driving and gas$

[excitedmom]

so i drove to disney monday the 6th. I left ontario and my first gas stop was just outside detroit - i had quarter of a tank and it cost $30US to fill up. Next stop was jellico, tennessee and with quarter tank again it cost $32 to fill up. stopped for the night in cordele, georgia and in the morning filled up at a cost of $31. We got to CBR with half a tank left and this was with us running the air constantly. On the way home we only ran the air in FL and GA. and we only had to stop twice for gas so $60 for the return trip. the rates ranged between 1.60 and 1.89 but i can't remember exatly what the rates where when we stopped. also that was with a 2004 chevy venture van. hope this helped someone

Considering the price of gas, that's not too bad. We do a lot of driving while we're in WDW, and I find that our gas ranges between $150 and $175 US for our entire trip.

thanks for sharing ... it will help someone. Where did you originate from in Ontario? We're in London.

We drove to Disney last September and it cost no more
than 150.00 with a mini van. Am venturing to drive again next September.
I'm also from London and it took us about 21 hours. Great going there but coming home was kind of a bummre!!

We never used the van to get to the Theme Parks but we did go to Universal one day. But mostly the van stayed in the parking
lot of the resort. A long drive with the grandkids but renting a car is going to save me quite a bit of money as opposed to flying, taking Robert Q to the Detroit airport, a limo from the Orlando airport to the resort etc.
