A 12 seater wouldn't be much bigger at all over an 8 seater. We had the 7 seater Town & Country and it was the size of a van. While daunting at first once you've driven it once you'll wonder why you were worried. Wider lanes, bigger parking spaces and automatic transmission. Easy as pie!

We travelled at the beginning of May this year and we had an 8 seater, I think it was called a GMC Yukon XL, but they also had Toyota Sienna's. We booked a 7 seater originally but upgraded to an 8 seater at the airport

I forgot to add that we fit 6 adults and 2 children with car seats and all of our luggage which was 7 suitcases and a double pram in the boot, it was a beast of a car, DH loved it!

GMC Yukon xl,Chevrolet Suburban and the Ford Expedition xl can all be had with 8 seats from Alamo, but even these with there massive boots will be tight with your luggage.

They do, Toyota Sienna. I got a quote from USCarhire and best deal was with Alamo £560 for 2 weeks in January. Don't fancy a 12 seater either so we can manage to and from the airport with the luggage as won't be for too long.

As I said. With Alamo you pick up the car at Disney so the luggage factor is irrelevant.

I will need to look into that. I just automatically put in MCO for pickup and collect, but can maybe use magical express instead and get car there.
