Swan and Dolphin have Starbucks.
Scoutn, last time we flew down, did not rent a car and we did fine with Disney transportation as well, we shall see how it goes once we are down there crowd wise, how long to wait for a bus and what not....oh and next month Starbuck's is launching a new roasting method...much lighter and will be called "Blonde" roast, you might like![]()
You'll get about 2-3 hours of your day backevery day.
This, yes.I'm a huge proponent of renting cars for WDW.
If you're already bringing your own it's a no brainer.
Are you staying onsite..?
If so...You won't have to pay for parking at the parks and i would suggest using your vehicle the entire time you're at the world.

Where is the easiest place to pick up a rental car other than the airport? How are rental rates in FL?
Oh come on. 2-3 hours???? First off, depending on which resort you're staying at it may make no difference at all (monorail resort.)
Secondly, if you're staying at any other resort, if you're leaving first thing in the morning and there's a bus waiting, you'll get there faster on the bus than your own car. Leaving the park can be the same thing. So to say you will save 2-3 hours each day is actually kind of silly.
This, yes.
Last September, I spend two and a half hours just getting from Typhoon Lagoon to the Studio's by bus. :dazzle:
I love to parkhop, to visit water parks for a few hours. It is hardly doable when having to rely on Disney transport.
A car wins you 2 or 3 hours a day indeed.
In any event, I'm thinking a happy medium might be having your own car and then at least you have the option of using it if you want to (and not using it if you don't). One morning after being unable to get on the third completely full bus to the MK, we gave up and took a cab.
In any event, enjoy your trip!! In spite of the bus situation (which was the only unpleasant part of our trip) I can't wait to go back![]()
We just got back and swear we'll never use resort buses again. Maybe we just stayed at a bad resort (Riverside) or maybe we were there at a bad time (week AFTER Thanksgiving), or maybe it's because we are a three ring circus (we have 3 kids ages 3 and under), but the wait for a bus was usually at least 20 minutes, and then you often couldn't even get on the bus. When you did get on the bus, by the time everyone piled on, the bus would then stop at 3 more stops only to have irate folks pile onto the already over-crowded buses, complaining about how full the bus was and how long they had to wait to get on the bus, etc.
