Boston to Disney

[Wagamama]

I'm just wondering how long it would take (approximatly) to drive from Boston to Disney. Also, where do people usually stop to sleep, rest, and any interesting (for kids OR adults) stops on the way? Thanks!!!

It is approximately 24 driving hours from Boston to Disney.

Assuming you'll take I-95, the AAA guidebooks have advertisements showing Lumberton NC as a "1/2 way"point between NYC and WDW. So from Boston the 1/2 way point would be somewhat farther north.
For us, we leave S. Pa. at 4:00 AM and drive down to Brunswick Ga.--getting there about 5:00 PM. So a 12-13 hour drive day is easily do-able, with rest stops along the way. That puts us at almost 3/4 of the way to WDW, leaving a much shorter ride the second day.
We will often stop in St Augustine Florida on the way to WDW-nice historic spot with some good sites. I drink from the Fountain of Youth often and just look at my signature picture--I'm actually 187 years old.

I've driven to Disney twice this year. What works for me is stopping at Florence, SC. I spend the night, and start out early the next day, and it's an 8 hour or less drive to Disney. The last two times I drove down, I left at 6 am from Lowell, and arrived at SC at 10 p.m. Next morning, I started out at 7a.m. and arrived at Disney at 2:30. There is also an alternate route that bypasses Hartford, NYC, Washington, and Richmond, the big traffic tie-ups. It's Mass Pike to 84 S to 81 S to 77 S to 26 to 95. route 26 crosses over to 95 in Georgia. On this route, you're only on 95 a short while before Route 4 to Disney. By the way, all the exit numbers on Route 4 have been renumbered, the old exit numbers are in small print on the signs. Have a fun trip.
