There are 4 of us. 7 days, 6 nights.
We can get a flight for $109-120 per person into MCO, per usual, but our return flight is looking at $150-170 per person! Tampa I can get each way for $83! We only fly SWA, for free bags, and we are members/have their Visa card.
I've never rented a car, we use DME & Disney buses to get around. No plans for outside activities, either. Just WDW!
So how much would a rental car cost for Tues - Mon? And how hard is it?
Thanks!
I've done the drive from/to TPA for Disney trips (doing it again just to visit Clearwater beach for a few days in middle of October trip). That said the drive is not something I'm fond of, just a personal preference.
Other than short trips we rent a car out of MCO, mostly for split trips but honestly because I'm not a fan of the bus system, again jmho.
You could always fly into MCO & book via SWA for the TPA flight home, but monitor the MCO prices...if they drop, just make the changes.
re rental:
some rental companies will assess you a drop fee if renting somewhere and returning elsewhere. You need to check
if u are talking a true 5 day rental (usually 4 days & several hours will trigger a 5 day/weekly rental) there is often a $25 coupon to be had, and you will meet the Saturday overnight requirement.
Depending on your flight time, you might be able to pick up a car onsite Thursday @ WDW and look into long weekend rates.
