So I need some ideas. What can I do to make time fly. Normally I bring a bunch of stuff to make things fun but this time the cars going to be packed.. 5 people in one car. >_< So theres going to be like no room.

Some ideas?

I want to start reading twilight. But I don't want to get car sick.

Also I know I have to bring my ipod but the battery only last so long.

So please list some ideas. <3

Thank you.

I'm still trying to remember what all to bring to disneyworld. I hope I don't forget my head. ;x hehe.
 
If you can, read twilight in shifts. Read a bit, take a break, etc. That sometimes helps me read in the car without getting carsick.
Or get twilight on cds. I always listen to audio books on long car rides and it really helps pass the time.
The ipod is a must. I have a charger that you can use in the car...you could maybe find one of those so you can listen longer.

This is all I can think of at the time.
Good luck finding things to do and have a great trip!
 
Well like softball chick posted above, also I would bring a portable game like a DS or Gameboy of some sort. Those always helpful for me. And if your like me, I get extremely carsick and dizzy from reading in the car, so audiotapes are a plus :D.
 
You could buy a cheap portable DVD player our van has one built in luckily; but Ive seen them for as low as 20 dollars which isnt bad at all.
 

I only have a 4 hour drive to Disney, and usually I bring:
Paper
Pens
Books
CD player
Pillow [to sleep,haha]


That's basically it. I usually talk to my family, text people, and sleep.

Oh yeah, I forgot about sleeping.
I usually can't sleep in a car, but if you can it will help pass the time quickly.

I feel your pain.
We usually drive for 2 days straight. (Besides 2 nights in a hotel, but we get in late and wake up nice and early.)
Usually I do just read, because I can read in the car without getting sick.
I bring paper and pencils to draw random things or write. Usually disney related.
My Zune.
My nintendo DS.
I sleep. A lot. Lol.
We usually bring a portable DVD player.
Honestly, that's about it. Lol.
It's not bad driving there because you know you're getting closer and closer to "home" as I call it.
It's horrible on the drive back, because you get so bored and sad because you're leaving.

Good luck!
 
Stay up all the night before you leave.


Then sleep the entire time.
 
If you have a laptop you can usually find something fun to do on it (play a game, make a song with garageband if it's a mac,)

If anyone in your family has an iPhone you can DIS on it (though it is really slow)

definitely bring some movies!!!:happytv:


SLEEP!!!
 
i just read the twlight series..(AWESOME!!) but i also downloaded the audiobooks from itunes, its like 30 bucks but it is soo much better than having to carry around a book. I also always bring a crossword puzzle and a sukoko*SPELLING* book with me

Thanks I agree. I drove with people 2 times before. So I'm not worried about the drive really. It's just this time I'm crammed in the car with more people so it's very odd for me. Mostly since we always drive straight minus bathroom stops.

My laptop is to big for me to lug it with me in the front while theres two people next to me. :/ They'd kill me. And sadly no one has an iphone. lol Thanks. :]
