I once used Coach USA to get from the Sanford airport to CBR. It was a nightmare. We had to wait well over an hour for them to fill the van, no problem, we were the last stop, no problem. The driver then informed me that "It's a 5 dollar tip." Huh? He is lucky I was planning on tipping him $5 anyway. I should have sent him away with nothing.

From that point on, we would rent a car from Dollar for a day and drive. We actually returned the car at one of the Hotel Plaza Boulevard hotels. You'd be right there, it is worth looking in to.

The former Courtyard by Marriott on Hotel Plaza Boulevard at Downtown Disney is now a Holiday Inn.

Now, the closest Courtyard by Marriott is at Marriott Village. See http://marriott.com/property/propertypage.mi?marshaCode=MCOLY

The Courtyard by Marriott at Marriott Village is within walking distance of Springhill Suites by Marriott, Fairfield Inn by Marriott, a Bahmama Breeze restaurant, and a Golden Corral restaurant.
