Thanks for the help!

what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard.
Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.
I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

If you are staying at one of the disney resorts, its free.
This is one of many perks to staying onstie, it makes the experience 10X better and really makes you feel like you are in a fantasy world. Seriously consider doing this (if money is a problem the All Star hotels arent too expensive.)

Just a suggestion, but if I were to take a cab, I'd take it to Downtown Disney and hitch a ride on a Disney Bus.

I stayed on a offsite hotel and I took a taxi to one of the parks. You still have to pay the $9 which was a bummer considering it was a drop off.
Your cabbie ripped you off. The cabbie only needs to pay the toll plaza fee once per day no matter how many fares he has that day, and you shouldn't have to pay it for him and all of his subsequent fares.

There are no direct busses between DTD and the theme parks to prevent people from doing precisely this. You can do it indirectly via a resort hotel, but isn't your time worth something? *** Edited 4/5/2006 11:52:30 PM UTC by Brian Noble***

Well, let's be "fare" here. We have no idea if the cabbie was going back into a WDW parking lot again that day. Few tourists take a cab to the parks.
That said, taking a cab to the resort is a decent option. It also pays to pick the right resort because every 1/8th of a mile counts. If you're staying in Kissimmee, Animal Kingdom Lodge or All Star would be good choices if you are West of Disney. Pop Century or Coronado Springs would be better choices if you're East of Disney or in Lake Buena Vista.
And if you're worried about the rare Disney bus drivers that ask for hotel ID to ride the bus, just go to the Poly where you can walk over to the Ticket Transportation Center to take a monorail or bus to the four parks.
Hi
Brian - Of course my time is worth something! That's why I stay on property... Or at least get a ride from an un-willing driver... Right Joe? ;) Thanks for those Tickets BTW! I actually really appreciated it.
I'm just saying that if you want to save 20 or so bucks on a cab fare, spend an hour doing the bus system. If I was on that kind of budget, I'd absolutely do it.
I've NEVER had a Disney driver ask for my Resort card. I've stumbled on those buses ass-faced drunk and never had a problem.

The cab driver was his first time at Disney on that day so we had to pay it. Has anyone gone to disney and had the cab driver pay.
