Quick Transfers question

[zippy99]

So on yet another wet and miserable bank holiday - what better way to spend it than with some holiday planning!

Now we have established our plans properly and where we are staying I had a few questions that I was hoping to get some help with now we have ditched the car hire.

1) When we arrive at MCO at 18.30 ish we need to get to Universal RPR, according to fare estimators we can get a Taxi for around $45, do they have a taxi rank or is this something we need to book?

2) When we transfer on Saurday 25th to CBR, we know our room may not be ready but are we able to 'check in' and get our disney tickets etc and leave our bags with the concierge and head off into the world and come back later to our room when ready?

3) We booked through US Disney site so although we wont be using ME to get to CBR am i right in thinking we can use it to get back to the Airport at the end of our stay - again does this need to be booked in advance?

Many thanks for assistance as always

Sorry, can't help with from the airport as we either have a car or use ME.

You can check in to CBR as early as you like - you will get your KTTW cards and they will take a number to text you when your room is ready although this doesn't always work so you may have to go back.

Yes, you can book ME one way only and it needs to be done in advance. I can post the link for you later as it is saved on my mac.

I would book a town car, we have used Tiffany & Sams both from Sanford. Tiffany were good & Sam was excellent. You can have a 30 min stop for shopping, so you could stock up on water, beer, snacks which would cut your costs.

There's hundreds of taxis at MCO. Just follow the signs for the taxi rank.

Many thanks ME all booked!

And thanks Sharon for the town car advice we were looking at a regular taxi but $60 for Tiffanys including the Publix stop for beer,wine & water sounds good.

does that magic express operate 24 hours a day ? or do i need to time flights so we arrive when its operating

I did hear a time when the ME stops, but iirc it was in the wee hours (and might also coincide with last flights anyhow) - unless you're flying indirect and have a *very* unsocial arrival time you won't have a problem.

OT - we've used Tiffany's in the past (though admittedly that's not very recently), always been great.

They will be waiting for you with your name on a sign, always great to just get you're luggage & relax in the air conditioned car. 30 mins is ample time for a shop as well.
