...by the person who drove to WDW from New England. It was a very detailed post, outlining departure time and time of arrival at various milestones along the way. I can't seem to find the thread with that post. Can the original poster point me to it?

Thanks! :thumbsup2
 
Bumping for you - I'd like to read it too. Have you checked in the "for those folks driving" sticky thread at the top of the page?
 
Is this the post you are looking for?

The traffic was a mess from Hartford through Delaware on the way down.

Me and my wife alternated turns driving our Nissan Xterra when we stopped for gas. My 3 year old held out a lot better than I thought she would on the way down and on the way back to Boston.
We're planning on doing it again, April 1st-9th and hope to stay at BWV.
