We do the 1200 mile drive from DFW regularly. It depends on how early we leave as to where we make camp for the night. Usually at least Biloxi to Pensacola, (about halfway), but if ambitious, Tallahassee. One time we went all the way to Gainesville (5 am to 10 pm.)
I don't like using either of those airports to get out of. DFW because it's the second busiest in the country and MCO because there are too many casual travelers. Our next trip we are flying into Tampa, but out of MCO. But we almost punted and drove it due to having to layover at O'Hare on the way down. (Just too cheap to use more miles to avoid the layover). But we're doing the flying thing, with free National days to get a car. Has anyone used the car care center to return a car? Just wondered about the time involved with shuttling back to resort.
The next trip will be back to driving, (graduating senior made the decision to fly this time), but we will have to have our own transportation on the next trip for early entry to DHS.
