Also, let me encourage you to post the day and time you will be arriving at the Orlando airport: http://www.yapcna.org/yn2016/wiki?node=ArrivalsAndDepartures Since MCO is many miles from the DoubleTree hotel, taxi fares, etc., are non-trivial.

If you post your arrival time, you may be able to find someone to split the cost of this transportation segment with. Looking forward to YAPC! Thank you very much.

For YAPC 2014 I used public transit (I dont drive) to get to Disney from the hotel. Since the bus infront of the DT DT Orlando in? 2014 ran once an hour, and didn't run at all on sundays from 10AM to 3 PM, its was truly truly crap. Seems in 2 years Lynx bus got some more $$$$$ and now there are 2 buses an hour every day and proper weekend service. Also since 2014, Lynx started a new free bus route that kindda goes near DT DT Orlando Link 63 ? Orange-North Quarter Line . But anyways, in 2014 I always used the hotel shuttle to drive me to and from Lynx Central Station or if the shuttle wasn't available, I just walked in the melting sun to Lynx Central Station along Orange Ave. In 2014 I just once ever caught the 102 bus that is supposed to serve the hotel. Specifically I used Lynx Bus 50 from Lynx Central Station (big bus terminal in DT Orlando) to Disney. Bus 50 runs express down I4 for 25-30 minutes from Lynx Central Station to theme park areas. Riding in an articulated bus at 65-70 mph down the interstate was quite an experience, I thought the tail of the bus would wag like a dog and the bus flips over or jack knifes but it didnt.? Bus 50 winds down International Drive (AKA all non-Disney tourist things to do), and then enters Disney Property.? The official Lynx Transit to Disney Transport transfer is at Disney Ticket and? Transportation Center http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=nr0t6v861jvb&lvl=18&sty=o&form=LMLTCC There is one other Lynx to Disney transfer point AFAIK but it requires a longish walk through the Disney Springs (AKA Disney Downtown) park to get from the Lynx stop http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=nqvsjm865n8n&lvl=18.9&dir=0.27&sty=o&form=LMLTCC to the Disney Transport stop http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=nqvd9j8665bq&lvl=19.89&dir=358.84&sty=o&form=LMLTCC or a longer walk through Disney Springs http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=nqw0tx866ckz&lvl=19.1&dir=1.34&sty=o&form=LMLTCC . You can also get out of Disney Springs to the rest of Disney with the ferry (slow as hell). I suggest using Lynx to Disney Ticket and? Transportation Center transfer point and not messing around with Lynx to Disney Springs for time reasons. Also Disney Springs has NO Disney Transport connection to any other Disney theme park http://www.wdwfocus.com/img/map/wdw-transport-map-full.png . You must always take a Disney Transport bus from Disney Springs to a Disney hotel/resort, then wait for a Disney transport bus from the hotel/resort to the theme park. This is intentional to discourage you from using Disney Springs as free parking for one the of the paid Disney theme parks. Disney World is designed to be car-free, with the monorail, ferries and Disney Transport buses. You only need a car (or Lynx bus) to enter and leave/get on and get off Disney property Disney Transport bus system is free for anyone to use, no questions asked. No fare boxes, no tapping your Disney RFID ticket card, you show nothing to the driver. ________________________________ > Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2016 15:23:26 +0300 > Subject: (Public) transportation to Amusement parks and Kennedy Space Center > To: yapc at pm.org > From: yapc at pm.org > > Hi, > > I was wondering if anyone could point me to some information on > the ways to get from the YAPC venue at DoubleTree to the big amusements > parks in Orlando (Disney World, Universal Studios, Seaworld) and to the > Kennedy Space Center. > > Is there any option for public transportation or shuttles from the > hotel or is the only option renting a car? > > regards > Gabor > > > _______________________________________________ yapc mailing list > yapc at pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/yapc From vroom at blockstackers.com Fri Jun 17 16:50:38 2016 From: vroom at blockstackers.com (Tim Vroom) Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2016 19:50:38 -0400 Subject: (Public) transportation to Amusement parks and Kennedy Space Center In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: There may be bus/van tours for KSC (and perhaps other attractions) that will pick up at hotels and take you there.

We ended up renting a car at Dollar Rent A Car which has an office in the Crown Plaza on Colonal Dr. about half a mile away and went to KSC already. It was great. We also used Uber to get to Universal Studios and back for $12 each direction which seems like a very good price. Thanks everyone for all the help!
