We will be driving to Disney in August. Last time we went we went through West Virginia well this time my DH says we are going to go 95 instead. Which way is the best route?

I would think I95 would be better (maybe not safe but quicker) as I have not drove from your area but I drive I95 from the Virginia line to the Georgia line and have taken it as far as Cocoa Fl.
Your best bet is to sit down and plan the times you will be in or going through any large cities when traffic is not congested.
I like to know where I should be on the interstate at any given time when I’m on the road.

95 is definitely a quick route. We drive from the Harrisburg area.

Where will you pick it up?

If you avoid places like the beltway during rush hours, you shouldn't have any trouble at all. Once you get past that, it's all smooth sailing.

I always enter a number of various routes into Google maps to find the best one and back up routes/detours along the way in case we hit construction, an accident or unexpected traffic. I am quite wacky about it in fact, just ask my DH...he just rolls his eyes and takes the route I've chosen LOL.

We are in CT. When we drive anywhere 'down south' we always go the route that I assume your husband is suggesting rather than down I95. If I remember correctly, we take 84 out of CT toward Newburg NY, the go down thru PA westward thru PA, then into MD, WV, VA and south. Eventually we get on 95 somewhere in SC, the go down 95 the rest of the way.

The good thing about heading that wasy is that you totally avoid the hassles of traffic in NJ, Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore, etc.
