It’s a 16 he drive for us. We usually stop somewhere and sleep on way down but on way back we do the drive nonstop.

We love driving. It definitely takes longer but we find it relaxing and use the drive down to switch from work mode to vacation mode lol

My wife and I just talked last week about maybe driving with my kids down sometime. I just like flying and getting there sooner.

I drove to Disney World from the Boston area years ago, it was a bit too much driving for me. I like to be there in 3 hrs on a jet!

Yes we drive 8 hrs from SC. It's just short enough where we're not too exhausted when you get there and you can still do things.

Drove from central NY only once (took 2 1/2 days). Such a long drive. Flying is so much more convenient but driving works when flying is a challenge.

We drove from NY years ago. It was a long journey but it was fun going from state to state. I was also thinking about taking the train down one day just for the experience.

We always drive from Kentucky. 12 hours by normal car and about 16 when we pull the camper down.

Hi All,
I have driven from Minnesota to Florida visiting Walt Disney World 14 times. My first visit was in December 1971.

I've driven many times from Indiana. When I was a kid we drove from Illinois a couple times, then we eventually moved to Orlando, and the Space Coast after that.

When I lived in East TN, I would drive down every other year starting in 1982 (Epcot opened). Sometimes over a three day weekend. It was a 10.5 hour drive so 90% of the time I stopped in Valdosta GA then got up at oh dark thirty in the morning to make rope drop. Three day weekends, I would go Saturday, Sunday part of Monday, drive home then go to work Tuesday. Yes, I'm nuts, but it's all about Disney.
Now living in Upstate NY, I just hope on a jet and get there in a few hours. When (if) I move to Birmingham AL, it will be an 8.5 hour drive. Or a couple hour drive to Hotlanta and a flight from there.

I've driven from the Boston area I couldn't tell you how many times since the mid-80s, so long's I've got the time I very much enjoy it. Usually take a couple of days going down, three days coming back (a bit more leisurely). It IS true though it's become more physically demanding than in my youth (when I'd made the drive nonstop a few times even)! Hoping to make the run again in early December this year.

And your name validates that.

We’ve driven twice from Pittsburgh and I really don’t mind it either. I love a road trip especially to Disney!

We Drive from Detroit. We use I-75. On Day one we get to about Dalton GA, then Day 2 arrive in WDW. Driving when the **** of snowbirds and trailers and RV's is probably the busiest time to go. I am thankful for XM Radio.
