Hi Krista,
Thank you for stopping by planDisney with a great question!
The
Car Care Center has been wonderful for my family. I suggest that you book your vehicle online. It sounds like you may have plans to use a different pick-up location. If so, just remember to select different pick-up and/or drop off locations. There is a shuttle service to and from the Car Care Center. The rental process was efficient and perfect for our needs. I just needed a car for one day to take our girls on a college tour.
As you consider your options, remember also that if you plan to keep the vehicle with you at your
Disney Resorts Collection resort hotel, review the
parking information. If you plan to use the rental car to get to the theme parks, be sure to review that parking information as well and I recommend using the
Car Locater feature. I will say that even when we drive (which is rare), we still use
Resort Transportation to get to and from the theme parks. We especially love
Walt Disney World Monorail® Transportation and the
Disney Skyliner.
As you continue to make plans, be sure to check the
park hours for the days of your visit. We always try to make sure we are making our park plans on days when each park is open the latest so that we can maximize our time. Remember to take photos with
Disney PhotoPass® Service Photographers and use
Memory Maker to download those digital photos. And, of course, I do hope you have at least one resort day planned. Our girls love to do some of the resort activities and relax at the pool.
Krista, finally, looking at your dates, be sure to keep an eye on
The Holidays at Walt Disney World Resort activities. You will be there during my favorite time of year. The parks and resorts are absolutely gorgeous!
Happy planning!
Magic and memories,
Donyell
