Distance to Disney!

[Horizons1]

Not sure on the miles but in time, its just an hour. Of course that depends on the traffic and which route we take but it is usually just an hour.

We usually go out 36 over to I-75 but last year on the way back I found that route home and it saved a lot of time. The distance from Covington to WDW is some where between 430-460 depending on the route!

When is your next trip back to the WORLD?

We actually just got back on Sunday. We spent 4 days at WDW and then took a 7 day cruise on Royal Caribbean's Mariner of the Seas. We had a blast!!

8-9hrs. depending on how the drive goes. Just close enough to drive and not fly . This time we went straight through. It isn't a bad ride if you sleep. :animwink:

Unless you are DRIVING! WAKE UP! It is an easy interstate drive of 9 hours from here. Just long enough to be too far for regularly occurring spontaneous road trips. That lost hour going into the eastern time zone on the way over is a killer.

hehe... roadtrippers. I do not stop. Save for fuel, and sometimes a meal, I don't stop. I can do Orlando, FL - Toronto, ON, CANADA in 23 hours provided there is a clear border crossing.

 

[KumbaRider]

About an Hour and 20-30 minutes.

 

[ChefTigger]

1527.8 miles or way too far...

 

[epcot2004]

1197 or miles / 22 hours to drive. :brick: (That's why we take the 2.5 hour flight now)

Now I can't remember if it was 1197 or 1297 miles. Either way it's too far.

Around 1100 miles away. To think we drove that a ton of times when I was younger. Thank goodness we fly now.

i assume you mean clear border crossing for the sake of time and not what you are smuggling. :lol:

and when you are younger it seems 3 times as far as it actually is. when i was young and we were on a road trip, i would start looking out the window about an hour away thinking i could possible see the castle or SSE. silly me.

 

[Epcot82Guy]

I am 697 miles to Epcot's Front gate from where I currently live (Nashville, TN). I am 1128 miles from "Home" (South Bend, IN). Hopefully I will be under 20 miles come next summer if I can get a job down in Orlando!

 

[Kadee]

506 miles from my driveway to POR! About 7 - 7.5 hours depending on how fast my husband can drive without me complaining.

 

[diddy_mouse]

867.69 miles from my apartment to POFQ...or 13 hrs.

thank goodness we fly

outside the boundries...

1452 miles. That adds up to 3000 miles and four days of driving. Btw I don't know about how you believe in mapquest but, it wants me to take the Hard way to Orlando. I hate driving in Illinois. I much prefer hy 65 and go right to Birmingham. Ths route has no turnoffs at all. Plus instead of taking an old vehicle up Lookout Mountain, I have two hills total, and one is only 30 miles from my door. the other is in Warrrior, Alabama. We stay on Hy65 to 231 and take hy 10 to 75. On 231 there are a bunch of little orange dealers where you actually can get a deal from instead of the rip off artists on Hy 75. Just little Mom and Pop stands on that short area right before you get on hy 10. The key to this driving is LEAVING EARLY IN THE MORNING each day. I mean no later then 5 am from Birimingham, this way you have little local traffic on 231. By the time that traffic would build up, you are already on hy 10.

I just wish that it was closer. when WDW is this far, you can't go on the spur of the moment. Not with gas prices they way that they are now.

 

[MissM]

I think it's about 93-odd miles for me.

Man!

If my family could of only met you sooner! I know you would let us ride down with ya'll in the trunk or something! Right!

Do ya'll have any kids or are just adult (kids)?

But of course we would've stuffed you guys in the trunk. That's what good neighbors do right!?! :lol:
We are a mixture of kids and adults. My entire family are Disney nuts so we usually go to WDW as a big group. Usually we have anywhere from 5 to 8 adults and 2 to 4 kids. Well I say kids but I have a neice who is fixing to be 17 so she probably won't appreciate me calling her a kid :lol: .
