IDoDis--thank you for the link. Sounds like this is the way to go. I don't mind the delivery fee but really don't want to waste two hours when I could be at disney. Any and all advice, info, etc. you have I really appreciate. This is all so new to me and I'm trying to plan not only for my family but MIL & FIL as well...I know this will be their only trip so trying to keep things as smooth as possible.
Thanks again!
You're welcome.
Did you find a condo to rent yet? Another thing I liked about our rental was that the owner allowed us to just pick up the keys directly from the lock-box outside of the condo. Some owners will have you go to their rental office to pick-up & drop-off keys. We arrived pretty late, so the owner said it was fine for us to get the keys from the lock box (she gave us a code #).
Before leaving your house, make sure to googlemap your directions to WH from the airport (where yo are picking up your rental car). I printed out maps from WH to WDW (each park), a grocery store, and Universal Studios (unless you are bringing or paying extra for a GPS navigator in the rental car).
Remember that 24 hrs before you leave, the person in the front office at WH will print out your boarding passes for you (if your airline does that sort of thing), so don't forget to do that. I think there was a small charge, but very nominal (like 30 cents each or something like that).
There's also a little store in the WH clubhouse that sells bread, milk, eggs, etc..., so if you arrive late and don't want to fuss going to the store that night, you can buy things from their store in a pinch. The prices were a bit higher, but not outrageous.
