Re: Please tell me

The drive from NJ to WDW is TOO LONG...to DL is just insanity.

Hour 3: "Are we there yet?"
Hour 15: "Are we there yet?"
Hour 38: "Are we there yet?"
Hour 173: "Are we there yet?" "Click, BANG"

Yeah, I think flying is better idea.

C'mon.

A cool Porsche.

Miles of open road.

A hot babe....

Um, never mind.

And as a caveat, I don't get to drive faster than 30 mph, and there's no change of scenery for me.

So if you want somebody to drive for you, let me know..

Re: Please tell me

My 1000 mile drive to DL from Portland is about 16 hours... You would have that multiplied by almost three!!! OUCH!

You should fly!

But if you have a lot of vacation time you could make it a fun road trip by taking some fun sidetreks alongs the way...

I love road trips, but I would never consider driving from Portland to Orlando! My kids would make me crazy!

LOL- I'm not a good flyer, but after driving from Staten Island to WDW 2 years in a row, I was in favor of flying this time. We're planning on going to DL next summer and wouldn't even consider driving. My brother lived in LA for 13 years and drove out a few times, it takes at least 3 days. Ugh! With 2 kids in the car, that's not an option, lol!

Re: Please tell me

We pretty much let that thought go. If we go it will be by air.

Re: Please tell me

I live in Northern California. It should take us 5 hours to drive to DL. But we have to really time our arrival in LA carefully. One year it tooks us 3 hours to go from Valencia to Anaheim. Ugh. I think that it is only 45 miles.
