Drive from Boston

[casey7613]

Can anyone tell me the best route for driving to wdw from Boston?

Catch I-90 to I-84 to I-81 all the way down to I-77 to I-26 to I-95 to I-4. We did this route 3 weeks ago and it was great compared to I-95 all the way. It had lots of signs, rest areas, and stops right off these routes for food and lodging. The traffic was minimal by comparison and virtually no big cities to contend with. We drove this route 22hrs straight from Hilton Head (after WDW of course) to Maine and it was great. We did I-95 all the way on 9/12 last year and it was the absolute worst 25 1/2 hours ever spent in a vehicle.

I would agree with this route. My mother grew up in Milford, Massachusetts and this is the way we always went from our home in Georgia. There is less traffic/congestion than going through the Hartford/New York/Philadelphia/Blatimore/Wahington D. C. metroplex. As far as getting to WDW, this is the fastest way.

This sounds great! My family is also considering driving down to WDW in August (actually have plane tix already, but having panic attacks). My question for you: which exit to I-81 off I84? My directions from mapquest recommend I-84 - I95...what a mess. I'd appreciate any suggestions,

Thanks,
Beth

msdis, Could you please tell me the exit #'s for this route it definately sounds better than straight 95. Thank You!

I-84 is exit 10 off the Mass Pike (I-90). I-84 just becomes I-81 at some point after Conn and before PA.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the exit info...does anyone recommend a particular mapping service online, or perhaps know of something that will let us plan toll costs?

Thanks again, in advance!

Believe it or not I did not want to drive or fly and for fear of which ever I did I would not want to repeat for the trip back we ended up flying down and driving back. Problem solved
I dug out my directions and forgive my ignorance but I know not if north bound exits are the same as south bound exits. I think they are Anyways what I have is exit 11A from 495(NH and ME) to I-90 (MA) then it just said to go about 28 miles to I-84 "Wilbur Cross Hwy" ; then I-84 till exit 187 onto I-81; then exit 32 onto I-77; then exit 116 onto I-26 ; then exit 86B onto I-95; then to I-4 exit 86B; then Sr-535 to exit 27

Beth- the only toll we had was for $1.00 for a bridge in NY (minor bridge) and the rest was NH, ME, and FL.

You need to be a little creative to get the route I have posted and cut off the beginning and end of each section. What I used to get where I wanted to go was "home" to Scranton, Pa. *** Scranton, Pa to Staunton, Va *** Staunton, Va. to Columbia, SC *** Columbia, SC to Kissimmee, Fl. (or exact address if you have it)

msdis: Thanks very much! Those directions sound great, and I'm going to check out the link you posted.

No matter how we get there, we will be going to Disney this year...can't wait.

Thanks again,

Beth
