That the Drive from NJ to Disneyland would be to long. My kids are pushing this idea on my wife.

How long would it take?

I need to plant the flying seed if we go to DL.

**WishUponAStar** · 09-27-2007

Umm, FLY!! Seriously. Unless you made this an all out cross country vaca and stop at all the historic spots along the way for me it would just NOT be worth it. You can get some good flight deals from Newark straight to LAX, I do it everytime we go. Are they afraid of flying?

My wife rather keep her feet on the ground. We just drove to DW and I think she is swinging towards flying. This is the only reason we havent tried DL to date is the long flight or longer drive. If I end up in DW this summer you will know why.

**Dopey** · 09-27-2007

OMG, that would take at least 3 days

I would give the DW a pill and drag her onto a plane

Having driven back and forth between California and Texas when I was in the Navy, it would take three full days of nonstop driving..

HOWEVER.

If you have the time, it would be a fantastic trip to stop every few hours and see history. Not the world's largest ball of string, mind you, but stuff like Gettysburg, St. Louis, Santa Fe, The Grand Canyon..
You could do even more if you felt adventurous and decided to take a less direct route.

In 2003 I helped my brother move from California to North Carolina. It took us four days of driving a u-haul with a late start on the first day, and a detour to San Antonio.

There are some thoughts to ponder, such as having a reliable car, an "emergency fund", and sufficient rest for each driver. I would seriously hit priceline on hotels to get at least a good rate on the hotels..

If I had the time? I would do it. I just drove all over Montana, South Dakota, Wyoming and Colorado with my heir apparent for a week last May..

**cinderbella** · 09-27-2007

Uh...fly.
Unless you really love your kids

That's a joke. I love the romantic sort of idea of driving across the country to California..but then I start to think about the fact that I would have to drive back. Seriously..hit up kayak.com and book the cheapest flight. By the time you factor in gas, ALL those meals, hotel stays, a car check up before you leave ,possible flat tires, a new transmission

they'll add up to about the same.

WishIWasThere · 09-27-2007

Honestly, Id fly.! I did some research on driving before (California to New York and Cali to New Jersey) and it was going to take three to four days. Save the money and time and spend a day or two extra at Disney.

Caseys Corner · 09-28-2007

YUP flying will be the option for me.

Thanks

If I get the all go for DL I will have alot of questions.

I know what you mean. After driving this past trip we all came back alive.

PhilliesFan · 09-28-2007

That is definitely too long of a drive, I would never be able to do it. You can get some pretty good fares out of Philly to LAX on Southwest Air.

Caseys Corner · 09-28-2007

I would like to fly out of ACY but flights are spotty and none direct. I would have to look at philly or newark.
