That would have been the Buena Vista Palace. Now owned by Hilton.

Sounds about right. It happened to be the closest depot when the engine management started acting up and cutting out.

Had to change a tyre in palm springs last month in 46c heat,felt like I changed them all.Took the tyre to an American Tyre store who fixed and changed the tyre and was free,don't know if that's nationwide but could be an option for you if you wanted to keep the car.

Well we popped over to the Disney car care centre today after pumping the tyre up again. They swopped the car for us my husband is not too happy as they could only offer us a dodge caravan. Still never mind at least it works.

What class have you booked? Don't put up with a downgrade or something you aren't happy with. Pop back if they have had you over.

Agreed - if swapping the car due to a problem they should be upgrading you or making some other concession.

They tried to fob me off with a Jeep Compass in LAX when I'd paid for a convertible - erm no I'll have the Camaro hard top instead thanks!

It's not actually a downgrade we had a Hyundai Santa Fe before. However we really did not want anything bigger than that. Not to worry though we have had a dodge caravan previously and at least it is comfortable to sit in.

Ahh thats ok then. On their pricing model the 7 seater is invariably more expensive.
Hope you have no more car issues now.
