Florida Keys to Orlando and back?
We made a huge error and booked our vacation to the Florida Keys with plans to go to Orlando-Disney World.
Plane paid for to get to Florida Keys, Disney hotel and tickets purchased.
We did not take into consideration the trip to Disney (and back) from the Florida Keys.
We are looking at the easiest least expensive travel option to remedy our dilemma. We are both older so the drive itself worries us.
Help!

You don't give dates so flight prices can be very variable. The drive from Key West to Disney would be long. Maybe look at flying. Try www.silverairways.com
America, Delta, and US Airways also fly out of Key West.

The options are fly or drive.I like the drive especially if you have the time and can incorporate somewhere like the Everglades or a beach into the journey.
But it's a day each way.

If you are worried about the drive, you might look at taking a bus. I don't know if there are bus routes to take you directly between the Keys and Orlando, but you should be able to get from the Keys to Miami and then on to Orlando. One option might be The Florida Express Bus. From their website it looks like they have buses to/from Miami from both the Keys and Orlando. So you might be able to get the whole trip with one bus company.

This may or may not work for your situation but I've flown Spirit from MCO to FLL and then driven down to the keys for two days in the middle of a Orlando family vacation. If you're willing to fly mid week or Saturday you can often get flights for under $20 each way on Spirit if you buy them at the airport. I don't particularly enjoy flying Spirit but I do enjoy it more than driving for 4-5 hours.
