Do You Rent a Car When you Stay On Property?
I'm surprised how many people still rent cars when they fly into MCO and stay at a WDW resort.
We always rent a car everywhere except WDW. We like the freedom, we're good map readers and because we're super frequent renters from the same (tries harder) chain we get a great rate and no paperwork. It used to be renting a car for 4-5 days didn't cost more than a taxi RT from MCO.
Now with DME, we tag our bags, board the bus and start our vacation.
We use WDW transportation smartly (planning an MK break to WL/WC includes a pleasant boat ride) and relax when waiting for and riding busses.
At times if we're bushed or in a hurry we hop in a taxi and go resort doorstep to resort doorstep in minutes. A few cab rides are still cheaper then a rental car
Driving around WDW means parking a substantial hike from all resort or park entrances.
DME takes us back to MCO and we begin thinking about our real lives which include driving and traffic and parking every day.
