We fly out of CVG, so probably very close to you. For me the concern was the 3 hour time difference, versus no time difference and a slightly shorter travel time to WDW. We just got back from Disneyland with a 2 and 5 year old and it was fantastic! We stayed the first 2 nights of our trip at the beach, which worked out great with the time difference. The kids woke up at 4 am in cali the first day, which would have been bad at DL since the park didn't open until 9. I'm glad we worked in the beach days - by the time we got to disney everyone was sleeping on pacific time and able to stay up late as well.
