We had always rented a car until we went in December 2002. While it was more relaxing using the bus system, I think we will rent again during our next trip. While taking the bus was efficient to go from resort to park and back, it just isn't if you are going resort to resort. To drive from POFQ to WL takes about 5 minutes, but it will take about an hour on the bus.

If you plan on staying at a moderate, and plan on visiting other resorts during your stay, I would suggest renting. You can get a small car for about $100 for the week. Even if you only use it to get to WDW and back, and to drive to other resorts a couple of times during the week, you will be way ahead. Still, use the bus system to get to the parks and back. It won't be crowded in early December, so you shouldn't have to wait too much for the bus. It is much more relaxing not having to worry about finding the car, parking and everything else.
