We just got back from our first road trip to Disney! It was just the girls and me because DH had to work. We left CT around 9 on a Wed morning, stopped in MD 6 hours later to stay with friends. We left there before 7 am trying to beat DC traffic but got slowed up a little bit.
We drove 11 hours to Savannah and stayed overnight in a Marriott Suites (can't remember the real name- it's on the list from the other thread) and got back on the road around 9. We drove the last 4 hours to Disney and had a great two weeks
We left on Friday 7/9 around 10 am (had to go to Downtown Disney first ) and drove to Myrtle Beach to stay in a friend of a friend's condo. We played in the waves for a few hours the next morning and then hit the road again. We drove about 8 hours to Delaware (almost NJ, right before the Del Mem bridge) and stayed in a Holiday Inn Express. We left around 10 in the morning and made it home by 2:30-3.
Overall it was a great trip and I'd do it again if airfare was high and we had the extra time. I too play the beat the GPS game I also find a "runner" or pace car and follow at a distance. I didn't know about the cameras in SC so hopefully I don't get a ticket in the mail
Thanks everyone for the advice and tips!!
