    Rental Car Selection MCO

    I've stayed away from Avis b/c it is affiliated with Budget, but I keep seeing more and more positive reviews for Avis. Will have to consider them going forward.

    Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts vs Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith

    My daughter (12) won't ride RNR - she doesn't like inversions, but she loves GOTG. Will she ride Gringott's???? Are there big drops / inversions? We've never been to US; we're a Disney family. First trip in one week!!!

    Rental vs towncar

    I've done both - town car service and car rentals. We prefer the car rental for longer trips, even if we pay a little more. We like the freedom of being able to go where we want, when we want (including off property). If the buses are slow, which they sometimes are, we can use the car to get...

    Rental Car Selection MCO

    Part of the "fun" of flying into MCO for me is selecting a rental car at the airport. Many moons ago, I was able to get a mini-van on the full size Aisle at Alamo. Score! I wasn't able to find a lot of threads with recent experiences on car selections at MCO post-pandemic, so I'll start one...

    December 2023 Rental Car Thread

    My week-long rental for a full size car is down to $353 from $372 with Alamo. Budget is about $40 cheaper, but I try to avoid Budget at all costs based on prior experience. Was hoping I could get below $300, but this may be as low as it goes, as our rental is in a couple weeks.

    December 2023 Rental Car Thread

    Haven't checked the rates in a while, but I was able to get a Full Size car with Alamo thru Costco for 373. I'm happy with that as my previous reservation was 490. I will check more frequently as we get closer.

    Disappointed with Be Our Guest

    Went once after they changed to TS from QS and never again. LOVED it for breakfast AND lunch as QS but will not ever return again to TS - too expensive and honestly not that good.

    Alamo "Skip the Counter" questions.

    I have never used "You Click, We Pick", but found this thread regarding the subject. https://www.disboards.com/threads/alamo-you-click-we-pick-and-skip-the-counter.3924154/ I love Alamo. You might try calling Alamo to validate that you will be able to skip the counter since you stated that...

    Dec/Jan Car rentals are out of site...anyone get a good deal?!?

    I have a minivan reservation with Alamo thru Costco for 1 week before Christmas for $470. I will keep checking and rebook when a large sedan or midsize SUV (or larger) is cheaper. I don't need a minivan, but it was actually cheaper than a sedan for my dates. Rates have been very high the last...

    Avis, Budget or Alamo?

    Used Budget in Feb 2022 because they were significantly cheaper than my preferred agency, Alamo. NEVER AGAIN. Long story, but every aspect of the rental from the line to get the car, smoke smell, poor car condition, no customer service and waiting weeks for a final receipt. I'll pay more for...

    VGC Waitlist Success?

    We're planning a trip to DLR in Feb 2024. At the 7 month mark, I was only able to get a 2 BR for 2 of the 4 nights we will need. Has anyone had success at VGC with waitlisting? Not sure what to do at this point.

    Would you switch to BWV from BCV at Christmas?

    We currently have 5 nights before Christmas booked at BCV but BWV is still available. Should we switch or not? I understand BCV is not fully renovated and I feel like BWV might be slightly better locationwise. If the weather is anything like last year, we wont be using SAB. What do you think?

    Need suggestions for first California trip!

    So many choices and not enough time! Thanks for the suggestions! I feel the PCH calling my name but it is probably best for another trip - maybe with Yosemite in the summertime. Thoughts on visiting Malibu and Reagan Library?

    Need suggestions for first California trip!

    Planning a trip to Disneyland for February 2024. Our party consists of 2 adults and DD (12). We want to stay 7-8 nights total, with first and last days being travel days. We plan to do 3 full days at DLR and then the WB tours, but would love to see some other parts of the state. We're from...

    Not finding what I want

    I know what you mean. I scoured for months looking for something that was "perfect" and seemed like it was few and far between. I ended up going with a contract that was loaded with points, but not necessarily the best use year for us based on our past travel times. I figured our travel times...
