Hi, everyone!
We are planning on driving to Disney in May. We will have our 6 year old and just turned 2 year old sons with us. Does anyone have any tips for driving with little ones? DS2 will just barely be 2, so I don't even know what to pack so that he will be entertained on the drive. I think older DS should be ok with his DS games and portable DVD player.
We will be driving from St. Louis to WDW. I would like to get to Gainesville before we stop for the night. (Well, ideally I would like to make it to Disney World in a day, but I just don't see that happening with the kiddos.) We will leave the house around 3am and DH and I will take turns driving.
We will be staying at the Animal Kingdom Lodge.
Thanks for any advice!
 
Does anyone with little ones prefer to do the drive overnight? Has anyone had any experience with this? DH is now considering leaving around 8pm or so.
