Hi Andrew. Renting a car is a matter of personal choice. One perk of staying at a Disney Resort is the guests enjoy complimentary coach transportation to and from Orlando International Airport. In addition, as a guest of the Caribbean Beach Resort, you'll enjoy free transportation all over Disney property, including to theme and water parks and Downtown Disney. Personally, I love not having to drive while on vacation, and Disney makes it super easy with its convenient transportation system that includes buses, monorails and boats.
The buses are extremely efficient and run regularly. Bus times from your resort are as follows:
- 15 minutes to the Magic Kingdom;
- 12 minutes to Epcot and the Hollywood Studios;
- 20 minutes to the Animal Kingdom and Typhoon Lagoon
- 13 minutes to Blizzard Beach; and
- about 10 minutes to Downtown Disney.
If you decide to rent a car, you can always do so from the
Disney Car Care Center. It's super handy, and they have a complementary shuttle that will drop you off and pick you up.
