I personally like to have a car while I'm there even when we used the monorail for MK & Epcot. It is nice to have the option. The bus to Downtown Disney can take a while and I love to shop there! I think the rate you listed for the rental car is a bit high. You might consider researching some lower rates. Check out the links for rental car on mousesavers.com. I found a great rate using Mary Warning's suggestions. We rented from National and got a free Emerald Club membership using dicount codes. National and many others are just a short walk across the street from the airport terminal... on the property. Once we picked up our luggage at baggage claim we were out of the airport and on the road in under 20 min. We rented from Dollar another time and had to take a shuttle and then stood in line for over an hour! Great rate but big hassle. If you can get the free Emerald Club with National, it is a great hassle free way to go. We rented a full size in Jan for 5 days for under $100.
