Happy Limo- 2 Pick ups ok???

[son3disfan]

Just off the phone with a reservation with Happy Limo.

A very nice agent named Wally said "OK" to a pick up at Poly, then a drive to Animal Kingdom to pick up our friends. I repeated, "Are you sure this is Ok?"
and he said "well I think so...", then asked a co worker who said to put it in as a grocery stop.

I'm a little uneasy...especially when he said "JUST TELL HIM YOU ARE PICKING UP SOME GROCERIES AT ANIMAL KINGDOM,(then laughed) THEN SLIP HIM A NICE TIP.."

You know that feeling that you get when something doesn' t feel right....

I would hate to get a driver with attitude who says he can't do it. Even though it would be much quicker then a grocery stop.

Anyone have experience with two pick ups? Care to share...

Here is my recent review of our experience with Happy Limo on Nov 29th. I'd definitely get it in writing! They either can do it or not for you...to say, "Just give a good tip" is unprofessional in my eyes. You may get a driver like ours (read below) who will say I can't make another stop . . . .I have another pickup. So if anything get it in writing the exact locations of pickups!



We just got back from our Thanksgiving 2009 Trip . . . Thurs to Sun at GF and then a 4 night Disney Cruise. We had a wonderful time

After much planning and researching I had to put up a review on the boards.

I was going back and forth with who to use for our transportation from the resort to the port. There were many mixed reviews. So I decided to give Happy Limo a try.

The good experience with Happy Limo:

1. The driver was on time (most important thing)
2. Got us to the port on time (most important thing)
3. The limo was clean and there was a disney movie playing


The bad experience with Happy Limo:

1. THE DRIVER'S ATTITUDE!

The minute he got out of the car he had an attitude, like it was a bother he was taking us and it was like he had a "chip on his shoulder". Ok, I just reminded myself, we all have bad days, it's early, he is here on time, that was the important thing. But then again, I'm paying almost $200 for him to take us on a 45 minute trip, I shouldn't have to deal with someone with an attitude.

So we arrive at the port and we were about a 1/2 hour early. Again, no big deal to us because I wanted to be there early. I knew we'd be there early. He was talking to one of the workers when we pulled up . . . I guess deciding where to pull up and park. So he said YOU NEED TO GET OUT HERE! I'M GOING TO LEAVE YOUR LUGGAGE ON THE CURB SINCE THE GATES AREN'T OPEN YET. My husband simply verified "We need to wait right here?" . . . and the driver with an attitude says "I HAVE ANOTHER PICKUP. I CAN'T STICK AROUND I HAVE NO TIME TO WAIT" Again, my husband did not remotely or expect him to stick around at all ... all he was doing was verifying this was where we have to wait.

So when it was time to tip him my DH gave him $20. The driver walked away looked at what he gave him turned and looked over his shoulde, raised his hands up in the air and then got in the car and drove off. He's lucky he got that!

Just so everyone knows . . . I don't expect someone to bend over backwards for us. I've been in the service business for many years and had to keep a smile on my face for many rude people. It was his whole attitude that was the issue. There is always a way to say the exact same thing to someone, it doesn't need to be said with an attitude.

And it's ashame, my DH is a great tipper. The gentleman that helped us with our luggage from our room at the GF and drove us over to the front entrance was great. Again, he wasn't bending over backwards for us . . . he was very polite and we had a nice conversation with him. I had tipped him $10 when he got to our room, my DH gave him another $10 when we got to the front of the lobby.

Anyways.....just wanted to post this review.

I booked over the phone and our documents haven't arrived (by email) yet,
so I will definately get it in writting somewhere on the form. Thanks.

Thing is , I have a car the morning of our pick up. I can drive down to pick up our friends , then drop off the rental car, and wait for the limo together at the Poly, but I was trying to save the running around that early in the morning.

Anyone ever have 2 pick ups ( two differnt stops?)
