... the next day?

We plan on leaving early Friday morning from around DC, and would like to have lunch at BOG on Saturday, upon arrival. We're staying offsite, and we'll be driving straight to MK with tickets in hand.

Is this possible? If so, where should we stop Friday night?

Yes, it is possible. Without traffic, DC to WDW is 12.5 hours. I would suggest leaving DC either really early (before 7:00 AM) or wait until after rush hour (after 9:00 AM) to avoid DC traffic. Since you will be leaving DC on a Friday, traffic should be better than other weekdays, however you should never underestimate DC traffic (just named the worst traffic in the country).

We do not drive to WDW, so I can't help you with specifics, but if it were me, I would probably look to stop somewhere around Savannah. That would be a little more than 2/3 of the way. Then, wake up early on Saturday and drive the remaining 4 hours.
 
I would personally drive straight through in one day. We used to do it frequently from Pittsburgh (16 hours with the trailer). 12-14 hours is doable with stops for lunch and dinner. Leave at 7AM, get to your hotel by 9PM.
