Tips needed for Parking

[ExpatDisneyLover]

Sorry but you're really late, all went fine for my trip this January except the USA aren't really good at any kind of public transportation (if I'm correct, they think public transport is for poor people and these poor people don't have a car its a shame for them) I even had some discussion about using a bike there and America seems to think bikes are for loosers not for people to travel around from work to home for exemple, basically in USA if you don't have a car, rent one or don't go to Disney if you're not staying on their resorts clearly, otherwise you can get there but its really long to get there, its only a 10-15 minutes ride if we have a car to any theme park (maybe 30 minutes for Epcot and Animal Kingdom) and it takes more than 2hrs to get to any parks if we use the LYNX bus + Disney transportation system, less than 5mi to drive to Disney from our location on Idrive and it takes 2hrs with a bus, unbelievable, the worst is the red lights in Orlando, In Quebec I was sure we had the longest red lights in the world but I had never seen lights that are red for more than 2.5minutes before I went there on Idrive, longest I've seen is 4,5minutes on the red light, its very time consuming and you have to plan according to them.

I too understand your frustration with public transportation. I spent the past seven years in Turkey and really became accustomed to good and reliable public transportation. It has been hard being back in the States trying to figure out how to get around. I have been renting a lot of cars lately. Anyway - just a note to say I get it.

To the OP - of course the thread is way past the date of the original post but someone may find it helpful - I bought an annual pass this year just for the free parking and so far have saved over a hundred dollars in parking fees an have only had the pass a little over a month. So depending on how many days you'll be at WDW the annual pass may be something to consider.
