Getting to SeaWorld from Walt Disney World

The cheapest way is to take the city bus to SeaWorld from Walt Disney World. The bus is #50 and the fare is $1.75 each way. Be sure to ask the driver to let you off at the front gate of SeaWorld, and ask where to pick up the return bus (also #50). For schedules and further details, visit GoLynx.com.

There are two places where you can catch the city bus at Disney World:

• Ticket and Transportation Center - The trip from here to SeaWorld takes about 37 minutes, stopping at Downtown Disney along the way.

• Downtown Disney - The trip from here to SeaWorld takes about 20 minutes. The stop for the Lynx buses is in the overflow parking lot on the far west side of Downtown Disney. If you are arriving at Downtown Disney on a Disney bus, get off at the Pleasure Island stop and walk through the West Side toward Cirque du Soleil, then around the right (north) side of the Cirque building.

Another option is to rent a car for one day. Click on the link to learn more about how to do this. You can get a one-day rental for as little as $20-$30 plus tax and this option gives you tons more flexibility.

MouseSavers.com reader Lisa H reports in December 2007, "We wanted to go to SeaWorld and found Mears has a shuttle for $16 round trip per person. We were picked up right at [our Disney] resort."

You can take a taxi to SeaWorld from Disney World for around $30 each way, plus tip.

New Attractions

Manta, scheduled to debut on May 22, 2009, is the newest flying roller coaster thrill ride at SeaWorld Orlando. On the ride, visitors will find out what it’s like to spin, glide, skim and fly like a giant ray when they experience the only flying roller coaster of its kind in the world.

• The habitats — Exploring the depths of the sea and roaming among Manta’s freshwater lagoon and saltwater habitats are just part of the new attraction’s thrill. With 10 stunning and uniquely configured aquariums, riders and non-riders alike will find themselves surrounded by the beauty and mystique of Manta’s underwater elements.

• The marine life — More than 3,000 animals live in Manta’s state-of-the-art aquatic habitats, creating mesmerizing face-to-fin encounters with hundreds of rays, thousands of exotic fish and even a giant Pacific octopus.

• The thrills — Manta hits the thrill-seeking mark with a spinning, flying roller coaster inspired by the biggest ray of all. In a flying coaster, the seats rotate horizontally, putting riders in a soaring, face-down position. Four inversions and spins and several close-call thrills put Manta on top of the world’s must-ride coasters.

At RideTheFlyingRay.com, visitors not only learn about Manta, but also are given the chance to win a free photo of themselves on Manta and even exclusive, front-of-the-line access to Orlando’s must-see attraction. See site for full contest rules. Ends 11/30/09.
