Best way to get a cab at resort hotel?

[phi2134]

Hey All, I am staying at Port Orleans Riverside Next weekend and we need to get to Epcot's parking lot and the Disney Fitness Expo really early in the morning on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This is all for the princess half marathon weekend. Our hotel isn't a host hotel, therefore we dont have shuttles to take us to these places.

Does anyone recommend the best way to get a cab at a resort hotel? We have to leave by like 4 in the morning on Saturday and Sunday and probably by 7 or 8 AM on Friday. Any info or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Walk out the main entrance. There are usually 3-4 right there.

Generally the taxi's are out of sight at resorts. Bellhops generally call them forward (can offer a small tip for doing so.) Disney at the resorts have their sanctioned taxi companies they call forward which thwarts the gypsy taxi companies.

Unless something has changed, that is not the case. At every resort I have been to, they are right near the entrance, but off to the side. At least this is the case for the AS, Pop, WL, CSR. Maybe the monorail resorts are different.

All the hotels (and parks) have cab stands. If you don't see them, just ask the Disney staff.

Thanks for the advice everyone, never had to do this before even though I have been there about 15 times in my life.

Absolutely right littleroo! I've never had any problems and it never takes more than 5 or 10 minutes (usually less) for a cab to arrive. We've started taking more cabs in the last few years when we have a late dinner somewhere like Boma or the Polynesian and the only way back to our resort would be to go to Downtown Disney and then to our resort. Not a pleasant way to end a wonderful evening.

The taxi number is 407-422-2222 if you can't find a can or CM to help you. Haha

If I remember right, thre is a button on the phone for cabs. If not, front desk and they are ready within 5 minutes.

I would like to piggyback a little on this. Does anyone know if Taxi's are waiting for fares at the other parks like SeaWorld and Universal?

Best advice: ask a CM at the front desk.

We stayed at PO french Quarter and they just called one to the door from out in the parking lot.

Yes, all the parks have cab stands. The Uni hotels would also be able to get you a cab, of course.

I'm not 100% sure but I believe they do. If not, you can also use the 407-422-2222 number and call them to get a cab.
