Dtr_angel, take it from me it is worth the wait!!! I am in total agreement with the PP's. I just started going to DLR. I am going into my fourth year in a row. Such an awesome place! I am a WDW vet, having gone so many times I really do like to count them. I go at least 5-6 times a year to WDW. I am going to make it to DL twice this year, too.
The biggest thing is going to be the cross-country flight. I personally like SW because of the two (2) free bags. I always bring so much back, and this definitely helps. I have flown into both LAX and SNA. I like SNA better, but LAX has more flight choices, especially from the east coast. It is so hard to get a direct flight, unless you are willing to pay a lot of money. So, I go with the one (1) connection. It is more money I can spend at DLR. I am right up the road from you in Jersey. Once you go, you will be scheming (yes that is what I said), to go back every chance you get.
HydroGuy, I know you heard from all the PP's, but your threads are the best. You are our Robo on the WDW side.

I want to thank all the other DLR DIS'ers who helped me when I first started going.

I was totally lost on my first trip. I would like to think I am getting closer to being a DLR vet. I aspire to it.
