Google Maps from Disneyland to Disney World says it's about 2,500 miles. For me, with a 9 year old and a 1 year old, 400 miles per day is my max. I greatly prefer 300-350 mile days (ok, I lie- these few days of 150-185 miles per day were pretty awesome, but we weren't going far!).
At 400 miles per day, I'd likely be looking at 10 hours of driving per day after stops. We stop often and lose a half hour the moment I pull off of the road if anyone's awake.
So, for me to make that drive at a preferred pace would be 6 days of driving.
That said, we went from Maryland to Disney World (925) in a straight 20-hour shot of driving. We were knackered when we got there, but we got it done. Depending on how many drivers you had (we only used 2, but had the option of 4 drivers), you could cut down on the time. Might not be terribly enjoyable at that.
IMO, this is a 3-week trip, at a minimum. Almost a week to get there, a week and a little to play at WDW and then a week to get home.
