I drove down to Florida from NY. We left at about 8:30 pm and drove through the night. Then the following morning, we stopped at a cracker barrel for breakfast (if you haven't eaten there, i highly recommend it. So this is what i do, i bring my ipod and before i leave, i fill it up with disney music, movies and tv shows. I also bring my laptop, portable dvd players and tons of dvds. Make sure you have bags of snacks and a cooler with drinks. Believe me, its going to come in handy. Also, last year we brought a bucket or paper bags, just incase. My little cousin got sick on the way there, and my brother got sick on the way back so, it did come in handy. Dont forget to bring a blanket or pillow. I usually wear pjs when i go on long trips, so im comfortable. I can usually read in the car so i bring my disney planning book and read parts of it in the car. Dont stop to go to the bathroom every hour!! Stop probably every three or four hours and make sure everyone goes when they have the chance. And if you want to save time, get food at a fast food place suck as Mc Donald's instead of sitting down and have to wait. Hope this helps and have an awesome time!
