Shuttle bus

Question

We are staying at lake bueno vista resort, booked through Virgin on its website it states unlimited use of shuttle to and fro the parks, on hotel website it shows only 2 in the morning and back about 5-6, has anyone stayed there and used this service + can tell me how often the shuttles run, also are taxi’s with child seats available for younger children?

Answer

Lake Buena Vista Resort in Orlando offers a shuttle service to the major theme parks, which can sometimes be a bit confusing due to differing information on booking platforms versus the hotel’s official website. Based on guest experiences, the shuttle service is typically limited rather than truly "unlimited," with scheduled departures in the morning and return trips in the late afternoon or early evening. This usually means around two trips to each park in the morning and two returns in the late afternoon.

The shuttle schedule is generally designed for convenience rather than flexibility, so if you plan to spend a full day at a park or need multiple trips throughout the day, the resort shuttle may not cover all your needs. It's also important to arrive early as shuttles can fill up quickly during peak season.

For families traveling with young children, taxis and ride-share services like Uber or Lyft can accommodate child seats, but availability may vary:

Uber Car Seat (UberX with Car Seat) – Available in Orlando, but you typically need to request this in advance and there is an additional fee.
Lyft Car Seat – Similar to Uber, you can request a ride with a car seat through the app, though availability can be limited.
Local Taxi Services – Some taxi companies provide child seats if requested at the time of booking, but it’s recommended to confirm directly with the company beforehand.

If convenience and flexibility are important, especially with children, many families opt to supplement the shuttle service with either a rental car or rideshare services for midday returns or late departures from the parks. This ensures you’re not tied to the fixed shuttle schedule and can travel with proper child restraints when needed.

Overall, the Lake Buena Vista Resort shuttle is a helpful perk for park access, but planning for additional transportation options is recommended if you want a more flexible itinerary or are traveling with young kids.
