the i ride goes up and down the length of i drive. it stops at seaworld ,aquatica, wet n wild. for universal parks you can get off at wet n wild cross the road and walk to them. should only take you 15 minutes. they also go to prime outlets and premium outlets. http://www.iridetrolley.com/map.asp this will give you an idea, click on trolley marker map, and will give you a list of stops, restuarants, hotels, and other things.

We used the trolley in October 2005 a couple of time and one of these was to Sea World. We ended up getting a cab back to I Drive due to the pushers in at the trolley queue at the SW stop, it was obvious we were going to have problems with our young ones and a bit of a crush. Annoying but tbh was happy to help out one of many cab drivers who had had to flea New Orleans looking for work that year due to the hurricane.

Hello, we have stayed on International at the Homewood Suites in February 07 and June 08. I believe your hotel is virtually opposite and we did meet people who had stayed there the said the food was good and they really enjoyed it. Getting about - all the hotels operate a shuffle service to all the parks free of charge - however, timetables are very limited. We always buy an I Ride ticket. Our first year we purchased this from a very helpful lady on the Universal desk in our hotel reception. Last year I did a bit of homework and visited the I Ride web site and purchased direct at half the price so do a Google search and book them yourselves - you print a downloadable slip and hand it to the driver on your first journey who exchanges it for a ticket.

I Ride - is a fantastic way of getting around and whilst it does not go directly into Universal we tended to go there by free shuffle service but when we wanted to come back took a short journey by taxe for $5 to get us back on to International Drive then hopped on the I Ride!! It goes directly into Seaworld and the new Aqua Park at Seaworld. It is on the route for Wet & Wild and it also links with the shuffle service to Disney.

For Shopping this ride will take you from one end of Orlando to the other to all the major outlets and also links to the Florida Mall Linx bus 42 on International Drive.

All in all the best and cheapest way to get around - no need for car hire

P.S. They also have on board discount leaflets for Ci Ci's pizza, Subway and many more so grab an handful whilst on board - Have a great holiday we did and went back twice

Brilliant info, thanks everyone
