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."
