Like many of you, I am my family live 1+ hours from the main airports. We LOVE to get to Disney very early in the morning so we pretty much have an extra day and can do lunch and hop into a park.
Having said this... it is very difficult to get up 3:30am to get everyone up and ready and out the door (your car should be packed night before with your DME already to do!). Then you have to DRIVE! Who wants to drive this early in the morning?! Not I!
So here is the brilliant plan for you all to look into. For us its BDL (Hartford, CT). We checked around the hotels directly near the airport and low and behold came across a hotel that will let us keep out car in their parking lot, let us spend the night then shuttle us to AND FROM! the airport.
So instead of driving the morning of your flight, you drive up the evening or day before and just relax and take it easy and be in all excitement to see palm trees the next day. Then the morning of your flight you get up 1.5hours before flight and get shuttled over to the airport and Boom! Next think you know your having your picture taken with the big cheese himself!
This is such an awesome way to start off a trip and not be tired and miserable from having to wake up a 330am! The prices of there rooms where something like $80-120 if I remember correctly. Hope this helps some of you out who live a good distance from the airport and dont want to pay an arm and a leg to keep your car in airport parking! It pays to do your homework! :thumbsup:
