For those folks driving!

I agree with Joy4Ron. Someone on the Boards set me straight a few years back and I bless their name every time I head South.

I stay in the middle lane and just keep following 75.

Someone told me that using the HOV lane was better but I fear being all the way over there with people pushing on me from behind and fewer options to get over somewhere in case of an accident BUT I could be wrong.

Atlanta is the only part of the drive that is difficult and that is only about 10-15 minutes, on a good day. I do my best to get through before we shut down as I do not want to go through at rush hour in the morning.

Also from Indiana, we are driving in July.. I just wanted to subscribe to this, as I know it will be big help when we get to this point!

This grandma is available to hitch a ride with most anyone coming from Indiana to DW in return for one night's free babysitting.

If you pay for my room and tickets I might be available for two nights.

LOL.. you can ride with us, we have no kids, but you pay your half! lol Then maybe we could afford a better resort! lol

Half of what? Just checking. I would hate to miss an extra trip.

I am an excellent tour guide and somewhat entertaining, so I have been told. Should be worth something.

driving from ct in a few weeks...
is there any major construction going on anywhere we should know about?
leaving CT around 12am and driving to HH island. We have a 2 yr old so not sure how long it will take us.

Besides a mcdees playground are there anyothers around off i-95? weather depending of course. We have a nice Gps so I will be checking that as well for parks.

Thanks in advance and I will post any 'issues' or anything about our trip down 95 and back upon our return

Does anyone know which is the fastest route from North MS...Thanks

 

[WDWToby]

Best route from NYC? Anyone have sugesstions. Planning a road trip to Disney in March.

I also would like to know the best route from NYC area. Also, is Savannah very far off of 95? I would love to stop there and explore but not if it is too far out of the way. Usually we stop in Brunswick.

 

[VMK_Princess_Chloe]

I want to stop in Savannah just to eat at The Lady and Son's, Paula Deen from the show on food network for t hose who don't know her...she's my favorite.. and her restaurant is in Savannah. mmm.. we may go there on the way back though.. cause we plan on stopping and sleeping on the way back but not on the way there...

 

[crs7568]

The Lady and Sons is one of the main reasons I want to stop in Savannah. I want to "put a little south in my mouth"

Is it very far off of 95?

Dowtown Savannah is probably around 14 miles off I-95. We stayed off the Savannah/Pembroke exit several times. Next morning we'd get up and drive through the city and the head off to WDW. I could live in Savannah. It's spooky at night though. DH works with a guy who's parents live there. He said you have to wait in a very long line or get to The Lady and Sons really early in order to get in. I personally haven't been there though. If you do get in..please dish and let us know how it is!

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

I dream of going to Savannah. I have been to Charleston and loved it also.

Paula Deen and I share something other than loving food. We are both agoraphobic. Guess that is why I love DW so much, it is a 'safe' environment.

I definitely will! I know that it takes a long time to get in.. You have to be there 2 hours before they open to get a ticket/number to get in at a certain time when it opens.. which is fine with us. Your allowed to go off and do whatever you want till the time your suppose to be seated!

May sound stupid, but what's an agoraphobic?

We're going to be heading from upstate NY to Fort Wilderness in April, towing our pop-up. We've usually driven down I-95, but I know that last year it got very backed up in NC on Good Friday. On that day, we had taken the Rt. 81 to 77 route and gotten around it.

However, I didn't really care for that route. I don't like the fact that there were long stretches with only 2 lanes, and the number of trucks was ridiculous. I have a heftier tow vehicle now, but I would still think that the constant draft from passing trucks pushing our rig around would get old quickly.

How do most RVers, especially those with trailers, choose to travel to WDW from the northeast?

Who has the book the I-95 Exit Guide? We got that one a few years ago and that was great. It went the entire 95 route north to south. I went to their website today to order a new book for our June trip but you can only download it now. I really wish you could still get the actual book, Here is the one I'm talking about: http://www.usastar.com/i95/homepage.htm

Try the DriveI95 book... they sell it on Amazon It does forget about Florida though...

 

[hannahsmomma]

I did not even think about that...we are leaving on Good Friday for DW from VA and traveling 95! What are we thinking?!

 

[dawz1026]

Hi, Jaclyn!!! The drive down I-95 is a breeze after Frederiksburg! And you are already past that.
