Drive or take buses to parks?

[RN01]

If you have your car at disney and you have the choice to take the bus to the parks or drive your own car which to you usually choose? I'm thinking taking our car because I hate waiting for the buses but my hubby wants to take the buses because he doesn't want to have to worry about how to get there or where to go. What do you usually do?

We took the buses, we stayed at AOA, they do not share buses. The bus will take you to the gates at MK, you do not have to ride the Monorail or the Ferry. The ferry is nice, we did ride it on a previous trip when we were staying off site.
We did not stay late in the parks, so I can not say how the buses was at night time, I have heard people talk about how slow they were & how crowded at that time. We never had any problems with them & when I go back I will use them again.

It depends on the park. My family usually stays at BW (or one of the Epcot area resorts), so we walk/boat to Epcot and DHS. We take the bus to MK because it drops you off in front of MK and we don't have to deal with the TTC. For Animal Kingdom and DTD, we drive. It just seems faster and we don't have to deal with crowded buses. If we're visiting any resorts or the water parks, we also drive.

We've stayed at the Values and POR and drive ourselves everywhere except MK. MK it's much more convenient to get dropped off by the bus instead of dealing with the TTC. The other parks, water parks, resorts and Downtown Disney we always found it much easier to drive.

We like taking the bus - it's part of the fun of staying "inside" Disney, and it's free! We stay at Pop Century and never had a long wait. At the end of a long day, the last thing we want to do is wait for the tram and remember if we parked in the Goofy, Pluto, Mickey... part of the parking lot!

I usually don't have a car, but even when I do, I take the bus. It's SO much easier to not have to navigate. Yes, I have to wait for the bus, but I don't have to wait for the tram, find the car, sit in traffic at the end of the night when the park closes, and so on. Plus drive time. Disney transportation is so efficient.

We drive everywhere but MK. It's definitely easier to take the bus there. We like to get to the parks early, so we've never had an issue with having to wait for a tram. I prefer having my own transportation.

When I stay at BWV and have a car, I typically drive to AK and DTD. I was at BLT 2 weeks ago, I drove to AK one day and then straight to Epcot. Also drove to DTD. I haven't stayed at OKW in awhile but I usually drove most everywhere from there, the busses seem to take forever. I like having a car to have the option to go offsite and shop or get groceries.
