Transportation from Orlando Amtrak Station

[ella's_mommy]

Any information would be greatly appreciated! We are planning a trip to Disney in May 2011, staying at POR. We are planning on taking the train (mom doesn't fly!) and will not rent a car. I know there are shuttle services and taxis available at the station but not sure if we just get there and get on one or how that works. There are 4 of us and our luggage. Thanks alot for any info.

I am actually looking for that same answer. It seems everyone caters to MCO (airport)....I need a shuttle company for our trip in September.

Glad to find some more of you ridin the rails! You can call Mears to plan a taxi or town car BUT I would suggest the car rental.It is not much more to have a car for the whole week than it will cost you to get to and from the train station Usually at least $50 for one way. I will bump my train report up so you can read my numbers.I can help shop around for discounts for you if you give me dates

Awesome..........we check in on the 11th of September and check out on the 18th of September. We are excited about taking the train.

A quick peek for the week looks like $176 before taxes but I will work on it tomorrow and see what I can find.

Thank you so much for the suggestions. Not interested in renting a car because we will be there for 11 days which is a long time to rent a car. Also have family meeting us there with a large SUV the next day. We will be there April 30th-May 10th, 2011>

I am in a similar situation. I called Mears and priced out the trip from Amtrak Kissimmee to All Star Music. The price is $53 one way, it is $83 one way from Amtrak Orlando to All Star Music. So, I will travel to the Kissimmee station instead of Orlando. The Amtrak ticket is the same price for Orlando or Kissimmee. I simply called and they went over all of my options, quick and easy! I haven't booked it yet.

I didn't realize the trained stopped in Kissimmee. I assume it is closer that is why it is cheaper.

yes-if you are getting a taxi or car to pick you up, go to Kiss not Orlando (since it is closer to resorts). Amtrak doesn't care where you get off
