Do you need a car to get around Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida?
If you're staying at a Disney resort, the answer is "not really". Once you're at a resort, you can easily get to your park of choice via bus, ferry, Skyliner, and/or monorail.
Minnie Van
There are multiple transportation options between the airport and resorts, one of which is Minnie Van Service. These polka-dotted vans can be ordered through the Lyft app and provide seating for up to 5 people, a complimentary car seat, and two spaces for mobility devices.
Bus Service
All resorts offer bus transportation to and from the resort and Disney Springs or the resort and Disney theme parks.

Skyliner
The Skyliner, one of my family's favorite ways to get around Disney, is accessible from Disney's Art of Animation Resort, Disney's Pop Century Resort, Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort, and Disney's Riviera Resort. This gondola system connects those resorts to Hollywood Studios and EPCOT. Plus, the EPCOT station is within walking distance of Disney's BoardWalk entertainment district, Disney's Yacht Club Resort, Disney's Beach Club Resort, and Disney's BoardWalk Inn.

If you DO rent a car AND you stay at a resort, parking at the resort is free and so is parking at the parks!
