    Here's our dilemma:
    We would like to spend 10 days at WDW staying on site, but would like to do one night at Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios.

    Would it be cheaper to just take a taxi to US for one night for the event, or would it be more beneficial to book one night at US for the event?

    Which option would make more sense convenience-wise and thrift-wise?

    Your help is appreciated!!

    Imagine having to pack up, change hotels, check-in, unpack, go to the event, come back, sleep, pack, check out, and then change hotels again.

    Madness, says I!

    I meant spending one night at US either at the beginning or the end of the WDW trip. Not in the middle! Blasphemy!

    I'd still take a taxi, Magical Express won't work to or from a Universal hotel.

    We used the Mears Van from our WDW Hotel to Universal for one day. Mears is the same company that operates the Magic Express Airport for Disney,etc. The phone # is 407-423-5566. I do not remember the price so I would appreciate if you would add any extra info you decide on. I will probably be visiting both parks in Dec.2010.

The 5 and 10 year old thought they were so cool being at the HRHotel. I amguessing it is still open. ANd the watertaxi is similar to WDW. Nobody asked for hotel i.d.
