Public Transit
If you’re looking for the cheapest way to get to Disney or Universal, public transportation may seem appealing, but it’s not the most convenient—especially with luggage or small kids.

Time: 90+ minutes
Cost: $2 per ride
Consider this only if you’re traveling extremely light and not in a hurry.
