Step 1, determine what time of day you want to arrive.
Step 2 determine how long it takes to drive straight through
step 3, subtract step 2 from step 1.
i refuse to rent a hotel for 6-8 hours to sleep. the kids (6 and 12) can sleep in the acr, so does the wife.
it takes us about 16 hours, or 1,008 miles.
so we leave at 5:00pm. I let the wife drive as long as she can. 3 hours maybe. Then I fill up the car, the kids get in PJ's. and i drive all night.
we stop in ocala around 8:00am for break fast. then the wife takes the last 3 hours to disney. we usually hit the world around 10:00am.

we do the same thing when we go home.

so many benifits to driving all nights.
- kids and wife sleep while dad listens to old beastie boyz songs from the 80's
- mom is sleeping so she cant get a ticket for speeding
- traffic is very very light so dad doesnt have to honk at as many people for driving 55 in the left lane.
- saving money on a hotel room
