My daughter and I are planning 3.5 days at the end of Jan, we will have a car and I just wanted advice on the most convienent way to access the parks, MK, MGM & AK, We are staying off site(Fairfield-Star Island), and we can shuttle $10 each way, per person. Less hastle to drive or pay for the transportation?
How easy is access to the parks as far as traffic, waits, time etc? Any advice is appriciated!

$10 each way per person.. $40 dollars per day. I would drive. I believe parking is still less than $10 per day.

what are the best times to get to the parks, early or later? For short wait?

definitely earlier

I would not rely on shuttle service from off-site hotels. I have read they are shared by any number of resorts and have very limited service. You are better of just driving and parking at the theme park where you will end your day. This will make it a lot easier for you when it's time to leave. Just use Disney transportation during the day to get anywhere within WDW.
Always, always, always.....get the idea... ..get to any theme park first thing in the morning. Since you cannot participate in EMH, (Disney resort guests only) I suggest you skip the parks with the morning EMH.
