Personally, we choose not to drive when visiting Orlando. As such when we’re looking to get to the Disney and Universal Studios parks, we instead look to use a rideshare service.
However, in some cases, you are able to stay in a hotel that provides a free shuttle service to both the Universal Studios and Walt Disney World parks multiple times a day.
This can help you save significantly on rideshare services during your vacation.
