Getting Around Disney World

(Short Excerpts From the Book)

 

Transportation on Disney Property

Disney World prides itself in having some of the best, well-run transportation in the world.  By using a combination of buses, ferries, monorail, and trams, Disney is able to connect their parks and resorts in a very timely manner.  Most individuals can get from one park to another within 30 minutes.  If you stay on property, you can park your car on your first day and never need it during your trip.  This, of course, does depend on your expectations and the make-up of your party.

If you have a baby or if you have a couple of small children, you might want to consider renting a car or using your own car during your stay.  A bus can get you around fairly quickly, but with a screaming child or cranky kids, quickly isn't quick enough.  Loading and unloading buses can be a chore and it might be something that you would want to avoid altogether.

Car Rental Tips

If you are staying offsite, a rental car should be a must.  It is not totally necessary if your budget does not allow it, but it could definitely make your trip a little smoother.  Here are some of our tips to remember when renting a car.

  • Try not to rent a vehicle that also tacks on extra charges per mile you drive. Charges for extra miles can more than double the cost of renting a car. The only way that a deal like this could work is if the car comes with good number of free miles per day. If the total allotted miles over the course of the rental agreement gives you more than enough miles to get to Disney World and back, it could work for you.
  • Most rental companies offer unlimited miles. Make sure this is clear before taking the vehicle. Some companies offer unlimited miles, but only if the car remains in the state or within a certain area.
  • Sometimes the rental companies are out of compact and mid-sized cars. A larger size might be cheaper. They would rather put you into something besides having you walk away. Ask for a free upgrade when picking up your vehicle. It never hurts to ask.
  • Weekly rates are going to be better than renting by the day. Always ask for the weekly rate.  If possible try to rent for 8 days as there are extra savings in renting for more than a week.
  • Keep checking the rental car’s websites and others to find the best deal. If a better deal, special or upgrade comes out, cancel your previous reservation, and make a new one.
  • Most car rental companies do not charge or penalize for cancellations as long as you cancel within the required amount of time.
