Should I get a car????

[rickc77]

I've been to Disney 9 times in a row now (once per year) and have never gotten a car. I have always used Disney Transportation. In a few weeks I'll be back doing a solo trip, and was thinking about also going to Sea World.

What do you think......would you get a car just for that or use the bus system?

Any thoughts and suggestions would be great.

thanks,

i would either rely upon bus service, take a taxi (if the cost is not ridiculous) or rent a car for just the day that i need it (from dolphin or car care center)...

enjoy!

If you're 25 or over, I'd highly reccomend a car.

What my fiancée and I did when we went in Sept of 2002, we picked a car up at the airport. We went to Universal Studios, and that night checked out the Boardwalk, ate dinner off-property, and picked up some groceries. We then dropped the car off the next day at the Doubletree in Downtown Disney, and we reserved a one-way trip with Mears to get us back to the airport. We caught one of the busses from the Doubletree to the parks. There's a few different rental agencies scattered about the property. Budget is at the Doubletree, Dollar is at the Holiday Inn, and I think there's something at the Hilton....Avis maybe? I think Alamo and National are at the Swalphin, and National is available at the Car Care Center outside of the Magic Kingdom parking lot.

I think it cost us about $70. But I really didn't scour for any deals, so I know I could have done better. But it was SO worth that $70 for the convenience we enjoyed.

If you're 24 or under, I'd skip it. Those underage driver fees are killer.
