I just got back and was pleased with my choice of transportation to the resort. It was just myself and my 9 year old niece...you would have even more flexibility with 2 adults in your party. I booked two one way rentals with Dollar (using the entertain code, I got an economy car for $30.23 (including everything) -- there is no one-way drop off fee on these rentals). I wasn't a "Fastlane" member, so I signed up for that online and then booked the reservation the next day when I was notified of my member number. At the airport, I stopped and picked up the baggage, then I walked right up to the counter (less than a 5 minute wait at the MCO counter, and there was a long line for non-Fastlane members--the counter help were calling for extra help from the other terminal), then, we walked right across to the Dollar lot (no waiting for a shuttle) and we were on the road (in a Dodge Neon) to WDW less than 15 minutes after I picked up the luggage. Stopped at the grocery store on the way to the resort (didn't have to worry about only 15 or 30 minutes in the store). Drove to Port Orleans Riverside, checked in, drove to the parking space near our room and unloaded everything. Drove to the outlet malls that afternoon, then drove to Dollar's location at the Courtyard by Marriot near Downtown Disney. Dropped the paperwork in the drop box (the counter is only staffed from 8:30am - 4:30pm). Walked about 4 blocks to Downtown Disney, spent some time there and then caught the boat back to Port Orleans (could also have taken the bus). Since I couldn't leave a 9 year old alone, she came along, but with 2 adults, if everyone wasn't up for going to Downtown Disney one adult could stay with the kids back at the pool or in the room for a nap while the other one dropped off the car. Then this morning (8/15/02, our last day), we went to Blizzard Beach for a few hours, then caught a bus to Downtown Disney, walked to the Marriot and picked up the car (again, paperwork was done in 5 minutes), drove back to POR, loaded luggage in car, spent a few more hours at the resort pool, then off to the airport (at a time chosen by me, not Mears). Stopped for curbside baggage check-in, then dropped the car off (took about 2 minutes). So for two of us, towncar would have been a minimum of $75 + (?$10-$20?)tip, I think Mears would have been $44 ($25 adult+$19 child) plus tip, plus waiting for shuttle (and no opportunity for grocery stop). I know it cost me less than a towncar, and slightly more than Mears, but with added flexibilty I was happy with the choice. Also, factoring in the grocery stop, the few dollars extra I paid over Mears was recouped in money saved by buying juice boxes, cereal, snacks, etc at the store instead of the resort. You have four people, so you might want a larger car, but the Neon was decent sized, and even if you got a bigger car, if you found a $44/day rate you'd be sitting pretty (and no Mears tip). I would do this again, I was pleased with how well it worked.
