When thinking about Disney you have to figure out how you will get there~driving or flying?
With the price of gas flying seems cheaper and faster at times then when you throw in the new charges for baggage and seating arrangements it can be pricey!
Flying:There are a lot of things to consider.
Car Rental /Transportation: if you are staying onsite you more than likely will not need a vehicle. Disney has transportation to and from the airport via Disney’s Magic Express as long as fly in and out of Orlando International. If you fly into the Orlando/Sanford airport you will have to find and pay for your own transportation to and from the Disney Resorts. Flying into Orlando/Sanford tickets are usually cheaper but when you calculate in the cost of transportation once you arrive flying into Orlando International may be a better deal. Also, unless you have someone to drop you off at the departing airport you will need to calculate parking while you are away as well, that adds up fast.
Time: Driving certainly takes longer but I live 9 hours away. The best price on flight was from an airport 2 hours away. By the time we drove to the airport, got there 2 hours early , arrived at Orlando International, boarded the Magic Express and arrived at the resort we may have saved 2 hours. Though the flight was only a little over an hour the process was around 7 hours, so it cost more for 4 of us and only saved us 2 hours. I will probably drive from now on.
Driving: The cost of gas keeps going up and down but regardless it is up! Calculate the cost it may be a cost effective way to travel verses flying but that is all based on the number of people traveling and what airport you are flying into. If you have a dependable vehicle and plenty of time make it a road trip for your family and make some stops along the way. There are toll roads in Florida so have some change handy.
Just take these things into consideration and calculate what would work for you best, time wise and dollar wise.
Unless you are South of Tennessee you will probably be passing through Chattanooga. Click on over and read more about my hometown, Chattanoga and make that a stop along the way.
