32 of my miles are floating...does it count if I sit in the car like this: ??!!
We believe that up to 33 "floating miles" are acceptable. You just made it!
All the best.

Grand Marshall BC1836,
I am a pilot, so if I fly myself down to orlando, does that still count? I can't technically fly to WDW because the runway has been closed for many moons, since way before I was born.
Maybe I could land on World drive late at night when there is no traffic. If a car is $17 to park, an RV $18, and a semi truck is $21. How much is it to park a plane?
Man, there a ton of smilies on this site but nothing airplane and pilot related.
Door to door, with rest stops (not counting our overnight stop) we typically make the trip in about 17-18 hours. I can't really say exactly how much actual driving time it is. From our house in Cherry Hill, NJ to our rental in Kissimmee is roughly 1,025 miles depending on stops if that helps.
As for times to avoid, we don't follow that route on the weekends, only on weekdays when DC traffic is at its worst. There is traffic along parts of that route but nothing compared to DC traffic.
Yes. It is comparable.Thanks for the info. I try to leave early AM to avoid any DC problems, but this route may come in handy should an early start not be possible, or for a return trip where I'd be hitting the DC area at a bad time.
So would you say it is comparable in time when you go this way on weekdays versus 95 on weekends?
Yes. In fact, our last 5 or 6 trips were taken in August.Have you taken this route in summer months too?
We come from the Youngstown/Hubbard Ohio area and we been doing the I-79 to Rt-19 to I-77 route... Onto Rt-26 to I-95 and then I-4 to WDW...
We run it in about 17+ hours... Sometimes we stop at the Florida Welcome Center for a few hours rest... ( full on property security ) we leave home 4:30 am and prefer this time as to hit the big cities at non rush hours and especially Jacksonville and down I-4 in the early am before the traffic builds ...such a breeze at those times...
We get into WDW around 6 am... Check in, have breakfast, head to Publix for supplies and by then our room is usually ready or we swim until it is... Love having that full day ..
Yes. It is comparable.

We got back Saturday. Going down it took a little over sixteen hours. There was construction in Virginia. The ride home took 15 1/2 hours. We left at 4:30am at got home at 8pm. We took 95 both ways.
Please post the link for the new thread. My tablet doesn't want me to find it.
