With high airfares and baggage costs, many people choose to drive to their Disney vacation. Several years ago we purchased a RV and use this to make the 20 hour drive more enjoyable - and still the cost of gas is less than air for our family and we have all the comforts of home on the move.
There are some tricks to using a RV as your transportation. One tip I can tell you is about parking at the port for cruises. We have found the best deal is to stay at a hotel with a shuttle to the ship. The port charges more for the RV and the hotels do not so that makes the parking by far the best deal, plus you get a chance to have a nice shower and bed before your cruise! Our favorite is the Radisson at the Cape.
Another tip that is not known by many is for dumping your RV when you get to Disney World. You can do this at Fort Wilderness Campground, even if you are not staying in your RV there, as long as you are staying on the Disney property. We use the RV for transportation and stay at a resort during our Disney vacation portion. Just pull in to Fort Wilderness Campground after checking in to your resort and they will let you use their facilities. You will need a room key and photo ID.
I would love to hear if anyone else has some good tips for driving an RV to Disney! Please feel free to comment!
