I drove from Tallahassee to Orlando, and it was clear for us. I had an awesome time!!! I was there for the Soap Weekend, meeting a friend from SC, and had a blast (it was my first time going). I didn't expect to see the Osbourne lights, but Sunday night they turned them on! We were thrilled!! We hopped over to MK and much to our delight, the castle lights were on. It looked breathtaking!! We could not stop taking pics. Will try and post some tonight. It was just beautiful. Heard a CM said it was a test run on Sunday night. I hope they always light it up, it is an amazing sight to see.

Just relocated to Florida a couple of weeks ago and THIS is a bad, BAD stretch of construction. We went through about 8pm on a Friday and the traffic wasn't too bad... but for nearly 20 miles the speed limit is just 55 and I imagine that it gets very very backed up during the day.

There was minor construction in other areas in Georgia but nothing major. Florida was smooth sailing to the Turnpike.

Hope that helps!
