Windsor Palms Shuttle

I am often asked by guests of my homes in Windsor Palms and Windsor Hills how the shuttle service to Disney World and the theme parks operates.  This can be a convenient way of getting to the parks if you do not want to use a rental car or if you have a larger party who wants to do different things during the day.

The shuttle service from Windsor Palms  and Windsor Hills is operated by Maingate Transportation. The shuttle from both the Windsor resorts goes to all the main Disney theme parks – Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom. Shuttles from Windsor Palms are also available to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, Sea World, Wet N’ Wild, and the Orlando Premium Outlets.

You must make reservations at least 1 hour in advance with Maingate Transportation for all of the shuttle services by calling 407 390 0000

The exact schedule will vary each month and is not published in advance. But in general there are 2 pick ups each morning for the Disney parks at the Windsor Palms and Windsor Hills clubhouses.  Return times vary too but Magic Kingdom and Epcot tend to have 3 pick ups with Disney Hollywood Studios having 2 pick ups and Animal Kingdom just one shortly after closing time.

The current price of the shuttle from Windsor Palms resort to the Disney parks is $10 per person return.

Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure usually has 2 pick up times in the morning.  All pick up and return times vary month to month – the schedule is based on demand so the busier months will tend to have more pick up and return times.  The rate for a return trip to Universal Studios is $14 per person.

Sea World is $11 per person, Wet N’ Wild is $14 per person and the Orlando Premium Outlets are $10 per person.

All of the shuttles pick up and drop off at several locations including Windsor Hills, Grand Lake Resort and Holiday Inn.  So you can expect to make a lot of stops along the way or on your return.

If you would like more detailed information then you can contact Maingate Transportation directly on 407 390 0000.  They also operate taxi services. If you have a large party then a taxi may be more practical and also save on cost.

I would love to hear from anyone who has tried the shuttle service from Windsor Palms or Windsor Hills about the experience that they had and whether they would recommend it.
