So, my family is splitting up for a night next week when we're at WDW. DD and I are going to the MK for MNSSHP and DH and DS are opting for the creepier Halloween party at Universal Studios. We won't have a car on this trip, so we need to find a way to get them from the Beach Club Villas where we're staying to Universal and back. Is taxi the way to go? Any idea on cost? Thanks so much!!

Would you consider renting a car for the evening?

You could also consider a limo company such as Quicksilver. (http://www.quicksilver-tours.com/)

Yes, we'd consider renting for the day if it was the least expensive option. Thanks for the info on the limo service!

Methods:
1) Lynx public bus
. . . cheap
. . . inconvenient
2) MEARS (usually a van)
. . . picks you up at your hotel at scheduled times
. . . set times for pickup from Universal
. . . moderately priced
3) Taxi or Towncar
. . . picks you up at your hotel
. . . open time for pickup from Universal
. . . most expensive method
4) Car rental
. . . National picks you up at your hotel
. . . you drive to Universal
. . . National takes you back to your hotel
. . . about $50 after all taxes
. . . you pay for gas and for parking

For convenience, take a taxi. For best price/convenience ratio, take a MEARS van.
