Not sure if this is too late for you at this point, but perhaps for future stays.... We (2 adults + 2 pre-teens) have driven from Ottawa to Syracuse and flown the following morning for our past 2 trips to WDW - Feb. 2009 and Feb. 2011. The first trip we stayed at the Best Western and the second time at the Holiday Inn Express. Both are less than 5 minutes to the airport and both were very clean. We preferred the Holiday Inn for the queen sized beds though. Flying direct from Syracuse saved a bundle on air fare - both trips less than half the price had we flown from home!
