Yes, we drove 95. We drive every time and it is usually around 9 hours, stopping quickly for food and gas. That 14 hours was by far the longest. Matthew took us 11-12 hours last year because of the flooding on 95 in lower NC. I will try to upload the photos tonight.
We are in the cabin tonight. Love the feel of it and exactly like the type of cabin I would love to have in retirement on a lake. The family thinks it feels smaller than a regular 2 bdrm but I disagree. The dining area is much larger as is the kitchen. Lots of little add ons like little reading lights on the bed, the tv in the bath mirror, etc. rocking chairs on the porch, fireplace (with changing colors), etc.
We are in 8021 - right side by the parking lot for the cabins. I think I will have a good view of the electric pageant and I can't be positive but I think I see space mountain in the far skyline. So I am hoping we will see a little bit of fireworks.
