[donna6819]

We are driving to wdw at the end of december from windsor,on. We plan on leaving around 4am and driving until we hit atlanta. Does anyone know of a good hotel to stay at before entering atlanta? We will pulling a pop-up camper on the way down(staying at FW) We are planning on taking I-75 down. This is our first trip to WDW as a family pulling our popup. One more question, what is the best way to FW?? Thanks ahead of time to everyone who helps!!!

Hi Donna
We have left at 4am, and found Dalton was a nice stop. It is about 11 hours from you, and 1.5 hours from Atlanta. We stayed at the Coutyard by Marriott, which is just off the I75, and has a decent indoor pool and complimentary breakfast. If you get up earlier, you can be at WDW shortly after lunch.
We have also heard good things about Marrietta, which is 15 minutes from Atlanta. Check Trip advisor for hotels there. The Drury Inn and Suites is supposed to be very nice.

As for easiest route to FW...take exit 67 (Epcot Centre Drive) off I4. turn right onto Bonnet Creek Parkway (signs for Old Key West/Port Orleans). Follow Bonnet Creek until it ends, then turn left onto Vista Road. FW is about a mile away on the right.

We found all the Holiday Inn experss hotels we stayed at were new. Nice clean reasionable price. Oh yeah and all the ones we were at had contental breakfast. Check them out online.

It always seems to me that once you drop down out of the mountains of N Georgia, that Atlanta is there before you know it. So if you're planning to stop before you get there, you need to be up in the hills around Dalton. After that hotels are few and far between.
