Grand Flo to FF & Jiko

[gretchenohar@hotmail]

If I'm taking a bus to Jiko from GF, I think I would take the monorail to MK then transfer to a bus to AK, right? Anyone have any idea how long this will take?
Would I do the same for FF, but get the bus for BW? Again, about how much time should I estimate?
Checked out the cab fare calculator and it looks like the price ranges from $15 - $30 each way (to FF), depending on traffic & route the driver decides to take; with Jiko starting at around $30 each way. Does this jive with what you've experienced? Says the rides will take approximately 15 & 20 minutes respectively.
Taxi really seems so much easier - but I can't justify ~$60 cab fare for each restaurant just for the two of us...
What are your thoughts?
TIA

I would allow an hour.

Thank you.

We took a taxi from the BWI to the Poly last year for approx $20.

Thank you, Kim. That's a lot more reasonable than $30+! Did you know about how much the fare would be before hand, or did you find out at the end?

Just want to point out---you need a bus from the MK to Animal Kingdom LODGE, not to Animal Kingdom PARK.

Thanks for pointing that out, Bob. With my luck, I might not be thinking and actually go to the park, instead of the lodge!

Not the exact amount because taxis are metered and if there is congestion they do charge if the taxi sits in traffic without moving, but we've never run into that problem. We've taken taxis a number of times and it's usually between $15-$20 inc. tip for where we were going. I would guess GF to AKL would be more than $20, but less than $30.

GF to AKL is a few more miles than Poly to BW. It will be at least $21 + tip.
