I am so glad I found this thread!! We are planning a WDW trip for next year and driving, even with gas prices, just makes more sense on the budget. I had totally forgotten about the baggage fee until I read this thread. I didn't figure that into the figures I'm going to show my hubby on how much it will save us to drive. He thinks I need to be admitted into the funny farm in Wichita Falls for even suggesting it.
Yahoo maps shows it being just under 18 hours from our house to the WL. The main part that I am worried about (going by the yahoo map directions) is the section just after you exit 75 and get onto 429. I just wonder how much the tolls are. If it would be better to get a tag, or just make sure I keep quarters in the mini van.
We just traded in my '98 Explorer on a '07 Caravan, which at first I did not want anything to do with a mini van. In fact the first time my hubby and I went on the lot, he asked me if I saw anything I liked. I said, "Well I know one thing, I don't want that one (pointed at the mini van) b/c I don't want anything to do with a mini van." Now that I am thinking of driving, the DVD player in it will make the drive with our boys much easier.
