Should we hire a car for 1 day of shopping?
Really want to visit Florida Mall and a few outlet malls is it worth hiring a car just for the day?
We are staying at SSR and I thought it would be pretty easy to get to Florida Mall (like 2012 when it was just 1 bus from DTD) Also could anyone recommend a car hire place close to DTD? Many thanks kelly |

I absolutely would but I'd go to the outlets at the end of international drive instead of the Florida Mall. Same shops but you save a fortune.

Also you could us the Disney Car Care which is at the Dolphin or the Swan (I think). Someone with more mouse experience will no doubt be along to give better information soon.

I was thinking this but we didnt in the end
We are staying on site so were going to use the car care centre in Disney. The reason we didnt is because although we are both fairly confident drivers, in the grand scheme of things we arent really experienced. I've been driving 4 years and oh 6. And neither of us have driven abroad before. We've decided we're on holiday, s*d it, we'll get taxis and relax and not stress about driving |

Really excited for cheesecake factory that was the decider.
DW really doesn't want to drive more than we have to and is only willing to get a car if I promise not to drive it (only passed last month) |

We plan to do the same, also staying at SSR.
We're going to book online in advance through Alamo Brits for car hire for two separate days. I've factored this into our itinerary, made sure that the ADRs that are the most difficult to get to from SSR are done on these days as we will have the car all day and can return it after an evening meal and get dropped back at our hotel. There's no way I'm missing out on my shopping fix |

We're doing 1 day car hire too on the 3rd Feb for shopping.
Can anyone confirm which of the 2 closet walmarts is the best please. I don't want to waste time driving to the wrong one! Is the super centre on Vine street the biggest of the 2? |
