We are driving down as well because my hubby is scared of flying (he's never been on a plane) BUT, the upside to driving, is that it's easier to add more time onto your trip if you can!
We were originally just going to do the 7 nights at Disney, and then we kept adding over the last few months, and now we're doing 2 nights at Myrtle beach, 2 nights in Savannah, 1 night in orlando to go to Universal, then 2 nights at the Dolphin and going to MNSSHP, and then FINALLY we'll be at POFQ for 7 nights! LOL
The other good thing about driving is that you're able to pack so much more stuff!
It's always good to look for the positives

In our house it is opposite. It is one thing I'm happy about having kids, so I can have a few drinks. I am afraid of flying, but my husband prefers it, mostly because he ends up with the late shift of the drive, therefore leaving mil and myself nice and ready and him ready for sleep.

Hubby does all the driving. He would drive straight through. I'm the one that get cranky

sounds like a nice plan. We have DVC points to use or lose. Hubby likes he can pack all his snacks & sodas.

Hubby refuses to fly. We will stay over one night. I'm the one that gets cranky. The ride down isn't bad. I hate the drive back home.

H ha, the drive back is the pits, takes twice as long!

Got my second round of Mickey Mail yesterday with updated ME and voucher dates. No new luggage tags so still stuck with only two checked bags total. Hopefully I can fit 11+ days worth of clothes in one luggage I was hoping to bring 1.5 outfits per day in case of rain, sweatiness or a very tragic case of a fallen Mickey bar. I might need to bring a carry on stuffed with clothes!!

I'm excited that I only have 13 days left!! Hanging out with my family who is going on a nine day Carnival cruise tomorrow - which means Disney is right around the corner!!!

Since there are 4 of us and we have to fly, it's hard to go more often, but I sat down and kinda loosly planned when we would be going until 2015....

I think you can call and ask for additional tags. I've never done it, but I thought read here that you can!

Finally got all of my ADR's figured out. Added my DD's BF less than 30 days ago and ended up scoring all of the ADR reservations I've had booked since 180days minus Sci Fi Dine in. I was really lucky. Here's what we're doing with our party of 8:

9/19 Crystal Palace (CM helped me add a +1 on the phone for this one.)
9/20 Biergarden (which I would love to replace with Sci Fi)
9/21 Coral Reef (Kids will like...I'm not sure if it is my first choice...)
9/22 'Ohanas (Oh, YEA! at 8:50...maybe we can see wishes from our table!)
9/23 1900 Park Fare (took me 2 weeks of searching to get this! Just booked tonight for all 8 of us!)



Had to re-do my reservations page and tape it in my book (I made a 20 page PDF planner for everyone that's going on this little excursion.) because the thing was so mucked up that I couldn't read it!

Got the +1's Mickey Mail yesterday...good thing he is carrying on...because I didn't get a ME luggage tag for him.

OH, my!...we are getting close to the fun now!

Tomorrow will be 4 weeks to go!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got the rest of my Mickey Mail today!!!! I am beyond excited!!!
