Taxi From I-Drive To The Parks

[Snowy-girls]

Hi Everyone,
Has anyone used taxi's recently from I-Drive(we will be staying at the Embassy Suites near the convention centre) to the parks or Downtown Disney+if yes what was you charged+who did you use?(do they take a 7+3yr old without car-seats-do you have to ask for them?).
I have been on Mears website+put in the details,but was just wondering how accurate they were in there guess.Thanks everyone in advance.x.

This year we took a taxi from Fort Wilderness to the prime outlet on i drive and i think it was about $30. My dd was 4 and never needed a car seat or booster, but when we were there when she was 2 we were able to request a taxi with car seats in them. We just went to the concierge desk in the hotel and they organised it.

We caught a few cabs from our hotel (next to Sea World) to MK and they were $30 a piece.

You can get a bus from I Drive to DTD, it takes about 20 mins, is air conditioned and is, I think, $1.50 each!

I really wish we had discovered it earlier!

The bus is a lynx bus, I'll dig out my stuff at home and find out what number it is for you.........

Mears (Yellow Cabs) have a fare estimator on their web site:

Convension Centre to MK comes out as $28 plus tip each way.

The Lynx bus route 50 goes from the Transportation and Ticket Centre (near MK) via Downtown Disney to Seaworld. A single fare is now $2

To get from the Embassy Suites to Seaworld you can use the I-Ride Trolley Bus. A 7 day pass is $10 or $1.25 per trip.
Nearest stop is 22

Number 50 - that's the one!

The 50 actually goes down part of I drive before getting to Seaworld (or at least did in September)

Michelle - if your staying where I think you are then the number 50 goes very close to your hotel.

The 50 bus does go a little way up I-Drive to the 528 (Beeline Express Way).

This is south of the convention centre on I-Drive and so quite a way from the Embassy Suites. I assume you are at the one on Jamaica Court, next to the EconoLodge (was the Best Western Plaza). It is certainly too far to walk

Firstly thank you to everyone that answered,very much appreciated .

I am staying at the Embassy Suites up near the convention centre(NOT the one on Jamaican Court)so lets make sure i have this right---- Lynx Number 50 will take me to DTD or the TTC sorry guys it don't take much to confuse me .And this will only take me aprox 20mins?.

I know my hotel lays on free buses to ALL parks,but we have some early ressies+i know a cab will be the safer option.Seaworld i know i can get the I-Ride trolley to+we are purchasing the I-Ride trolley multi day passes .x.

You can catch the I ride trolley from your hotel to the number 50 lynx bus but more sensible is to catch either the No 42 or 8 (this one stops at the same stop as the 50 to change) lynx bus. You can then get a transfer ticket to the 50 so you only pay one fare (from memory the transfer is 10 cents more).
