Hi there, Beth!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Your Walt Disney World Resort vacation is SO SOON!! Before you know it, you will be on your way to Orlando for a vacation filled with fun, excitement and many many magical memories! Make sure you’ve pre-purchased
Memory Maker so you can be certain all those memories make their way home with you at the end of your vacation!
I agree with you – while in Florida, why NOT take advantage and visit the beach one day!?! It would not only be a relaxing day among many busy and activity filled days, but also a great way to see the ocean and the beautiful beaches near Orlando. I highly recommend Cocoa Beach, which is just an easy 60-minute drive from Orlando! There are shuttles that will take you there, but it’s always nice to have your own car for the day! That way you can go at your own pace, see what you want and not be on anyone else’s schedule. And, it’s very easy (and convenient) to get a rental car for the day while staying at a Walt Disney World Resort property. While I don’t think they will deliver the car to you on property, there are complimentary shuttles that will take you from your Resort Hotel to the
Car Care Center where Alamo Rent-A-Car and National Car Rental have
cars available for pick up and drop off! You can contact the rental car companies directly prior to your vacation to make your reservation or you can inquire once at your Resort Hotel about making arrangements for a one-day rental.
Enjoy everything that your trip to Florida has to offer – theme parks, entertainment, beaches, and magic! Say hi to Mickey for me!
