Thank you so much for this easy guide! It helped with my nerves! It looks SO much easier than the end of the Disney Magical Express did...Waited for that bus literally an hour, felt like an idiot for not getting a Uber.

You're so welcome! We love the SuperStar - sometimes it can take awhile for the bus to get from the airport to your hotel, since it makes multiple stops, but we've yet to wait longer than 10 minutes to actually board the bus when arriving at the airport and heading over to Universal Resort property. 😁 Definitely a little less chaotic and better-managed than the late, great Magical Express!

Totally see where taking rideshare vehicles would definitely save money for larger groups! The real advantage of the SuperStar shuttle is convenience over cost, but you can *almost* break even on cost if you have a smaller group too. Either way, we just wanted to put the information out there! 😁 Thanks for watching, glad we helped to inform your decisions!

My arrival to Orlando will be well outside of the concierge hours. I don’t understand where I would get my blue book/ itinerary or what the phone call would entail.
@timandkt 2 ай бұрын
The phone call is not a required step, it's just a support line where a Universal/Mears employee will remain available off-hours to help guide you to the bus if you run into any issues. The map and instructions you receive by text, however, should give you the same directions. If you arrive outside of the standard concierge hours it is my understanding that you would not collect a blue book at the airport and would instead go on to get your tickets from the hotel when you arrive. 😊

So I have a question. If I get there around 11pm, will I still be able to get the shuttle to take me to the resort? I had bought the round trip along with my package. I also have to leave the resort around 5 am will the shuttle still come to take us to the airport?
@junipeebugz 2 жыл бұрын

@timandkt 2 жыл бұрын
Yes! You’ll want to call the number listed in your email (and in our video) to verify the bus’ position/parking spot when you arrive, since concierge will be closed by 11pm - but rest assured the shuttle will be there at the airport ready to collect you. The same goes for your early departure on the way back; we, too, caught a very early flight back once, and SuperStar collected us at around 4:30am out in front of our resort! 🙂

Great video.. Headed to Universal next month Sapphire Falls same as you! I have read some pretty bad reviews. Was there a wait for shuttle and does it make alot of stops? Just want to get there quickly! Were you happy with it? Thanks for any info!!
@timandkt 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks so much! Waits can vary for SSS at the airport, but we’ve never waited longer than 15-20 minutes - the bus is almost always there, so they’re just filling it up with booked passengers. As far as stops, hard rock always seems to come first and then dockside/surfside, followed by cabana bay, sapphire falls and adventura. The good news, though, is that the hotels are all so close together at universal that ‘multiple stops’ really just feels like one stop with multiple platforms 😁 We swear by the shuttle and take it every time we stay on property, definitely recommend!

How does the Super Star Shuttle work when you're going from Cabana Bay Resort to MCO? Do they give you a time to take the shuttle? Or can we schedule a time to get picked up at a specific time?
@timandkt 2 жыл бұрын
We actually got picked up from Cabana Bay to head back to MCO on a recent trip! You don’t get to pick a time, unfortunately. You log your flight information with the system when you book the shuttle, and then they’ll consolidate other travelers with similar departure times into the same shuttle group and provide you with an estimated pickup time (no less than 2.5 hours before your flight) - our pickup was around 5am for an 8am flight. Early morning, but worth it for the convenience of not having to figure out a rental situation 😁
@erikasanchez3755 2 жыл бұрын
Do you know what is the best time to arrive at MCO to avoid big crowds on the bus? We are taking a trip in September.
@timandkt 2 жыл бұрын
The bad news is that there really isn't a 'slow' time of day, week or year for MCO at this stage, as it's actually the seventh-busiest airport in the country. Universal/Mears will always try to fill the bus to capacity, to the best of their ability; it's really just luck of the draw as to how many people are on which bus. The good news, though, is that SuperStar Shuttle never seems to take as long to arrive and/or depart as the Magical Express, and it has less distance to cover and fewer hotels to reach - so you're in for a short ride even if the bus is crowded. 😊 You're going to have a fantastic time!

Hi, can you provide the website of the superstar shuttle for booking online?
@timandkt 2 жыл бұрын
It’s actually just the Universal Orlando website! 😁 There is no direct link. When you purchase a vacation package, you’ll be asked if you wish to include airport transportation via the superstar shuttle - if so, check ‘yes’ and they will then email you after the fact to sync up your flight information. If you’ve booked a room-only reservation, you’ll have to call to add the superstar shuttle to the stay, as it won’t otherwise be included.

@timandkt 2 жыл бұрын
That I’m afraid I don’t know; we’ve only ever purchased through UOR directly. From looking at the Undercover Tourist website just now, I would assume not - it seems like this service must be booked through Universal in order to guarantee synchronization. However, if you find a workaround, feel free to share! 😎

@@ledster9937 You should still be on the bus’ boarding list regardless of whether you formally check in with concierge or via the Helpdesk line, so if anything I would call before you arrive just to find out where the bus is parked. If you aren’t able to call ahead or won’t have a phone onsite, you can also ask at the airport information desk if the Universal SuperStar Shuttle has a designated parking area for the day of your arrival. If you can find the bus and provide a last name, you should be able to board no problem.
