Just got back from Orlando, didn't hire a car in the end and stayed on international drive in the quality inn plaza. Getting to disney from international drive on the lynx bus or i-ride is quite easy once you get the grasp of the transport system.
From international drive a BIG tip. Sack the i-ride. The i-ride is overcrowded and damn unreliable! (my experience on a number of occasions anyhow)
The lynx busses on the other hand are big, spacious, cool and you usually get a seat!
ok to get to disney from international drive, get the number 8 bus south to sea world, there are lynx signs at the stops which tell you which busses stop there. From sea world you get the number 50 bus to disney. Depending on where you go within disney depends on which is the best place to stop. If you are going to epcot or magic kingdom, stay on the lynx until it gets to the disney ticket and information center, then you can get the disney monorail to epcot or magic kingdom (dont need your disney tickets to use disney transport). If you are going to another park you can either get off at downtown disney and get the disney bus, or you can get off at the ticket and information center and get the bus that way.
THe lynx bus was $1.75 and when you get on ask for a transfer, the driver will then give you a transfer ticket which you use to get on another lynx bus within 90 minutes. Works out cheaper getting the lynx than the i-ride and lynx as the i-ride doesn't go directly to disney.
Sounds confusing but it really is easy. When you get onto the lynx bus there are timetable sheets for a number of bus numbers, grab some and you can arrange your trip to minute accuracy which makes it even more of a breeze!
have fun
