Transport: 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.
