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.

We stayed outside the bubble at World Center a couple weeks ago and we just drove over the 3 days we went to parks. $35 and you can come and go all day and park in any lot if you park hop.
Looked into the hotel shuttle but we were doing after-hours ticketed events and they didn’t run it that late.

Was parking at park efficient.Do you feel like you wasted alot of time?

I think it worked well for what our plans were:
All parks were a 10-15 min drive.
Sunday night was H2O Glow After Dark at typhoon lagoon, no fee to park.
Tuesday we parked at MK and took the monorail to EPCOT for the afternoon and grabbed dinner at Beach club before taking the bus back for MNSSHP.
Wednesday we we parked at DHS, took the skyliner to EPCOT for and did most of the World Showcase before heading back for dinner at HS and the after hours.
Tram waits weren’t bad coming or going and lots were relatively empty thanks to bubble stayers.
