Driving to DW from DC

[Big Matt]

I'm driving from DC to Orlando in April and want to break up the trip about 2/3 of the way and spend the night. Does anyone have any recommended places to stay along the way? I have a free night at any Marriott, but am willing to stay at other brands.

Thanks.

We always stop at the Hampton Inn, in Brunswick Ga. Neat, clean, safe, easy access to I95, walking distance to 2 restaurants.
My guess is that Marriott may have something in the Brunswick area--lots and lots of motels in that area.
Drive time to WDW from Brunswick is 4-4 1/2 hours, depending. We usually leave at 6:00 am or thereabouts and are checking in at OKW around 10:30.

When we made our drive down (and believe me, we WON'T do that again if we can help it) we drove all the way to Ormond Beach. It was a full days driving, but then we just stayed at a Comfort Inn on the beach (REALLY nice to wake up the sound of the ocean) and only had a short drive the following morning.

On our last drive down to WDW (in Dec), we stayed just outside of Savannah at a place calledCountry Inn & Suites By Carlson Savannah I-95 North
(Port Wentworth, GA) The property was just off of I95 and was fairly new. Rooms were clean and comfortable.

This stop was approx 565 miles south and took about 9 hours from the Springfield area.

We like to drive to WDW from home . We frequently make it to GA & stay at the Hampton Inn in Richmond Hills or Darian. Both are clean, safe & have friendly staff. There is a continental breakfast in the moring beginning at six.

VA Drivers-

We are attempting to make our 1st drive to WDW with 2 small kids (5,3)from northern VA. We are not big car travelers and wonder if we should even attempt it.

How many days driving will it take? Where do you stop?

It just costs so much to fly with 4 people, we're not sure if we can swing that along with the WDW trip!!
