stop talkin about me again!
We're just simple country folk 
Hi everyone,
Subbing to this thread. Husband and I are taking our blended family to Disney this September. We are a family of eight with the six kiddos ranging from 8 to 17. My three have been to Disney twice having driven once...hubby's kiddos have never been. We are driving from Central Maine which puts us at a grand total of 3040 miles round trip. When I drove last, my kiddos were 3, 7, and 9 back in 2004 and we left at midnight, making it to Kingsland, GA at midnight with just a short trip to Disney the next morning. It was ideal and the kids were great save for the last hour or so to Kingsland. I think we will do the same this year but leave before midnight as we live an hour north of where we lived the last time. I can't remember the route we took but it was mostly 95 and we didn't encounter much traffic at all. I'm looking forward to the planning as it's part of the fun for me!

Yeah, that's because you LIVE in your car all day, so you can handle everything that comes your way and not freak out
when we get together in june, youll have to ask tammy. she just sits there, holds on to her seat belt and closes her eyes. i didnt know royersford was the country.:lmao
But, we weren't delayed more than 10 minutes. We took the bypass another time when we were coming back from Daytona, again when it was rush hour in the pm. Hated stopping every few miles to pay a toll. 
Are we CRAZY to drive 23 hours each way/2700 miles
Hi there!
Heading down to WDW in August; just mom and me! We will be driving down to Disney in order to "try" and save some money, with the prices of flights right now, this seems to be the way to go for us - Hyundai Accent = pretty good gas mileage.
Plan as of right now is:
Leave around noon on a Friday and make our way to D.C. (overnight there, and tour D.C. Saturday).
Saturday afternoon leave D.C. and drive until we are tired (overnight somewhere, hopefully South Carolina/Georgia area).
Sunday morning leave and make our way to POP Century.
Question is, are there any routes to avoid? Times to avoid said routes? Tips for driving and staying busy during the drive. Mom and I are 55 and 22 respectively. So kiddie ideas may work for me, only about an hour, haha
I would really appreciate any advice anyone can give me about this drive, NH to POP Century and back!!!
Let's see...1,073 (original drive mileage + distance from Holiday Inn Express to Grand Floridian) mile ride complete. Time for a ride on the monorail!
All the best.
Correction: A launch to the MK via the Poly.
Monorail tonight for dinner at the Cal. Grill.
Ah.....
All the best.
post some pics!

sharon, ok, what day are you leaving, arriving and what days are you at the contemp? (pm me if you want
Wait until you all experience the new Haunted Mansion with its entertaining entrance features AND the brand-new hitchhiking ghost endings! It will be well worth the first half of a 2,000+ mile round trip!
All the best.
your gonna love there. we stayed may of 09 just tammy and i. we were on the 11th floor,high as you can go in a reg. room. i set the camcorder on the balcony and just made 2, 30 min. tapes of the mk. i love just laying across the bed,looking out the window at the mk, the boats, the traffic going in and out. ill mail a copy to you if your intrested. no talking on them or nothing great, just the views!
we leave 3-3:30am and i try to go to sleep around 8pm the night before and it never works. i get about 4 hours of sleep from 8pm to 3am. not sure were your from but in most areas at 5pm on a friday, your gonna sit in traffic anyway and you wont have to pay for a hotel.
dont forget you dont get patted down when you drive and you know whos sitting next to you. $1253 even seems cheap from some of the prices ive been hearing. i told the story earlier about friends of ours this past december. they flew down and back instead of following us because its" faster". on there trip home, with changing flights, lay overs and delays they had, it took them just as long to fly as it did us to drive. but it only take 2 hours to fly there.
maybe he will be able to sleep, i know i would be laying there looking at the ceiling but maybe he can sleep. good luck and have a safe trip.
