Amtrak Auto Train to DCS 2012

[Bitsyncmaster]

I'm back considering the auto train. Mostly to save 2 to 4 days of driving. With my wife in the car, I don't think we would go more than 6 or 7 hours for a day of driving. Besides it may be fun just wining and dining for a day.

The station is only 5 minutes from my house. In the opposite direction are the highways(Both I-4 and 417-toll road), also about 5 minutes from the station.

Thanks.

That email address did not work for me. Yes I changed the "[at]" and the [dot].

I'm most interested in this option. Currently I was planning on car pooling down with "dmc6960" he's generously offered to go many miles out of his way to pic me up in VA and drive down. But the more I think about it the more I'd really like to have my own car. I think this just may be the ticket.. Feel free to PM me if you wish to coordinate. I've still not locked anything down yet.

And right there you've hit the reason why I did not go to DCS '08. (June '08 was when I discovered my coolant into oil leak, prompting the engine rebuild in '09). No problem if you take the Auto Train and I'll see you in Orlando! Otherwise I'll see you at your place 2 days prior.

Does anyone know if there was enough interest to get the 20% discount?

Ive just finished doing a mock round-trip purchase through Amtrak. All said and done it was a little over 500. Hmmm.... Possible group discount you say?

[Bitsyncmaster]

I'm pretty sure I'm going to do the auto train. Run the numbers for gas, tolls, 2 nights of logeing and the price looks less for the train. Now save a few more days of time off from work and it saves money.

Yup, I'm thinking the train. I think I'll be taking the June 13th one and comming back on the 18th. These everyone else's dates too?

My trip out will be the day before DCS opens since you leave at 4:00 pm and arrive at 9 -10 am. But my trip back will be two days later then the end because I've booked a few extra days to enjoy the area.
