If you fly
rather than drive to Orlando on your Disney World trips, do
you rent a car while staying at Disney World? If you do
rent a car, why do you prefer this over using Disney
transportation 100% of the time? If you don't rent a car,
are you able to get around just fine without having a car?

"We have flown and driven our car to WDW. I am
perfectly happy on Disney Transportation at any of the DVC
resorts. As a matter of fact I would rather use Disney
Transportation all the time.(I just build in more traveling
time when I use their buses)."

"We always drive in our van and we have never used a rented
car. Disney
transportation is just SOOOOOOO much easier, especially if
you stay on site. No need to waste money on renting a car
when you can just do it the disney way- by bus!"

"I've done Disney World vacations with and without a
car. Generally we use Disney transportation even if we have
a car except for the Animal Kingdom (we find we can get to
the AK much quicker by driving). I do like to have a car to
drive to offsite restaurants - there are a number of good
restaurant options near the Crossroads Shopping Center that
will save you some money compared to the Disney
restaurants."

"I always rent a car. I like being able to go when I
want. And if I
want to go off property, I can. I like having my freedom.
Have not
really used Disney transport except on one or two
occasions. And that
was a loooooonnnnnngggg time ago."

"We have done the trip both ways. Our favorite way that
we do annually
now is drive the van down and take disney busses and boats
everywhere. It's relaxing not to be forced into driving
everywhere, like at home!"

"As DVC members we get a car so we can have the freedom
to shop for groceries during our stay, and occasionally
wander off property. It really does feel like being home,
so we enjoy the flexibility. When we go to parks we usually
use Disney transportation."

"We always fly and always rent a car. My husband hates
waiting for buses, and we use the car a lot for grocery or
off-site restaurant runs. For transportation within the
World the Disney buses are fine with me in most cases, the
exceptions being visits to water parks and late nights at
Downtown Disney."

"We have driven, flown and taken the auto train...frankly.
the autotrain is my favorite. I have taken it twice - most
recently last month. We board it in Lorton, VA which is
about 1 1/2 - 2 hours from home. It was so relaxing, the
food and service were excellent. We had a sleeper, and I am
sure that made all the difference. Then - voila - we have
our car to use at leisure during our visit. We drive to
dinner at other resorts. We stay at the Beach Club Villas,
but we like to try new restaurants at other resorts. We
also drive to Typhoon Lagoon since we usually lug a lot of
stuff. Finally we drive to off site restrauants and the
grocery store.
We almost always take the bus to the parks."
