Taxi Questions - AK, POP and 5 Passengers

[todd222222]

Ok I've search the board and have been unable to find specific answers for my questions.

We are using DME and will be staying at POP. We will for the most part be taking Disney Transportation to/from parks. But will probably use a taxi a few times. We are a part of 5. 2 Adults, 1 16yo, 1 9yo and 1 7yo.

1. We are planning on spending the day at AK and then go and see La Nouba at it's 6pm showing. So we can stay as long at AK as we want I would like to take a Taxi from AK to DTD. So around 4:30 will there be taxis available at AK? (The park closes at 5) Will they have to call one for me? Is the taxi location easy to find and clearly marked?

2. I know Mears website and the side of the taxi's say you can fit 5 people in the car, but is this really possible? I guess they have a bench seat in the front? So I could put my youngest daughter in the middle in the front with me and the driver?

3. A few years back we stayed at AKL and I remember there were always a line of taxis waiting...is this the case at POP?

Thanks
Todd

While taxis are readily available & waiting just about everywhere onsite, with a party of 5 I would call ahead. We were a party of 5 a few times & most of the "car" taxis only held 4 people plus the driver. There were a few times we had to wait for them to call an SUV for us with 3rd row seating.
