We live in College Station, which is not too far from Houston (about 90 miles) and we drove to WDW. It took us about 21 hours, however, we stopped several times for restaurant breaks, coffee and bathroom breaks, plus it rained most of the way there and it night time. We did not leave until 1 or 2 pm and we arrived the next morning.
I am really hoping that our next trip will give us sunny days the whole time!!
We're in 2 places right now (looooooong story!).... Georgetown half the time and Venus (the town, not the planet! - near Arlington) half the time... We drive every trip, always "starting" in The Woodlands from my bil's house....
Native Texan here! I live in New Braunfels, home of America's #1 waterpark- Schlitterbahn!
*New Braunfels is on I35 between Austin & San Antonio.
ETA: We've driven four times including July '07. We take two days (stayed overnight in Pensacola, FL); about 18 hours of driving. We've flown six times. Much prefer flying. The Orlando airport is nice!
