Idk yet if I'm driving my pickup up there but if I do end up driving I might be able to pick ya up. How far is it from the Hyatt?

If you cannot find a ride and don't mind going a little out of the way, I would suggest taking a shuttle that goes to and from Midway and O'Hare and once at O'Hare, get on the free shuttle to the hotel. It's a heck of a lot cheaper than a taxi. I cannot remember the exact price, though.

that is probably going to be my fall back plan for sure. thanks! ^^

^ I'd have to agree with Ves on this. ^

I cannot remember how much he paid for the taxi TO the Hyatt, but I remember paying about 70-80 FROM the Hyatt to Midway when we left. :I Best to save money on things like that!

i also just saw the amtrak goes to the hyatt...well not right to the hyatt but pretty damn close. think ill snag an amtrak ride for 2.25 lol

Wish we had known about this last year! D: I could have returned with like 100 dorrah leftover haha

Gonna be visiting a buddy in Milwaukee for the first half of week this year, then riding up with him on Thursday, though. Gonna save us some monies! :D

If you are taking the amtrak from wherever you are to Chicago, it is very easy to get to the Hyatt. It does involve some walking though. Just a few blocks.

This is my route that I take every year. I get off of the train and exit the station towards Clinton (or something like that) road, and turn left to go to the metro. Then I just take that all the way to the Hyatt, exit that station and walk the quarter or half mile to the hotel. The MFF website should have a map and these directions on there as well.

though...that takes a good hour and twenty minutes x.x

True, but you're getting in at like 2:20! You'll have plenty of time until the pre-reg shiz starts that evening! :P

-whines-

If I was driving there, I'd help you out. D:

Bats gotta look out for bats.

i need to learn how to fly haha

OH OH OH ME ME ME ME ME.
I am a Chicagoan and I know how to get to where you need!

Now taxis...are expensive as hell would not recommend. Don't know much about shuttle buses but there is one to get to Rosemont. HOWEVER LISTEN UP TO WHAT I AM GONNA TELL YA.

Ok I suggest using public transportation for this. Both airports are connected by two train lines, the blue and orange line.
Midway is Orange, O'Hare is blue. So, I suggest taking the orange line train downtown to a stop where you can transfer to the blue line. Then take the blue line heading to O'Hare and ride it until you get to the Rosemont stop. This stop directly leads to the hotel district where the Hyatt Regency is. Now I am guessing this is where the shuttle bus comes in but I do not know much about it so it might take a bit of research. It is a bit of a walk to the hotel if you decide not to take a shuttle bus but it's an easy path.

As to how the public transportation works, ask an employee to explain it needed. The fares are $2.25 for the first ride, and if you get onto another bus/train run by the CTA within two hours of your last ride you get charged 80 cents.

if you want to get to know the stops for these two train lines, here are the links below. they will give you lots of information.

It is a hell of a lot easier and cheaper to use the public transportation here, trust me, I live in Chicago.

I hope you find this helpful!

One of the lines had a stop that is right next door to the hotel. I cannot tell you which one it is because I am not familiar with the CTA lines.

there are no train lines that go directly to the hotel. the blue line gets you very close, it's the most reliable line for getting to the hotel districts in Rosemont.

yea, i heard about the train system ^^ I'm despising it due to how long it takes. by MFF's site, it appears to take 70 minutes. which is better than spending who knows how much in taxis lol it might be my last resort if anything.

70 minutes? 0.0

it's never taken me that long before. but hey, its just an option.

how long has it taken you?

at most an hour. but usually takes 40 minutes or so.
the orange line can be a bit slow but the blue line is really fast.

hm ill take ya word for it. if all else fails the amtrak it is!

I could probably pick you up. I can leave work early and shoot over there and pick you. I'll even cover the gas...lol.

pfft! i'm paying for gas! I know the commute is long between the two PLUS I'm sure I'm getting in when traffic starts to get bad. anywho, I think I might have a ride settled out actually. once mff gets closer I'll get a better idea.

If you still are looking for a ride, im coming from Ohio, so its in line from where im coming from. Have to drive pretty much right next to it. I can pick you up no problem and then head straight to the hotel. Its only me in my car so there will be room for your bags as well. Thought id offer, and no worries about giving me gas money either ^^

people are too nice! i'm just gonna throw my money on your dash lol well, I might have a ride. Once mff gets closer i'll have a better idea on the ride situation. i really appreciate it and you might be hearing back from me :D

Sounds good, well i hope everything works out. my offer is always available to ya

thank you very much :3

ill see ya there :O I know the feelin lol my ride just got changed today as well XD

I would recommend the Orange Line to Blue Line as stated above if you don't have too much to carry. it's probably a 1.5 hour commute, but takes you right to the Hyatt O'Hare train stop. However, if you arrive during or catch rush hour, could be bad times.

Could talk to me and knight , since we're on your same flight :p

i was trying to find a super shuttle for us, but there doesn't seem to be one, and all I found were taxis x.x which in the end would be tough for all three of us to fit our stuff in the trunk. otherwise, there's that amtrak system that $2.25 but can take up to an hour to hour and a half to get to where we need to go
