    Being from NY, we have no desire to drive. Plus we want to get to WDW as soon as possible, and leave as late as possible.

    We fly, but we have driven twice. We drove most recently in March and I think that will be our last driving trip for many reasons.

    We usually drive when we head down, but last time we took the train. It was fantastic. We got on the train at 30th street station in Philadelphia, and got off in Kissimmee. The food was great, and the train ride is excellent. I highly reccomend it.

    I fly to WDW. Montreal is 2000 miles away and taking a bus would take 36 hours! the train cost more than the plane. Looks like I will keep on flying...

    Oops. I missed the "you can choose more than one" thing until after I voted.

    Living in NYC, I actually had to take a bus, then 3 trains, then the airplane, then the shuttle from MCO to get to Disney World last month.

    Hmmm....it might be faster to drive myself!

    We usually drive - it's a lot cheaper and I like the freedom of coming and going when I please rather than on an airline schedule. I also can take whatever I want that fits in the car and not have to worry about airport security or lost luggage.

    We have only been once this year and we drove from OH... Yikes, what a drive with a 5 and a 16 yr old. My kids were excellent but the drive is still long. Next year we plan on flying but... I have never flown because I am afraid of planes so we will see. When I checked the airfare and the cost of driving it still was best for us to drive but than again... less time in WDW. I think the choice is what you prefer... Have fun..

    Smile Gotta fly!!

    We fly ! Although the cost (in dollars) is higher, we get more vacation time in WDW . The trade off is worth it for us. Besides, after about 4 hours in a car I start to go !

    Default How do you get to WDW?

    I voted for fly because the last two times and the future one in 2 days we have flown, but all our other 10 or 11trips we drove we really have good memories of our trips and the kids liked it, but they are all older now so we would rather fly and get there faster,

    Road trips make me crazy! And on "D" day we wake up & are just ready to be there and let the fun begin!

    Default We Drive

    We drive very trip. Having four of us in the family and only living seven hours away we save a lot of cash driving. We get to spend the money at Disney while we are there. We get to buy those extras while we are there as well as catch other attractions if we have the time.

    Unfortunately, we drive from Missouri almost every year-it is a 20-22 hour drive and we drive it straight through!

    Well, I used to drive just 2 1/2 hours when I was in S.Florida, but now I have to fly - I could drive if I wanted to, but I know myself and I want to get there as fast as I can - so I prefer flying!!

    We drive for long stays (12 days or more) and fly for short stays (10 days or less). I prefer driving (even 23-24 hours away!) to killing time in an airport any day! We drove down in the summer with DS8 and DS2 making one overnight stop each way -- It was not a problem for any of us (gotta love portable DVD players!). We will be flying after Christmas, as we will only be going for 6 days.
