| Anyone (on the EAST coast) driven to Disney World? To those who live on the EAST coast... Where about did you start? How often did you stop? How did you go about finding a hotel? We are thinking about doing this in the near future so we can take the dogs (and maybe the cat since she LOVES the car/traveling ). I am normally SO opposed to driving (with just two or three people it isn't any cheaper when you consider gas, hotels, food, and TIME) but with 4 people and animals it'll probably be the best.

| We are only about 6 hours from Disney so we stopped only once or twice, and never had any need for a hotel til we got there.

| I drove from Philly non-stop to Orlando with one other person. It took us about 13.5 hours to get there.

| we drove a few years ago. I was just a passenger but for us it was brutal! I don't remember how long it took but I would imagine if people are taking turns driving it wouldn't be too bad.

| We drove the first time we went to disney world which was about 16 yrs ago and it took 16 hrs. My Husband said the speed limits have all changed now and we could probably make it in 15 hrs. I would love to drive again someday. I love seeing the changing of each state. We are always trying to get in as many days as we can there so thats why we fly. I sure would love to take Chachi and Jewels to Florida. When you drive stop in the visitor center in Florida and they give you orange juice

| We used to drive a couple of times a year from Toronto to our condo in Florida, which is a couple hours from Orlando (we fly now, the drive was getting to be too boring lol). We'd take the I-75 all the way from Michigan through Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia and then it stops at the Florida border. It took about 2 days, and we usually stopped in Chattanooga, TN after the first day. I don't know if thats a practical route for you to take, but its super easy, and theres even a book called "Along the I-75" that has every single exit on the interstate and what restaurants, hotels, gas stations etc. are at each one. Hope you have a great trip!

| Thanks! I'm just debating if it's worth the drive! I like hoping on a plane and being there in two hours!

If we do, we'll stay at a house off-property which I'm a little hesitant. I LOVE Disney hotels. I wish they had a pet-friendly hotel or at least a floor at one of the hotels. Wouldn't that be amazing?

We would take I-95 the majority of the way.

| we drive from south jersey to orlando. i walk him at all the gas station stops and we stop at a hotel. i usually sneak him in ...i've found the pet friendly places along i-95 are pretty gross. we have to stop to give him a break.

My mom lives in VA so we were thinking of stopping at her house and then continuing the rest of the way- for 12 hours (stopping for breaks every few hours. Not to bad!
