Transportation from four corners to parks

Hi Everyone,

We have a villa for 10 nights located at windsor hills which looking on map is off livingston road.
just working out car hire with on site parking cost compared to different transportation options which im not sure of as last visit we had a car the whole time. Ideally I don't want to drive this time but will if need be

thanks, Jon

I have no knowledge of Uber but found the fare calculator. $10+ to the MK parking lot.

So $20 for the return journey.

I would hire a car as you are going to be so isolated. Add on dining out, shopping etc and the Disney parking fees will become cost effective.

However taking into account the rental car cost on top probably Uber is cheaper overall.

Thats the best I can do sorry.

Check checking my UBER app based on real time prices.. Standard Uber $12.47 - Uber XL £19.74 one way from the the centre of Windsor hills to MK transportation centre.

A car is a must... I would not stay in a villa without a car.

We stayed in a villa at Formosa so same distance . Although we had a car with three generations we did split sometimes so used Lyft.
Next time we get a villa so long as it's close I'd seriously consider a car for partstay only (for KSC, beach etc) as it worked so well. Basing on hiring an SUV you could get two round trips in a day for the same cost as hire plus parking with the added benefit of not needing a designated driver if all adults drink and dropping closer than the outer reaches of the parking lot. With Lyft and Uber it has become a viable option for park based Holidays.
I'm glad we tried it as it opened my eyes as I thought it would be an essential for a villa holiday but for the closest to Disney communities it isn't (the further out ones of course a car is essential still)

Hi there,

We’ve booked at Villa at Indian Creek this year, we are not doing Disney parks this time 😭😭 but will use the car for Seaworld, Busch etc. We definitely plan to eat out most nights and have a few drinks so will be relying on Uber for this... the Uber estimate website is great and will give you an idea of price from your villa to whatever destination you choose

Pretty spot on prices ... I just dug out my Lyft receipts for September , Four Corners to the Poly was $12.44 ... reckon on a minimum of £30 per day with fuel for a decent car and add $25 for parking and that's two round trips a day and change over using Lyft so even with returning to the villa and going out again for fireworks or dinner is viable. The longest we waited from ordering on the app was eight minutes , usually it was five so probably quicker than waiting for the parking shuttle or a car park hike with tired legs.

I really can't see why it's a must unless you are staying way out.

As the SW Busch and Aquatica Ultimate currently includes free parking a car makes more sense for you though Wanting a drink changes it again ... there's no one answer lol
