Driving in May for the first time!! YICKS! I am expecting and will be about 25 weeks along and we will also have our 1 year old. Leaving from IN, about 1083 miles one way. First I have found varying hours on different sites. Google says 18 our GPS says 15 ½ does anyone know from first hand experience?
Also- My husband wants to leave at 8 pm and drive straight through? Opinions on this? We would arrive at 11 a.m. and get a priceline hotel in the DD area then the following day after hopefully some rest we will start our stay at Disney.
Thanks for your Help!
AmberMarieRich,
We have been driving straight through from the Fort Wayne area for the last 6 years (1098 miles). The best time we have done it in is just over 17hrs, the worst time is about 20hrs. We usually leave just after 6 pm and arrive between 1130 am and 1:30 pm. We usually stop every 2 1/2-3 hrs to stretch, eat, fuel or use a rest room. So in your calculations of when you arrive you need to figure in stops, and how long you will stop for. Good luck and feel free to ask any other questions.
