Toronto-WDW-how much I spent in gas

[karenr518]

We always fly down but we are thinking on going to HH in 2008 and would like to drive then. This thread was a great idea for anyone thinking of flying vs driving. We paid $522us through Buf. KAREN 518 we live in stoney creek.

That was your flight for how many people? If that's 4 people, that's amazing!I still prefer flying over driving, and renting a car, just because of the time factor. Even if it's a couple hundred dollars more to fly and rent a car, it's worth it to me. Stoney Creek? That's so close to me. I'm in Caledonia.

Thanks for posting this information on the cost of fuel. We are driving to WDW in February and I was wondering how much to budget for fuel.

Your cost for fuel will likely be lower than mine though, because when I went in July/August, gas was $1.06/litre, and now it's down to .79/litre! Hopefully, gas prices will stay low for when you leave.

Just wondering for all of you who have driven, what extra emergency stuff did you bring??? We will be going down in January in a older vechicle ('97 Aerostar) and my husband is worried about breaking down etc.

A CAA membership, a cell phone, a credit card, and Dave Hunter's Along The I75. Walmart and CTC carry decent auto emergency kits, for your husband's piece of mind.
