Hi, we are planning our first trip this fall with our two daughters age 2 (will be turning 3 on the trip) and 6. We were planning on driving to save money. We have about a 10 hour drive. The plan was to leave after work and drive as far as we could. We planned to spend the night in a hotel on the way and then drive the rest of the way the next morning/afternoon. Would like to get there in time to go to the MK that evening for a few hours. I'm worried about how my girls will do in the car because they aren't the best travelers (fighting, whining, etc.)
I noticed Southwest was having a sale and we could fly direct to and from Orlando for a little over $800 total. Flight would arrive at 1:30 pm. That is certainly appealing. But we are "heavy packers" and my husband likes the idea of having our car even though we probably wouldn't use it all once we got there (we are staying on site). Also if we do fly, that would leave us with less spending money (might not do MNSSHP, etc.)
So for those who have done both what are your recommendations/pros/cons of each?
Thank you!
