Looking for "private" driver from Airport to Disney

[Mickeydad]

We've used a "private" driver that did pick us up at the airport and took us to our resort.

We've been renting a car, but our next trip we are thinking about getting a driver again to take us roundtrip from the airport to the resort.

If you have a name and contact info, I would appreciate it.

Thanks!

Well...even though you are a Yankee Fan I'll share...

Have you considered using Disney's Magical Express? It is a free service between the airport and WDW. Once at the airport you simply head to the Magical Express area (1st Floor, B Side) and hop on one of the buses (luxury coach style, not WDW-transportation style). Disney takes care of collecting your luggage and it will be brought to your resort separately. It really is a very convenient service. We have always found them quick and efficient.

If you do want to go with a car service there are several in the WDW area. I've heard good things about Tiffany Town Car and Happy Limo, although I do not have experience with either.

Have a great trip!

We have used a limo service on a couple of occasions. I am relatively unhappy with both companies. Not sure if I can post the company names.
I may use this service again in the future, but neither of these companies will get my future business.

we have had very good experience with FL Tours....have used them a few times for DCL cruise transfers....professional, punctual and reasonably-priced.

Also love just using ME to go from MCO - Resort and back. Free=Good

Just to clarify, I'm NOT referring the companies MouseMom has mentioned above.

I just don't get why folks would want to spend the money on a private limo? ME is free, and Wego Shop or Garden Grocer can certainly bring what groceries and alcohol one needs to the resort. Many people spending unneccesary $$ in my opinion.

For us, it's super convenient, no screaming kids, and the bar is always open on the way to the resort.

When you ride with us, it's truly a big party...

You have never been with me on DME. I'm the one screaming and counting down as we approach the WDW sign. Vodka goes undetected in my water bottle and I have a captive audience of about 60 people to party with.

Some folks like that personal level of service. It's not an option I prefer (I typically rent a car) but I can see why someone might enjoy it and find value in the money spent. Many of the folks I know who get a towncar *also* get groceries delivered rather than do it themselves.

We've always used Tiffany Towncar , no problems and happy with the service.

We have used Happy Limo and had excellent service. Great drivers, reliable, courteous. They were waiting at baggage claim with a sign for us and helped with the luggage. Return trip to the airport we were upgraded to a stretch Navigator.

www.happylimo.com and www.mousesavers.com has a discount code.

http://www.tiffanytowncars.com/tc_rates.html is another company with great reviews.

Because it was nicer than DME for us on our last trip. The advantage of using DME is the luggage delivery service. We arrived after 10:00 p.m. so we had to get our bags anyway. Down one floor to the car and out the door. It was a great way to get to the resort. Having used each once I would probably opt for a car service again even if we arrive during normal luggage delivery hours. It is not that much money and is all part of the cost of the vacation.

Have used FLTours twice for our return to MCO. My husb and I usually rent a car, but when I did a girls trip with my daughter and then with a friend we used DME to get to the resort and then FLTours for our return trip to the airport. We thought the cost was worth it for that extra hour and 15 min at the resort. I personally want to soak up every minute of Disney magic that I can. Drivers were punctual and extremely courteous and friendly. Sedan was also very clean and comfy. If you can afford the splurge, the ride is much more enjoyable a return to the airport than DME.

How would we go about getting groceries delivered to our resort room? I've never done that before.

www.gardengrocer.com is an online grocery delivery service. We used them in April and it was great. You go on and select your items. We had water, doritos, breakfast items like bagels, cream cheese, muffins, juice, etc. all sorts of stuff to just keep in the room. You select a time to have it delivered - there is a window. We weren't arriving until late at night so we chose a later in the day time slot and they will bring your food to the resort. When you arrive and check in you can tell bell services you have a food delivery and they will bring it up to you. They will keep any cold items in a fridge for you and then you can have it there for you for the week. There is a delivery fee, but I don't think it is that much. $12 or so. It worked great for us.

Here is another...WeGo Shop. I have only used Garden Grocer, but WeGo Shop also gets rave reviews. http://www.wegoshop.com/

Many, many people have varying reasons for using a car service. I use them on occasion...depends on what kind of trip I have planned. Usually, I do agree with you...why spend $120+ just for a ride. You can get to the resort on DME, free of charge, and have a grocery delivery made. Works for me. But there have been times when we have wanted to privacy of a towncar service.

If you decide to go with DME, you can still get groceries. I've used....www.wegoshop.com and www.gardengrocer.com.
They do charge a delivery fee of between $12-15, and you can tip the delivery person. They deliver the order right to the resort, usually to the room if you are in it. I've also used netgrocer.com but they don't do any perishables.
