Car service

[jeff2012]

Going to WDW in September with DW and kids (6,1). Looking for a car service to take us from airport to hotel and vice Versa. Any suggestions as to what service and if the fare is reasonable

When we go to WDW, we get the Disney transportation from airport to resort and back to airport; we check in our bags at home airport, don't see them until we get to resort. And when leving resort, we can check out bags in there and don't see them until we get home to our airport.

I would recommend using DME (Disney's Magical Express). It is free to those staying at a WDW owned resort.
Are you staying at a WDW resort, or offsite?? That will help us give you the best info.

When staying at a Disney owned resort, we use Magical Express. Very easy, and I like not having to deal with luggage after we check in at the airport. Plus, it is included in the cost already so no additional costs.

When we stayed at the Dolphin and couldn't use Magical Express, we used Tiffiany Towncar. It was around $110-$120.

I am staying onsite. We have used the magical express in the past but my wife wants to try a car service. Any ideas as to a company?

Was the Tiffany town car service including gas, tolls, and if needed a carseat?

Yes, it will include everything. You do have to let them know you will want a carseat prior to arrival though.
I have used Tiffany Towncar with very good success.

Just curious on this decision because most people are looking to save money when going to wdw. This is one factor in determining if people stay on or offsite.

Was it because ME got your bags to the room too late or maybe mishandled them.?

Just some extra info. You can still utilize ME and get your bags yourself. Still free shuttle ride to n from resort. Yes it may be a pain to get your bag from the carousel but on the FLIPSIDE you'll have everything you need when checking in @ your resort. No need to wait.

Sorry bout ranting just don't want you to waste any money if you didn't have to that's all..

My issue??? The OP mentioned a 'reasonable fare'....I suppose 'reasonable' is a relative term. I know it's about $115 r/t, for 4 people. Then, you have to add a tip..usually $10 each way.
I just double checked TT's site...they do not have car seats, only booster seats.
With that in mind, how will you be getting to your home airport? If you have a car seat in your car, but plan on leaving it in the car at the airport, you may want to consider bringing it with you to use there. Not sure about the plane ride either. Are you doing your 1 y/o as a lap baby? Or have you purchased a seat for the baby. IF you have purchased a seat, why not bring the car seat and use it on the plane.
Just giving you yet more to worry about and to consider...
