My husband's uncle works everyday on Broadway. Now he lives in West New York, NJ but takes transit every day. Whenever he flies he always takes the subway to the airport. And he has a son with his wife and his son is autistic.My sister and brother in law have lived in Manhattan for almost 20 years. Number of times they've taken the subway or bus to any of the three airports? Zero. They always take a taxi or Uber. Number of times they take a taxi or Uber during their day in and day out commuting lives? Zero.
They have no kids by the way, but still won't face the hassle of lugging suitcases onto the subway. There's just no space for luggage, as there is none on any Disney buses once you reach Disney Springs. As someone said above, the RER train to Charles de Gaulle is also a commuter train and has no luggage racks.
When we went to NJ/NYC for a work thing with my husband we took the PATH train from the Newark airport to Penn Station on the NJ side and my husband got a rental car from Enterprise (he needed it for work). Otherwise in that situation even as much as we rent cars wherever we go we wouldn't have rented a car.
Now whether someone wants to take a train on vacation (as has been brought up) is totally another conversation and is subjective. Like people who refuse to cook on vacation and don't see the point of a DVC room with a kitchenette or an airBNB where people buy groceries to cook their meals, I can understand that. But still my comment was more meant about the type of person who even looks at this option. Weighing the pros and cons of this option wasn't the point I was intending to make as I can certainly see the cons.
