Anyone flown into DAB, MLB or TPA?

I'm looking at airfares for our November trip, and I'm always hearing that you should look into flying into near-by airports...

Has anyone flown into DAB (Daytona Beach), MLB (Melbroune) or TPA (Tampa)?

How far are the drives from those airports to WDW area?


Thanks!

They would all take over an hour. Probably closer to an hour and a half.

Daytona would be on I-4 so it depends on what time you are flying in how long it would take. The same for Tampa. Melbourne you can take I-95 or 192. 192 is pretty rural and one lane in each direction in some areas.

A couple of years ago we flew into Tampa. The drive wasn't bad at all. A little over an hour IIRC.

I figured it would take about that long... guess I'll have to wait til everyone releases their flights and figure out what's best. Thanks!

My company has a regional office in Melbourne, so I have flown into MLB many times, as well as MCO and driven to Melbourne. Actually a funny story about that and our last trip to WDW, but that can be another story. The drive is not that bad, a little over an hour by the interstate. I think the ease of getting from the gate to baggage, getting your bags and literally walking out of the terminal into the rental car lot makes up for some of the drive time. MCO can sometimes take a while for all that to get done. MLB is a small airport and limited flights in and out. My only concern would be getting a flight schedule that is agreeable to you.
