We used to fly and made use of the Disney express but since covid and the ending of the Disney express we have been driving. We are about 15-20 miles north of the Philadelphia area and the first few times we stopped overnight in Savannah. Do yourself a favor and don't stay at the cheapest place even if just overnite. We made that mistake and the hotel area was dark, sketchy and the room was filthy. Right across the street was a holiday inn, if i was staying more than just overnight I would have moved. We now just drive straight down and we make use of the express lanes. In my opinion it is worth the extra tolls. This year was are going in June and on the way home we are spending 2 nights at DVC HHI.
