I just priced airfare for spring break and can't find anything out of austin less then $1200 for the four of us (blah) and that is with one stop along the way. The non-stops are around $1600. That is just too much for me to justify flying :(
Yes has been a while. Just had too much going on to join in. Now that I am in the process of planning again and with the winter here now, I can get on the computer

DH and I figured it would cost roughly $500 to drive and hopefully straight through. We'll also have one of my step sons with us to help with the driving. It will be his first trip with us. He has been to WDW probably 1000 with his mom and we can finally snag him to go with us. We are all very excited!!!!!

We're hoping to drive straight through but I will have hotel numbers in case we decide to stop. Plus I will have food packed to help save on meal costs during the driving.
