How many miles from your home to Disney?

**SBETigg** · 03-20-2009, 10:01 AM

I'm about 1350 miles away. We fly and get there in a few hours. We did make the drive once when I was a kid. We made frequent stops, two overnight stays, and it took two and a half days that way.

It's something I occasionally think about doing again, but my spoiled kids think it sounds like torture. I give them my "back in my day..." stories and they laugh and think they have it so much better, but those road trips were good times.

Just about 1100 miles, 22 hours straight through to the Disney gates!

Most times we stop in Bluffton SC on the way down, but sometimes the feeling takes over and we keep on driving!

From Two-Mountains,Québec it is 2385KM (wich is 921 miles)
Never did it, but will do it one day fore sure.

Especially during winter time, i could see the changes in the weather, watching rhe snow disappear from state to state...and the temperature getting warmer and warmer !

Depending on which resort, just a little over 1000 miles and 15.5 - 17 hrs - the shorter time is if we drive overnight rather than all day.

343 miles to the intersection of Buena Vista & World Drive (close to Epcot and DHS).

Takes us 5 hours to drive with one stop for gas and potty break.

1020 mi, about 16 hours by car.

**caryrae** · 03-20-2009, 12:39 PM

21 miles. That's from the Orlando Airport to CSR.

**pinktweety** · 03-20-2009, 01:04 PM

I am from Cali so it is way too long but we fly to get there as quickly as possible. Can't wait until our Christmas trip!! DL is much closer. That is my second home

Either way I can't stay away from Disney magic too long.

**FlaTinkRAMESAM** · 03-20-2009, 01:24 PM

about 50 miles... a little under an hour drive...

**BamaJenn** · 03-20-2009, 01:50 PM

In 2005 and 2006 we were only a little over 2 hours away. Unfortunately we no longer have that luxury.

We are now about an 8 hour drive (465 miles roughly) from our door to the World (including a pit stop or two on the way).

Wow how do you manage that? I'm 20 miles closer and it takes us 8. LOL!

It's just over 1000 miles from our house in North Houston, TX, according to Google maps. We've never driven it (yet), but my family keeps trying to talk me into it. Luckily, airfares always seem to come down just enough every time we get ready to go.

We used to live in Atlanta, and that's about what it took us.

Note: According to Google Maps, it's 7hrs, 21 minutes. I think we did it once in under 7hrs, driving at night, and maybe a little bit over the speed limit.

It all depends on type of highways, road construction, traffic, weather, and the number and length stops you make. We make several of the same trips every year, from 5 to 12 hours and the driving time on each of them always varies. On our 5 hour driving trip to WDW, if we can stop just once for gas and restroom, and keep that stop under 10 minutes, we can usually make it in just under 5 hours. This requires keeping the cruise control on 75 mph and no traffic jams so you can keep up your average speed up past 65. Our drive is Interstate/controlled access 4 lane all the way. Except for traffic, we only have to slow down for the toll booths when we get to the turnpike and 429 (Western Way)

Driving at night (all night) can also greatly reduce travel time, traffic is usually much reduced and gas stations, restrooms etc. are never crowded. We used to do that when the kids were little and would sleep all the way. Leave home at 2:00 am, arrive at WDW at 7:00 a.m.
