Good stops for kids on 95 from NJ??

[SnoWhiteRabbit]

I'm looking for any good stops to make with little ones. I want my three kiddos to run around and stretch a bit whenever we stop on our way to WDW from northern NJ. Does anyone have any favvorite stops or recommendations -- I'm thinking Mc Donals' with play palces, maybe an IKEA type of place because they have places to play too sometimes, etc. I don't want to go *too* far from the exits, but I do want to break it up for the kids.

Thanks for any suggestions!

It looks like McDonalds has a trip planner on their website where they list their restaurants and ones with play places. You might give that a shot. http://www.vicinity.com/mcdonalds/startprx.hm?FAM=mcdonalds&SEC=starttripplan&OAD2=&OAD3=

Chick-fil-a also has a trip planner that does show restaurants, but not play places. http://www.chickfila.com/cgi-bin/mqtripplus.exe

Ikea has the Potomac Mills, VA location.

We have a guide to I95, which is helpful. I don't remember the exact name but can look it up if you are interested.

There is also this site that has a lot of information about traveling on I-95. http://www.usastar.com/i95/homepage.htm

Me, my wife and 3 year old daughter drove down to WDW from Boston last March and I learned the best way to go is, tank of gas to tank of gas. I originally planned on stopping for long breaks, meals and rest periods, but I learned along the way that the time and ride pass really fast and is easiest if you stop for gas, fill the tank, use the bathroom switch drivers and be on your way to the next stop. The turnpike malls/rest areas are great and after Washington D.C. there are signs along Rte 95 at the exits for food, gas and lodging.
We left Downtown Boston, Friday at 1 P.M., stopped 5 times on the way down and were walking around Downtown Disney, Saturday at 12 noon.
