We fly. In the past it has been on Southwest (1 or more free tickets usually), but the flight times, well, suck. I don't mind getting up super early to catch an early flight TO Orlando. I absolutely hate getting up super early to catch a flight out.

From now on we'll get the late fight out, get home late, and spend the day shopping before catching the Magical Express back to KMCO.

We fly using frequent flyer miles (Aeroplan) with Air Canada. Although the flight times and connections are not always all that convenient, it allows us more $$ to spend at WDW.

Since I am not travelling for business much anymore, no more free flights, so we'll look at driving over the border and flying out of the US for our next trip. MUCH cheaper than Air Canada from where I live.

When my son and I fly. We take southwest airlines. We can always get cheap rates when we take our trips. My last trip I first payied $130.00 to go to wdw by the time feb 09 came I payied $77.00 to go and $99.00 to come back home. At the end we ended up with a credit that we are getting cheap tickets again that we going the weekend of 4th of july :mickey3: :ccat:

It would be fun to drive, but it would also take us the entire week to do so. I think we're 5 driving days from Disney right now.

Take a taxi or limo to Newark airport and hop on either a Continental or JetBlue flight to Orlando, which is around 2.5 hours. We then rent a car and drive to the house of the mouse.

We drive. We only live 8 hours away. Though I'm going to start flying down in January when I resume work down there. It'll be easier.

We used to live in Jax, FL, which is about a 2.5 hour drive. It was easy to take day trips and such. NOW we are in Maryland and will be driving for our May trip. The 14 hours in the car (with 3 kids) will be a MAJOR difference then what we were used to. :cry:
