Hi, we just returned from WDW. We used Vacation Express out of AVP (Wilkes-Barre - Scranton airport).
We left on Friday April 30th. The flight was about 3/4 full. Checking in was quick, no line. We got there about 5:45 for a 6:45AM flight. There was a short line at the security checkpoint, but we breezed through that in 5 minutes. The flight started boarding about 6:35, we took off around 6:55AM. It was a big 737, 3 seats on each side of the aisle. Staff was friendly and nice, no problems to speak off. Sanford airport was dead when we arrived about 9:15AM, right on time! The airport was easy to navigate. There were no porters around to help with luggage, so we rented one of those 3 dollar carts to get our stuff around. Dollar rental car was very SLOW even though it was not busy. They were washing the cars which caused the 15-20 minute wait for a car. According to the dollar agent, the airport does not get busy until noon or so.
The drive to Disney was a breeze, it took about 40 minutes. We used 417 South, about 5 dollars in tolls on the way down.
Coming home this past Sunday the Sanford airport was dead again. We arrived about 2 1/2 hours before the flight departure (5:45PM). We had to wait about 20 minutes before the agents arrived to check in. No lines anywhere, flight left on time with almost a full plain. I would recommend Vacation Express to anyone!
Tips for Sanford aiport, Vacation Express is in terminal B. If you rent a car, drop someone off with the luggage in front of the terminal and then take the car to return. That can be a bit of a long walk with a lot of luggage to carry alone. Once again they did have the $3 rental carts there at the car return. They are some places to eat, basic burgers and pizza. There is a small store that had some Disney items.
Any questions please ask away!
