If you live over 6-8 hours away and can afford flying, I'd go for flying. To me it just seems easier despite the price, to catch a flight and be where you need to in a few hours.
We hired a tour bus to take us to Atlanta one year and have not done it since. One of the big “+’s” to taking a bus is that you can drive though the night and get their in the morning. But remember, buses are sometimes hard to sleep on (read as "ALWAYS HARD TO SLEEP ON" for me) especially when crammed full of people. Even with the mandatory quiet hours on the way down, I ended up not being comfortable enough to be able to sleep, so I listened to music and watched my DVD player the whole way down. On the way back my feet were killing me from queuing and I was exhausted. I managed some sleep here and there, but really only succeeded in being cranky and tired.

Things Not To Forget- Sturdy Shoes
- Daypack/Tote Bag (Even if you don't take anything to the event with you in the morning except a camera, chances are you will come back with something)
- Camera (w/good batteries)
- Something unique to trade (I'm planning to make my own little something to trade this year, seperate from the team.)
- Tokens for MARTA (Or Exact Change to purchase fare)
- Sharpie (For those times you meet someone whom you would like an autograph from. Like Dean or Woody.)
- Safe place to carry your money and keys. (Aside from your shoe or sock please!)
Ask Bob about what happened to his Van key when we were at EPCOT.
And I've seen too many loose the money they put in their shoes; and hey, Change is great! but not so much fun when you are walking on it. Along with the fact that having imprints of dead presidents in your feet and giving someone warm sweaty foot money is kind of nasty.
