Disney Is the Happiest Place on Earth, if You Can Afford It

Thank you!

The amount of time it took was a barrier though. We lived near Chicago and every trip to WDW involved 2 days of driving each way. Burning 4 days of your vacation just traveling to/from the destination is less than ideal so people chose more local destinations.

All of my trips as a child were road trips all over the country. I have fond memories of that. I never went to WDW. We lived 30 minutes from DL. At least driving you didn't have to worry about delays and cancellations. It took me 2 days to get home from Orlando in July, My flight cancelled along with numerous others. Not the first or last time that will happen.
