This, exactly for us as well! :) We're just about an hour or two further south!

I have always driven as an adult travelling to WDW. Prefer the freedom. Plus the journey is as important as the destination. Took the train once 25 years ago with my mom from ny. That was a blast. I simply prefer driving. Both DDs are stellar road trippers. DD9 has been road tripping since she was 6 weeks old.
The journey from home now is 9hrs with traffic and construction. Both DGF and I work shift work so we scheduled around the trip. I only ad to take two days off for a six day trip and she only had to take one day off. It worked out.
The key to long drives is to schedule breaks for the posterior and to loosen up the joints....SIX DAYS!!!!!!!:thumbsup:
DH and I are both enthusiastic long distance drivers. What we instituted long ago is splitting the drive up. Two hours. Wherever we are, we change drivers every two hours.
We leave early afternoon Friday and drive till about 10 pm, leave early (excitement!) and generally get in late on Saturday night.
Driving for the first time in a loooong time. I was just wondering how much the tolls were on the Turnpike now so we can be prepared.:number1:
