Do you have a car while at WDW?

I like the convenience of having a car - but we have relied on WDW transportation. For the next several trips, though, I do plan to have a car - whether we drive our own or fly and rent - still a little paranoid of getting stuck. We were in Los Angeles on 9-11 - scheduled to fly home on 9-12. Thank goodness we already had a rental car we could drive home.

We haven't rented a car in a long time. We use Disney's transportation system and airport transfers. This has worked well for us in the past. Annmarie

I think the use of a car may depend on how long the stay is and how many are making the trip together.

Since we are a long way from WDW, we have one long trip every other year. And for that, we want to have a good car to be able to go shopping or for day trips -- Space Center, etc.

We are an 8 hour drive from WDW, and do not have a major airport in town. So it is quicker and easier to drive. We love having the car if we need it.

Since we joined the DVC, we rent a car. We feel like since we're "saving" by not having to come up with a big "chunk of change" to pay for the resort, we can splurge a bit and rent a car.

We usually drive the AK. We have driven to all the parks, at one time or another, but we have also taken busses as well. As far as MK goes, it makes more sense to take the bus because of where it drops you off, right there in front. Driving there you take the car to boat or monorail...kind of convoluted.

Of course, if we're at at Boardwalk area resort, then you walk/boat to Epcot and MGM.

The car is nice to have to go resort to resort without a long convoluted bus trip. We also like to hit the Belz outlet on I Drive where the Disney Outlets are.
