Depending on where you stay, most hotels offer free shuttle service to the parks. Since you are not renting a car, I would make it a priority to find a hotel that has this service. It will save you time and lots of personal stress (TONS of traffic in Orlando). Make sure to contact the hotel you are looking to stay at and have them confirm that they have free shuttle service to the theme parks. You also won't have trouble finding a cab in Orlando.
I am not familiar with The Villas of Grand Cypress Hotel, is that on International Drive? I'm not sure of your budget, but make sure you spend the money to get a decent hotel in Orlando. There are about 8 gazillion hotels to choose from, many of them cheap, so you don't want to be stuck in a dump for 6 days.
Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure/City Walk are all located about 5 minutes from International Drive, which has all the food, shopping and lodging you would probably need for your trip. Disney and it's parks (Epcot, MGM, Blizzard Beach, etc.), which are located in Lake Buena Vista, are a 25-40 minute interstate ride from I-Drive (depending on traffic).

Orlando is a sprawling, premiere tourist destination, especially this time of year. Kids are out of school and families are coming from all over the world to Orlando in the summer. Be prepared for long lines at the theme parks.
Let me know what else I can help with, I'll be more than happy to answer what I can.
