Car sizes

Morning all,

Daft question and apologies if already asked,

we normally get a 7 seater as it just about fits the 6 (all adults) of us plus luggage however next year (if we get to go) we could have 7 adults and the 7 seater probably wouldn't fit us, now I now the only time it will be full is when we go from the airport,

has anyone used an 8 seater ? is is a reasonable size ? did it fit you all in with luggage ?

cheers

Jason

I've had 6 adults with hand luggage plus 6 cases in an eight seater and it was close, I had to stuff them in. Fluffychicken's suggestion is a good one.

There's no way we would have made it back to the airport - we had extra cases on the way back so used the Uber trick to get them to Disney Springs check in.

One year there was 8 of us and we had a Ford Transit minibus. Plenty of room think it was a 12 seater. 😊

Cheers,

Yes and they have bigger parking spaces than us so a bonus.

Less than $10 I think, it was only BWV's to the Springs.
