At this point, we plan to do the beach on our own. I don’t see much incentive on paying DCL the extra money for this particular excursion. From everything I have read, there should be a large number of cabs waiting by the dock/beach and we can just grab one of those to head back and forth.
The DCL run excursion only provides the transport back and forth, water and the $4.00 admission per person on the beach (I think it is $4 per person). You still have to rent your own floats and pay for food if you want either. They also appear to limit the return trip to between 1:30 and 2:00pm. If you want to come back outside of this time you have to pay for your own transport. They want $37 per child and $47 per adult.
I am not positive on the taxi rates but I would guess beach admission and the taxi ride both ways for the six of us will be well less then the $262 we would have to pay DCL.
