Rental Car vs. Magical Express

We are going to go with a car this trip, it should be less stress and more time at the resort on the last day.

Thanks Diz. It sounds pretty easy. This should save me 1 to 2 hours at the park which I think will be worth it. Not sure when the next trip to Disney will be.... not for a long time though (5 years).... :(
But will it take you "1 to 2 hours" the prior afternoon to rent the car? In other words, how much park time will you lose renting the car on the day prior to departure?

And are you really buying yourself "1 to 2 hours" at a park on the departure day? Or will it be less than an hour to allow time to return the rental car and to provide a margin for error/delays?
 
I will pick up the car while we are all back at teh resort for an afternoon break. My wife will stay with the boys poolside or somewhere while I go get the car. They will still be having fun at least!

I figure that since we don't have to wait for a bus at AK to bring us back to the resort where we would have to gt our baggage at the desk and board the ME it should save a lot of time. We won't have to stop at other resorts to pick up other guests either. I figure that the car will already be packed adn we head straight from AK tot eh airport. I don't think there will be too much traffic on a Sunday.

Poke holes in this if you can. I'd rather drive for free if the time saved is not going to be that much. And if I will get to see enouogh at AK during a 3 or 4 hour stretch.
