We Fly - either impossible to drive, or just too far
-
We live close enough to drive
-
We are far away, but we still drive to save money
-
Other - ride bike, walk, etc.
-
I drive, wish I could walk. I only live 2.5hrs away. To fly it would take longer to get to the airport, check in, get my bags from Orlando airport, jump on ME, than it would to drive. Not that I haven't thought about it.

Been to the land of happiness more times than I can count and still going.

The first time I went, my family drove there. From Indiana to Florida, it was a 16 hour drive. It didn't bother me too much, because my parents were driving, and I got to stay in the back anticipating the upcoming adventure.
Then, my mom and I decided to go on a trip without dad and my sister. My mom finally got the guts to fly. Both of us loved it and will being doing it again this upcoming November along with all of the times that we will be going again!

We live in Mobile, Alabama, and are close enough to drive. My parents live in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, and we generally drive there the night before. The next morning, we drive the 5 or so hours to Disney, getting there about 2:30. On the sad day we have to leave, we drive the whole 7 hours home.

We fly. We make an adventure out of it. My DS loves the airport! I guess we could drive, but I sometimes have to hold my breath when we're on a short drive, hearing "are we there yet" and couldn't imagine hearing it for such a long trip!

we will be making the 16 1/2 hour drive at the end of august. we have 2 little boys and we are hoping they will sleep during the over night drive. we had a terrible experience flying when our oldest was 2. hoping the drive will be less stressful
-
Oh, how I wish we lived close enough to drive! I'm sure our trips to WDW would be more frequent. We live in California and would not dare to drive! (I just looked it up on Google Maps and it would take us 1 day + 18 hours to drive - no thanks)!
It takes us about 6 hours to drive to Disneyland, though!

We fly, but I would like to try driving at some point.

We drive from Maine. Takes about 20-23 hours. Never done it straight through and never will.

As a kid, we always drove to Disney. My mom will not fly. So, as it came time for my family to go, naturally we drive. If we leave at 4am we are there at 4pm. We stop to eat and there are potty breaks. We don't mind driving and I think it's part of the experience. My siblings and myself can normally remember trips by what happened in the car ride to where ever we where going. When I look back I wouldn't have changed it,

We HAVE to fly, unless they have developed a car that can drive over oceans and runs on sunlight, yeah sadly its a long flight from New Zealand. Oh well maybe someday we will be able to say I use the teleport and am in WDW in a flash. Now that would be awesome!

We have done both. I like to drive. I don't like flying (one bad experience). DW likes to fly. We compromise, so naturally DW gets her way.

That's about 90MPH avg. I don't want to be in front of you going down I75.

We flew on our last trip and our trip in Sept we will be flying as well- but our next trip we might drive so we can camp.

I marked that "we drive to save money", but that's not the primary reason. We drive because I'm terrified of flying. It's an 18 hour drive, and we prefer to drive straight through. We tried stopping half way on our return trip last year and swore we'd never do that again. We prefer just buckling down and getting to our destination. If we leave around 1-2pm, we get in about 8am the next morning. We have a 2-hour daily commute (1 hour each way), so long drives don't bother us. However, once we get to WDW, we don't go near our car until it's time to leave. The drive actually helps us unwind and get into vacation mode.
