    We would, however, love to go to Universal for one of those days.

    Does anyone have a suggestion for the best / cheapest way to get there? I would assume a taxi would be way too expensive, but I'm really not sure.

    Are there shuttles or rideshare opportunities from CBR?

    All suggestions are helpful. Thanks!

    (Actually, I tried to help, I thought I saw where you could get free shuttle service to US, but I can't find it now)

    Sorry I can't be any more help.

We got there really early to eat at the Hard Rock Hotel for breakfast and then took their water taxi(free)over to the Universal/CityWalk dropoff. Our kids loved walking into the Hard Rock Hotel Lobby.You also might want to consider purchasing Front of the Line Passes online. I found one of those Hotel Travel brochures at the Embassy Suites offering a discount. If anybody else knows of a code for a discount on tickets please post! Good luck and have fun

    It looks like Mears is the way to go. Hard Rock Cafe for breakfast sounds like a good idea, too. That way we're fed and ready to go. Great idea!

    Thanks all.
