Surprising them with a LIMO... HELP

[SnowandMittens]

Not only am I surprising my little sister (9) with a trip to Disneyworld. (The trip started as just us and grew to 6 people!) But now I have the bright idea of surprising our entire party with a limo on the way to the hotel.

This started out because my mom wanted to order groceries from Garden Grocer, and the fact she'd be paying $15.00 for delivery, plus the horrible experience we had with ME last time, I'm thinking that a one-way limo transport would be nice... and if I can swing a round trip, it'd be even better.

So... Disers who have taken limos before... any recommendations or prices? The last thing I want to do is pay a company that isn't super .

We used www.happylimo.com and had a great experience. They will stop for a grocery trip for you on the way to the resort. www.mousesavers.com has a coupon for a discount. We were upgraded to a stretch navigator on the way back to the airport. Driver was at the bottom of the escalator waiting for us and was very professional. I would recommend them to you.

Thanks for the quick response... I would also like to add that we want to be able to maybe pay about $10.00 more or so to have the driver holding balloons when we arrive... do you know if Happy Limo does this?

Yes, I believe they will do this for you. It might be a bit more difficult with luggage and such, but I don't see why they can't. We had the sign say Happy Birthday and our son's name on it. He was so surprised. They will work with you to do what they can do within the limits/restrictions of the airport.

You're a great sister! Enjoy your trip.

As for price - you can probably count on the total cost being somewhere around $240 round trip. That would include the limo, tip for the driver, tolls, fees, etc. One way would probably be slightly more than 1/2 that amount.

The three most common businesses I have seen on here are happylimo.com, fltours.com, and tiffanytowncar.com

There are definitely others as well.

Just booked with Fl-tours!

The one way limo ride from MCO to POP, five or six baloons, Happy Birthday Sage! written on the sign, a red carpet rolled out and 2 - 3 bottles of sparkling cider in the limo is running me $135.00

That's without my Dis discount, which makes me VERY happy.
