We do a combo of car and monorail. We always rent a car and use that to get to MGM and AK and to the different hotels at night for dinner. Then for MK and Epcot or for going to the Contemporary or GF, we use the monorail at the TTC and the resort monorail. We never take the buses because we don't like waiting for them or dealing with them either. This system works for us, especially since it's just the 2 of us and a small, no frills car is all we need.
