I have used Uber/Lyft and various towncar services - during a trip last spring, surge pricing had me in a Lyft paying nearly $80 one way, which is nearly what Tiffany Towncars, for instance, charges. Most towncar services will give you the option of a grocery stop (obviously less important when staying CL, but always good to have the option), and you will have more confidence in what you're getting, IMO. I booked Tiffany for my upcoming trip, but if you look around the Transportation boards, there are lots of suggestions.
We usually rent a car. Generally, it is faster to have a car than taking a bus (within WDW), and we like having that mobility. We also end to do split stays between WDW and Universal, and sometimes eat offsite. If you decide to get a car, WDW hotel parking costs $25/night. Universal hotels also charge. Universal deluxe hotels are also about $25/night. The moderate and value hotels are less.
My family used FLTours which is a sponsor of the DISBoards. My family was very happy and quite pleased with their service. Everything about it exceeded our expectations. I would use FLTours again. I'm not a bot, just a Northstar and fan.
I've been renting a car so I can leave immediately, less interaction with others, and can drive to parks that aren't monorail connected (or when we stayed at Riviera Skyliner).
So sad to hear! We are staying AKL CL for the first time ever in April as well. Maybe we'll be there same time. @trishadono is going to be there this weekend and said if there were any questions regarding offerings she'd be willing to answer.Good afternoon everyone! Well Covid finally made it's way to our family!
We had to make the very sad, sad, sad, sad, did I sad? decision to postpone our upcoming Saturday trip. Boo! We did reschedule for April and based on current availability, are now staying at AKL CL Savanna view. This is a resort I have never stayed at so I am very excited to try! Now to do some AKL research!
. Nothing is available in April so I was thinking week before Christmas. Thoughts? Hubby was thinking adult only trip. I was on board until I realized my oldest will be in college and U can't leave my youngest alone (with my dad). He will be so bored 
of course I could save them for retirement and get paid then but I prefer vacation.
I emailed about a February trip, and they took about two weeks to get back to me rather than the usual 48 hours, so for a March trip, you’re probably okay.
We were there this year Dec16-21 with Dec 18-21 at WL CL. We spent the beginning of the vacation at RPH Club level at Universal. Universal with express pass was very managable. WDW was very busy. My learning curve on Genie+ made Dec 19 at HS stressful. Monday at MK was better. We did most of what we wanted and were not comandos but taking full advantage of early entry was a must in my opinion. It was busy but I packed my patience and we found ways to amuse ourselves in line. I would have liked to have done more evening hours but my DH was a grump with crowds and my DD 11 was running out of gas because it was a very busy trip. The weather was amazing. The Florida Christmas vibe never clicks for me but the decorations were so lovely.How is the week before Christmas? Is it a zoo? I work in a school and can't take off during the year. However, at the start of.covid the city took away our spring break. 7 days and they didn't pay us. We went to arbitration. The ruling was 7 vacation days to be used whenever we want instead of $$. Of course any other city agency would be paid with actual cash but I lpersonally like the idea of vacation days. I work in public school, my youngest goes to Catholic HS and my oldest will be starting college. I'm thinking this April or the week before Christmas will be the only days that they are both off. College may be a long shot though
