Transportation for Hire
Maingate Transportation
provides daily shuttle service serving Emerald Island Resort
with 2 morning pick-ups and 2 evening return runs that are at
scheduled times. These runs are shared with other guests
from the resort. Pricing per round trip for this service is
as follows:
Disney World: $10 per person
Universal Studios: $14 per person
Sea World: $11 person
Orlando Premium Outlets: $10 per person
If you have 6 or more people, it makes sense to hire a
private van since it's charged by the trip and NOT per
person. This can be arranged any time of day for morning
pick-up and evening return as you don't share this service
with other guests. The van holds up to 14 people and the
round trip costs are as follows:
Disney World: $56
Universal Studios: $80
They also provide service to and from the airport. They
will have the driver waiting with a sign showing the guest's
name and he will help with their luggage, etc. They charge
$78 for airport pick-up and $68 for return (if they are used
for pick-up as well).
In terms of food shopping, they have a minimum charge of $6
per person to drop up to 5 people off at the store. They
will come back to pick them up at a specified time for
another $6.
Please contact Maingate Transportation at 407-870-5553 to
get more information and to arrange transportation.
Another shuttle company
that provides service from Emerald Island Resort to
EPCOT/Animal Kingdom is Cool Transportation. They can be
reached at 407-432-1990. |
