My kids love a "road trip"! We are about 10 1/2 hours away (N.C.) and will be driving again this Thanksgiving. We'll leave very early on Sat. morning and drive to Savannah, Ga.. We've got a room in the historic district and will be able to park and walk all day, see the sites, take a tour and have a nice meal on the waterfront. Then we'll leave early Sun. morning and be at WDW by lunchtime. The kids think this is a great start to our vacation and I enjoy it, too. We once drove 17 1/2 hours to visit family in Canada and drove straight through going home, too. Didn't have any problems. Just depends on what your family likes to do. I have friends that will pay a fortune to fly to avoid a 2 hr. drive.
