Cost of a Cab from PO-FQ to Grand Floridian or Valet park???

[Laura's Dad]

My wife has one of the family photo shoots planned for our upcoming November trip. We are taking pictures at the Grand Floridian at 8 am. We are planning on heading over to the MK after the shoot for a 9 am opening and then heading to Epcot via monorail after the parade. Would it be best to take a cab to the GF and then use Disney transport during the rest of the day? If so what would the cost be for 5 people? Or could we valet park our car at the GF and ride back to the GF after Epcot? Will they let us park at the GF all day if we use valet parking? Any help in this matter would be appreciated.

A taxi will cost about $20, plus tip. Valet parking will be $20, plus tip.

If you want to save money you can take the bus. You would need to be at the bus stop by 7:00 am.

Would we ride to the MK then take the Resort monorail to the GF?

Yes.

There is one caveat, though: as of right now, the monorail is undergoing maintenance and is running on reduced hours. They are running buses between MK and the MK area resorts when the monorail is not in service. There is no known end date for the monorail maintenance.

Guess I will have to bite the bullet and do the cab or valet parking.

They have a ferry boat that runs from MK to GF if the monorail is down.
