How to get to Sea World from Disney resort

We are going to stay at the Disney All Star Movie resort in June, and have booked a dolphin swim at Discovery Cove, and will then have tickets to Sea World (and we might be going to Universal as well). However, we are not hiring a car (just myself and two children) and didnt know if anyone had any ideas about how to get to the other resorts from Disney? Any advice greatly appriciated.

    You will have a ball :j

    When we did Discovery Cove, we took a taxi from Pop Century cost was between $20 to $30.

    On the days we went to Seaworld, we took the Disney bus to Magic Kingdom then the boat across to the Transportation Centre where we got a "local" bus to Seaworld, cost $1.50 I think. You just need to walk through the car park to the entrance.

    One day at Seaworld we stayed for the fireworks and got a taxi back.

    edited to add, we had the 7 day ticket for Seaworld and you can use it before you have your day at DC by going to customer relations at the front gate of Seaworld.

    I think you are referring to the I-ride trolley on International Drive.
    It does stop at the entrance to Sea World at one end so if you can get to I-drive then catching the trolley should not be a problem.
    An alternative is someone like Mears transport. You can book a one way from Disney coach park (not sure if they are allowed on site as it were) to Sea World for around $14 per person.

    I think you would need to book a taxi to get you to Discovery Cove at 8am. You have to queue on arrival which can take a little while then you can pick up your wetsuits, snorkel etc and enjoy your complimentary breakfast. All snacks, drinks, beers, ice-cream etc are included in the price you have paid and lunch runs from 11am-4pm and you can have as many meals as you want. There is also shampoo, conditioner, showergel and towels freely available in all the changing rooms/toilets.

    Yes, you can book the Mears transport to pick you up at Disney resorts but at $14 or so per person you are as well getting a taxi as we found. I think too you need to book a return time slot with Mears whereas at DC they will call a taxi for you when you are ready to leave and we found taxi's in the rank outside the main gate of Seaworld.
