I need some advice!

Hi everyone!
I'm a hardcore Disney fanatic and have visited the parks 4 times before. My boyfriend is taking me to Disney for my birthday and now I'm faced with a new challenge. We're staying at his grandfather's house in Orlando and we have to drive to the parks. We're flying down, renting a car and driving to the parks each day. I've always stayed on property, so I've never dealt with this before. Here are my questions:

How long does it take from park to park?
We'll be park hopping (2 parks per day). Where should I leave the car?
Is there a way to leave the car at the Ticket and Transportation Center and just take the buses?

I need some big time help with this one, so any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a million!!

Some help for you,
I have found, depending on what park you are driving to/from, using your own car is about the same as riding the bus. Sure, you have to tram to your car, but then you may have to wait for a bus. Also, buses (correct me if I'm wrong, disers) don't go directly from park to park, so using you car bypasses the TTC. What we did last year, park at the park you want to finish the day, and take disney transportation to the first park and back. We parked at Epcot, monorailed to the TTC/MK and then back to Epcot later in the day. And yes, I've left the car at the TTC, and done WDW transportation.

There ya go...

There are park to park buses. For the MK, the buses drop at TTC. So you could park at the TTC and just park hop from there.

I'd probably take my car rather than the buses though. Just like the flexibility.
