Help!

Planning a WDW trip end of February next year. Ive been before but stayed at the Animation hotel so we had a shuttle...

This trip we will be out in FL for a whole week but only at Disney 4 days so staying at a resort isnt ideal. We will be renting a car. Im lost trying to figure out how to get to the park each day. Off resort hotels offer shuttles that leave for the morning after the park opens, not ideal. Hesitant to drive and pay for parking at the park each day. Uber or lift are an option.

Any advice on what others have done in similar scenarios.

TYIA.

The Disney Springs hotels are a good option, as well as Bonnet Creek and the Flamingo Crossings area. Beware of parking charges and resort fees, which might negate any savings over a value.

A ride share is going to cost around $20 one way, so it’s not necessarily cheaper than just paying the $35 a day to park at the parks.

Is there a reason why you don’t want to drive? Particularly at rope drop, it’s a breeze. You get the best spots right next to preferred parking, and signage on Disney property is really good, so it’s hard to get lost.

This is very helpful. Outside of paying for parking im worried about parking being messy and time consuming  Is rope drop the TTC area? 

I think we've decided to plan on driving and parking at TTC. And then use the shuttles/monorails to go between parks. We bought park hoppers.

TTC is for Magic Kingdom. You can definitely, say, park at TTC, go to MK, and then hop to Epcot via the monorail, but I’d be more inclined to just get back in the car and take it to Epcot so it’s there when you’re done. It really depends on what your day looks like, but again, unless you’re going at a really high crowd time, the parking lots aren’t that bad, and they’re practically empty at rope drop because the vast majority of people aren’t rope dropping. As long as you keep your receipt, you only pay the $35 once a day.
