What time are you leaving? This could be a huge factor in avoiding the congestion. We left at 7:30pm going down and 5am coming home.
We departed the Jersey Shore on Sunday, Dec. 9, 2007 at 5:05 a.m. We crossed the Potomac into Virginia at 8:42 a.m. and made Florida by 6:54 p.m. We went a bit further and stayed overnight in Palm Coast, FL after an uneventful 990-mile drive. Had it been in the spring with the sun up for a couple of more hours we would have driven straight through to WDW. In fact, we're going to start a half-hour earlier in the spring and give it a try!
We left WDW yesterday (Sunday, Dec. 16, 2007 at 8:58 a.m. and made to Emporia, VA at 8:32. Departed VA this morning at 9:15 a.m. and made it home by 3:54 p.m.
So, we did over 6,000 miles during three 2007 round trip drives to WDW and home! Yet, I'm ready for the next one in 2008!
