Being retired has it's advantages, so we now drive down twice a year, it's nice to have your own transportation and a great place to store all the souveniers!!
We drive everytime we go. We rent a conversion van from the local RV place, pile in all the luggage that we want to take, leave when we want, stop when we want, and enjoy some well needed "quiet" family time. We drive from northwest PA and it takes about 2 days to get there. (We are not marathon drivers.) This gives us a wonderful opportunity to unwind from our busy daily routines and morph into the disney maniacs that we want to be. We are truly relaxed when we arrive and we are ready to PARTY - Disney style.
