Are you going to have your own car? I assume you aren’t.
It also depends if you are wanting the easiest or the cheapest way.
The cheapest way, Universal offers a shuttle bus, you can go to their website to learn more about it, or you can call them or your travel agent to learn more about it or book it.
The easiest way is a private transfer. It is a little more costly, but saves a lot of time.

If you have a car, I would definitely drive. It’s only about a 15-20 minute drive North on I-4.
If you don’t have a car, you have several choices…
You could arrange for transportation with your hotel shuttle if your hotel offers it. If you are staying on disney property, chances are this is not the case.
You could arrange for a shuttle with a company like Mears transportation company. With Mears, a shuttle trip will cost you at least $15 per person roudtrip (this was the cost about 2 years ago when I went, before gas prices became insane). With 1-3 people this is a good alternative. You just call the Mears company the day before you wish to travel and they will pick you up at your resort/hotel. Then when you are ready to return from Universal, you call them back and they will give you the next available shuttle return time to your resort/hotel. Like I said, its not a bad deal for a smaller family.
For a larger family, you could take a cab/van which could be quite costly for a smaller group but a good alternative for a larger clan. You can arrange for a private van or cab (the front desk will contact one for you at your request) and they will pick you up at your hotel and drop you off whenever you want. The same arrangements apply for your return trip. This can be cheaper for those who have maybe 5 or more in their party as two $30 cab rides will be cheaper than a $75 crammed shuttle trip.
My personal recommendation is to rent a car, if possible. Even if its just for one day, a lot of times, unless there are just one or two of you or its during a holiday period, it will be a lot cheaper in the long run. And you can even squeeze in a trip to the local walmart or grocery store for some cheap necessities and/or souvenirs(i.e. bottled water, snacks, diapers, disney tees, etc.) .
Hope this helps!

it’s just as easy to drive yourself as it is to take a bus. you can catch a shuttle from the parking lot to the park, if you have to park way out, which you most likely will. the drive is an easy one and any concierge of a hotel can give you directions. it’s pretty straight forward. and if you drive yourself, you don’t have to be on someone else’s time table.

if you are driving by car —— take I-4 east til you see signs to Universal.
if you don’t have a car,go by taxi or if your hotel/resort has a shuttle.
