Buses, Boats, and Monorails

So I've been debating on this for weeks. Should I rent a car while I am in DisneyWorld or should I just use Disney Transportation? It's the age old question as far as transportation at the Mouse's House.

So here are the pros & cons of each:

Disney Resort Travel

Pro

• I don't have to drive anywhere
• Cost=$0
• The kids would love to ride the boat & monorail
• Can be picked up from the airport and returned to the airport
• No hassle with car pickup and drop-off
• Disney will pick-up luggage and delivery to airport

Cons

• Upwards waits of 20 minutes to get to and from a location via bus, or other transporation.
• Monorail is only available for Magic Kingdom, Epcot & a few select resorts
• Boat is only available to and from a few select locations
• Travelling to some locations could result in 2 or more transporation options to get there.
• Can only use the bus to get to and from our resort
• Taking a chance of bus being full and waiting for next available bus
• Luggage may not arrive at resort before we do ( possible 3-5 hour wait )

Rent-a-car
Pros

• Can come and go as we please
• Can stop on the way to resort to pickup water, chips, etc.
• Parking at the resort and parks is free for resort guests
• No wasted time waiting on transportation

Cons

• I'm out almost $200 for 9 days
• To be able to come-and-go as I please I have to drive everywhere
• I have to put gas in the car
• Pick-up & Drop-off

So my decision is - - - Rent-A-Car. Based on my travel itinerary within the park, we will be travelling to-and-from the resort at least twice a day. That would be an upward possibility of around 11 hours of time spent waiting on transportation. That's more than an entire day in a park. It's worth the $200 to come-and-go as we please. To top it off, we can still take a trip on the monorail, and possibly the boat, and it doesn't cost anything extra for either of those.
