hotel rooms, and more.

Taxi or Ride Share
Taxis are typically available at major attractions and most hotels however; most visitors find that renting a car is less expensive than relying on taxis. You might also opt to use a ride share service like Lyft or Uber if you're only trying to get between a few places (or if you're going out for the evening and don't want to drive).
Keep in mind that you'll need to download the app of your chosen service in advance.
