One of my top tips for Orlando trips: choose a hotel with a free shuttle to the parks. It saves on parking fees, avoids driving stress, and gives you downtime to recharge between adventures. Here are some great options:
🚍 Hotel Picks with Shuttle Service
- Holiday Inn Resort Lake Buena Vista — Offers complimentary scheduled transportation to Disney, Disney Springs, Universal Orlando, and Epic Universe.
- Wyndham I-Drive Avanti Resort & Conference Center — Shuttle included to major parks and local shopping.
- Comfort Inn Kissimmee by the Parks — Scheduled shuttle to Disney, Universal, SeaWorld, and nearby malls.
- Floridays Resort Orlando — Shuttles to Disney, Universal, and SeaWorld as part of guest services.
- Margaritaville Resort Orlando — Complimentary shuttle to a central transportation hub for Disney, Universal & SeaWorld.
- Rosen Inn at Pointe Orlando — Official Universal partner, with free shuttle service between the hotel and Universal parks.
🛏️ Booking & Stay Tips
- Check schedule frequency — Even hotels with shuttles may only run a few times per day; check pickup/dropoff times.
- Book early — Shuttle services can fill, especially for early park arrivals.
- Map distance — Some hotels are closer to certain parks; choose based on your plan (Disney, Universal or a mix).
- Verify park drop-off — Some shuttles drop at central transportation hubs rather than directly at entrance gates.
- Factor in downtime — Use shuttle time to rest, snack, or review your next park plan.
