ISO ground transportation for group

[WDWNana]

We are coming into Orlando International and are looking for an option to get us to and from the airport to the Grand Floridian at WDW.

There are 13 of us total (5 are children ages 5,4,3,2 and 6mos). We know the Magic Express is available to us since we are staying on Disney property, but we want to look at hiring our own transportation. We also know that it will take a while to get to WDW on the Magic Express due to all the stops, that is why we are considering a different option.

Can anyone give us some ideas? Will the transportation people be able to handle kids since they will be needing car seats? Will it cost us an arm and a leg?

Has anyone done anything similiar to this?

Any ideas and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Julie

Julie,

You might look for two companies that have SUV's or vans for your group. The 3,2, and 6 month old need the baby seats. The 4 year old can use the regular seat belts, but if you choose you can ask for a baby seat or booster. You should specify a rear facing baby seat for the 6 month old baby. It is hard to put 4 seats in one vehicle. You should be able to find companies that will accommodate you. Right off hand I can think of Murray Hill and Sunray who have been mentioned on these boards. There are others and it doesn't hurt to shop around. Here is a link to the companies you might find transportation from.

You will pay approximately $200.00 for round trip transportation, for both vehicles, if you choose not to take the DME. Of course you will have the car seats, grocery shopping and usually a bit faster trip to WDW with the car service..
