It is at least a 19 hour drive to Disney for us. If we have two drivers, we opt for the straight through and get it over option. If there is only one driver, we have to stop. Just priced out flights for my family: Milwaukee to Orlando was over $1600! Looks like we will be driving if we want to visit Florida anytime soon.
Cost was the biggest reason we started driving going back over the years. (Although now, as I noted above, it has become one of the things we actually look forward too).
With the flight costs today, plus transportation, rental etc., driving lets us either save a nice sum, or, do an upgrade once in a while to a deluxe. It's also caused us to extend our average trip from 8 days, to usually 12-14.
