Port Orleans to Sea World

[Sorsha]

OK, a couple of questions... hopefully you guys can help me out.
We will be in WDW in September, want to take the kids to Sea World for one day. We will not have a car. We do not want to use Lynx buses. As we figure it, our options for transportation that day include towncar services or a taxi.
1) Which would you do? Why? If a towncar, which company would you recommend?
2) I know that towncar services will provide carseats and/or boosters for the little ones. Will taxis do this? If so, how do you arrange this?
3) What's the cost difference? I have done some internet research on the towncar companies, and see that most of them charge about $65 for a roundtrip in a van (we have 5 people, so can't fit in a towncar). I know taxi fees will vary based on traffic conditions and such, but what's the average fare to/from Sea World in a taxi?
4) If using a taxi, do you arrange for a pick-up time when they drop you off? Or just call for a new taxi? Or are there taxis usually just lurking about outside of Sea World waiting for a fare?
5) Can a taxi even carry 5 people??
TIA!

I'm not familier with the taxis but I will bump this up for you so that hopefully someone can answer for you.

Sorry I don't have any info on taxis. Just wanted to let you know that we're a family of 5 & we've booked Sunray Transportation for our transportation to SeaWorld in May. We'll need 1 carseat for DD2 and 2 boosters which were included in the $60 fare round trip to SeaWorld. We've never used them I've read a lot of positive threads on these boards and so far their customer service has been great. Very quick on responding to my questions and I had to change our SeaWorld day and they were fine w/that.

I've read on these boards somewhere that you can get a taxi van w/car seats but I think you'd need to call ahead and give the taxi company ample time to fill that request. Never done this just restating what I read on another thread. I think we're going to do this to go to DTD in May instead of the buses and I was just going to ask the front desk when we checked in on how to do it. We may do it a couple times. Hopefully someone will post a more helpful post on the taxis. Or try to do a search for taxis and Seaworld.

Good luck and have fun!

Not sure about the taxis but you could also rent a car just for the day you go to seaworld and either pick it up at swan & dolphin or the car care center by MK. They will shuttle you from your hotel to pick it up and return it.

Thanks to all for the responses!
Sunray was one of the companies I had looked at, thanks for the positive review on them! I just may give them a try!
Anyone else have any more taxi info?
Having to arrange way in advance to have the carseats in a taxi was one of the reasons I figured on just going with a towncar comapny...
