This is supposedly the reason WDW was built. Walt, they say, once heard a report that people on a ride at DL saw I5 start to slow down so they decided to leave the park to avoid the crushing commute. Not exactly somewhere you get lost in the magic. WDW (fascinating origin story, read it sometime) was built out in the middle of nowhere where people can't see what is going on in the real world. It's the only vacation our family has been on that starts and ends at the airport if you stay on property. In 2008 I think the Dow lost 6% the week we were there and we were gloriously unaware of the fire raging elsewhere. It's all Disney coaches, busses, monorails, and boats to get between your resort and the parks.
