3. DECIDE HOW YOU'RE GONNA GET THERE
If we all had a little pixie dust and a happy thought, this might be easier. Alas if you try to pay for a plane ticket with pixie dust, you'll probably get dragged off to the booby hatch-you need to get to Disney World using more practical methods: fly, take the train, take a bus, or drive there yourself. Even if you're set on driving because it's the cheapest (especially if you don't have to rent a car), you should at least check out other possibilities, as they may be cheaper than you think.
Fly
Bus or train

Fly
Plane travel is the most painless way to get to Disney World, especially if you live particularly far away. Most airlines offer a flight to Orlando, so you shouldn't have trouble finding one. For more details about getting good ticket deals, check out SYW find cheap airline tickets?
Bus or train
Greyhound provides frequent service to Kissimmee (very close to Disney World); you can call 800-231-2222 for more information. Bus travel can be slow and torturous, so remember that the greater the distance the bus must travel, the more likely you can get a comparable airplane ticket price. If you're on the east coast, Amtrak trains go to Orlando daily from New York City and cost around $150-$350 for a round-trip ticket. The train makes stops in major cities along the way, including Philadelphia, Washington DC, several cities in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.
Car
If you do end up trekking to Disney World by car, try to arrange it so you drive about 350 miles a day-you'll get fairly far each day, but won't be so weary that you'll be too tired walk around the parks. For specific driving directions (such as what exit to get off, etc.), click here.
