A question for my friends who live and travel in the area...
Doing some early planning for the summer trip to WDW. Our first stopover will be north of Nashville, and our second night will be spent in Valdosta. My question is the route for that second leg of the trip. If I go through Atlanta, it will likely put me in the city between 2 and 3pm on a Friday. Any delays earlier in the day would make it that much later. Going the long way, through Birmingham and Montgomery, seems to add about 50 miles and a good 60-80 minutes of drive time. I've done Atlanta multiple times before, and it is not a huge deal, but the timing concerns me, so I'm considering taking the 'scenic' route.
Thoughts? Is the route from Montgomery worth the longer drive time? If so, why?
Thanks!
