Hey Dads,
First of all, thanks for the help on the dining suggestions. Got them all nailed down, even doing a Cinderella's Royal Table breakfast (gotta love the new ADR requirements).
Got another issue I'm looking for some guidance/input. In the three times we've gone to WDW, we've driven but haven't touched our vehicle once it's parked. We have always relied on Disney transportation. But the more I listen to podcasts, the more I hear the experts say if you have a vehicle, it's a lot easier to just drive instead of relying on somewhat erratic Disney transportation.
So, how many of you have used your own vehicles around property? First off, is it easy to navigate? I find myself trying to memorize bus routes, but different drivers like to take different routes and then I get all confused. Secondly, how is the parking situation at each park? I remember when we used to go to Astroworld yay that parking was a nightmare for my parents. We'd end up a mile from the front of the park, and I don't really look forward to that with two kids.
I'm trying to weigh the pros and cons of each. I like the freedom of having my own car and not having to wait for a bus with hundreds of other people 10 minutes after Wishes. At the same time, I like the idea of having someone else bringing me around property. We usually wake up pretty early, so getting to the resorts has never been a big issue as far as waiting for buses. The biggest headache has been that late-night 45-minute wait for a bus.
So, what do you guys think?
