    Orange Tree to Gatorland by Taxi

    We have a problem on a day when 4 of us, including me as the only driver, are keen to visit Fantasy of Flight while the other 3 in our party are equally determined to go to Gatorland. We absolutely cannot reschedule either venue. We have hired a villa in Orange Tree and we, the FoF party will be taking the car leaving the Gatorland group to fend for themselves. (Since each venue is roughly 30 miutes drive from the villa in opposite directions, dropping them off is out of the question). It looks like they will have to take a taxicab to Gatorland. Can anyone suggest a good local Taxi company that will do a good deal on a round trip? Any other bright ideas on how to solve this problem will also be welcome.

    We always use yellow cabs, their phone number is (001) 407 699 9999

    No idea what the pricewould be though, if you call them up they do give guide prices over the phone.

    I am sorry to say Caroline that Yellow Cabs were particularly unhelpful. They had no idea where the Orange Tree villas were located and thought I was talking about the Orange Tree County Club, which, if my memory serves right, is somewhere near Universal Studios. The operator that I spoke to was offhand to the point of rudeness. I think that someone local to the Orange Tree area will be more useful in this instance.

    What a shame, we've always had really good service from them.
    Sorry I don't know any other cab firms, have you tried asking the owner you're renting from who they use?

    Yes, I have sent her an e-mail and am waiting for a reply. Thanks for being helpful yourself; it was not your fault that the Yellow cabs operator that I spoke to had a "serious attitude problem" (I always wanted to say that!)

    I am happy to say that I haven't got one, nor do I have any intentions of getting one! But you have my sympathies. [msnwink][msnwink]
