Taxi's

[traceycooper]

Can anyone give me a rough estimate on how much a taxi/van would be from OIA to ASMo??
& can anyone recommend a good, reliable, cheap firm!!
There will be 5 of us & at least 5 cases
Thanks

About $48 plus tip each way.

Check out the Mears Taxi (Yellow Cabs) Fare Calculator:

Or you can book a towncar transfer. Check out FLTours and Tiffany Towncars for quotations:

Thanks when i checked out Mears it said that Disney transportation is included fpr ASMo's (magical express??) & gives a number to reserve!
Anyone done this themselves?
Does it go straight to ASMo or will there be other drop offs?

The Magic Express transfer will be via a Disney Bus (operated by Mears), and will drop off at other resorts. ME FAQ says there could be anywhere between 3 to 4 stops.

I haven't used the service personally - but I'm sure othere's have

I've used this (ME) and can recommend it thoroughly Especially as it is free


There are up to 3/4 stops per route but it is quite nice if your stop isn't first to see the insides of the resorts (though you remain on the bus).

You have to pre book with disney for ME.You used to be able to turn up at desk with room booking but taxi firms kicked up a fuss.Would contact disney direct as sometimes uk tour opperaters dont offer it (think they lose outon comission)OK if you have used an american TA like dreams

Thanks everone
We booked virgin through a TA, & booked for free transportation, i presume this will be on a Virgin bus & not ME, last time it took us ages to get dropped off (waiting for others to board virgin bus & our hotel was last).
So we have decided to make our own way.
Do we need to inform virgin & if we do can we tell them when we arrive at OIA?
Dont want to have to call virgin cos everytime TA calls something goes wrong!!!
Sorry if i'm being a pain, just want to make sure i do it right!!!
Mears wont let me book with them, it says book ME or luxury sedan - that wont take more than 4 people & theres 5 of us!!!!
