Have I mentioned you should rent a car?

Well, first of all those buses make lots of stops and sometimes you end up standing for 20 - 50 minutes. Secondly not every destination is served directly by one bus......sometimes you're going to have to get off the bus and onto another one...which also may make several stops. Worse of all, sometimes they just don't show up. Most of the time a bus came within 20 minutes....but we did have a couple of waits that exceeded 45 minutes. One journey took us, from start to finish, 80 minutes. Made us late for dinner ressies at the Contemporary Resort...

IMO, the extra expense is worth your convenience. Not to mention time. Which, considering airfare, park admissions, lodging and excess dining expense .... costs you approximately $6.53 every minute you are on property. The car pays for itself!

Yes you have, and many others have said don't bother.

If you're going in October crowds are going to be lighter. Buses won't be as crowded. It also depends on what resort you stay at. Some resorts are bigger, so buses can get a lot more crowded.

IMO it's not worth the extra expense and hassle. Also, on a personal level I feel better about not emitting as many pollutants into the air when I'm not driving my own car.
