POLL: PLANES, TRAINS, or AUTOMOBILES?

[yensid67]

If you posted your vote in this poll, please take time to tell us what you voted for and why! If you are going to WDW within BEFORE 2016, please let us know of your mode of transportation

I made my vote for TRAINS, because the prices are cheaper than flying for us and the fact we have never taken a train before adds to the journey and makes it more exciting than doing something we already have done before like driving or flying!

Car because I live in Miami and it's in Orlando Area so it's 3 - 4 hours away no point in buying a ticket for me. I also been by bus, and not very fun....

 

[Jahona]

Planes. I love to fly. I've done an all night trip from North Texas to Orlando.... Never again.

Plane. It's about 20 hours to Orlando from here (with rest stops) and between gas, tolls, snacks, and possibly staying over halfway if we don't want to be exhausted when we get there, it's really just easier to fly. My family always drove growing up and while it was fun driving there, the way home was awful.

Plane, its a long swim from the UK

It's a 20+-hour drive from our home in NY, so for us, planes, it is! We have great daily direct service to Orlando on JetBlue from Syracuse, and I use a JetBlue AmEx to collect points for the trip, so it only costs us about $100 more to fly the 4 of us down every 2-3 years than we'd pay for gas if we drove, since 2 of us are flying for free. (Also, from here, a train would actually cost more than flying, and would take 3 days!)

If it's just the 2 of us for a week or less, flying is the best way. When the whole family is going, or depending on the time of year, the 22 hour drive works better.

We fly, but hate Disney transportation so we rent an SUV when we get there. If we drove then I'd be divorced before we got to Orlando. Anyone see National Lampoon's Vacation?

From the UK - it has to be a plane

 

[Plowboy]

It's a long drive from No. Calif., so it's got to be plane.

That has to be a long plane ride too isn't it? Granted, it is shorter than a drive.

Usually fly out of SMF to DEN and then to MCO. At best it's about 8 hours travel time.

I thought 3 hours in a plane in coach seating was brutal. Luckily I forgot the pain of flying from Japan to the US when I was a kid.

 

[Susan Savia]

We always go the 15 hours by car.

 

[NeverEnufDisney]

We usually use planes, but have hauled our trailer down the 20 hours to Orlando.

 

[MorganKelly]

We have flown to WDW for every visit but one when Amtrak ran a terrific 2-for-1 deal. We live in Southeast PA and flights to Orlando are plentiful. It is an easy 2 hour flight. We try to book around fare sales. Once we retire we do plan a road trip. I actually look forward to that. Flying has become very stressful.

 

[tor29c]

I prefer by air. Driving from PA takes about 20 hours; flying gets us there is just over 2 hours.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Flying, it's a two hour nonstop flight for us.

 

[R W B]

We drive from New Orleans. It's a 9-11hr drive depending on who's riding (if anyone) with us. It's not so bad. I would like to fly for one of our next trips just to experience it, use DME and what not so we'll see.
