We've been driving route 95 the past 7 trips to WDW and this year we will be going during a very busy time (Easter Break). We are leaving northern NJ Saturday morning at 6-6:30am.
We've had a couple of bad Baltimore/DC experiences and I don't want to get caught up in a huge amount of easter traffic.
So my questions:
1. Is my thinking right, this weekend is going to be very busy?
Have been told by many to try route 81 to get around Baltimore & DC. Using google directions it offers me the following route to get to Florence, SC which is where we always stay the first night. I would very much appreciate your comments and suggestions as well as any alternatives I should consider. Of course this only applies to me, everyone else has to stay on Rt 95. OK, ok, just a few DIS'rs can come along
