Is there shuttle transportation from Orlando Universal resorts hotels?|168203

I am planning to stay at the Royal Pacific and am not renting a car. I know that there is transportation to the amusement parks and city walk, but are there are shuttle buses that would take you other places such as outlet malls, etc?

yes

They do not have transportation to certain parks. Not for Disney but they do have for seaworld or wet n wild. They might have buses that may take you to other places but other than that you might have to take a taxi. If you go to wet n wild you can walk to outlet malls they are like 10 20 minutes walk down the road and you will find a zillion stores. Or if not if you go to wet n wild right outside they have like bus stops for buses/trollies that go down i-drive, sand lake road, and such passes by every 15 30 minutes depens where you are going.

dad is wrong! lol always wanted to say that. cause they dont. you use a taxi to get to other place Universal does not have any other transportation to anywhere else.

I don_t think so. However, it is close enough that you can hop on the Lynx bus or I-Drive trolley that will take you to to the outlet malls, restaurants etc!

Has anyone here driven by land up through the interior of Alaska all the way to Prudhoe Bay?|186632

I have a friend who is planning this trip with his four kids...seems like an amazing and insane adventure.

Is it possible? Inadvisable? It will be in June and July.

Any particular dangers they should be aware of? Pardon my naivete, but will it be very cold at night? They are planning on traveling with a tent trailor. Will the polar bears get them? Should he carry a gun? His children are 6, 7, 9 and 10.

I will pass any of your advice along.

I live here in the Interior, North Pole which is just south of Fairbanks. You can drive to Prudoe Bay on a road called the Haul Road. Consists of Dalton and Elliot Highway.

it is mostly gravel and lots of trucks on it. I wouldn_t worry to much about the polar bears it is the wolves and Grisly Bears to be on the look out for. It is a good bet to carry a gun when ever you go camping in Alaska.

They might also want to invest in critter alarms they can put around their tent at night to scare off the critters. Remember at the time of year they are coming it is day light all the time.

The haul road is about 450 miles long to Purdue bay.

I have a blog I have been writing once a week since November of last year. You might find it interesting since it discusses living in the Interior of Alaska.

Your friend should buy a book called the Milepost. If your friend is in Fairbanks, it can be had for a good price at Gullivers Books on College Road. Or buy it from Amazon.
Here_s the link:
http://www.amazon.com/Milepost-2009-Alas��

It tells about the Alaska Highway and all the roads in the state. It lists the campgrounds and has lots of advice, and numbers to call for road reports, etc.
One thing he will find out is that you cannot drive all the way to the Arctic Ocean, because the oil fields are closed to public traffic.
The road north of Fairbanks is rough and people get flat tires or holes in their windshields from rocks thrown by passing trucks. Your friend will want to carry more than one spare tire, and the big ones, not the tiny ones that sometimes come with cars. He will want to make sure that the trailer and hitch are stout enough to handle the rough road. The Dalton Highway is primarily a truck route for equipment going to the oil fields. Big tractor-trailer rigs and truck trains are on the road and collisions would be tragic.
The weather will be fine in June and July. You can go to www. wunderground.com to check on what the weather was like at places like Coldfoot and Deadhorse and Prudhoe last year. It will be chilly in the mountains.
There will be mosquitoes. You can count on it. There may be bears.
Usually not polar bears, but with global climate change I can_t say that there won_t be. A polar bear left the arctic last year and ended up all the way south to the Yukon River.
I think it_s great that your friend is planning an adventure with his kids. Just get all the facts first, to make sure that you know what you are getting yourself into, so you can be prepared and have fun. If it looks like the situation is not what you wanted it to be, there are some other really fun drives, such as going just as far as Coldfoot or the Yukon River, or driving down to the ocean at Homer and Seward, or camping in Denali National Park, or riding the Alaska Marine Highway System.
Another great resource are the Public Lands Information Centers. There is one in Anchorage and the one in Fairbanks is at the Morris Thompson Center. They can tell you about the camping facilities on public lands such as National Parks, etc. and they have great visitor programs.
