East Coast Drivers

OK - My wife SWORE she would never drive to WDW again. Ever.

We are headed to Disney during the spring break week in March. We checked out the SWA airfare. And they are the "cheapest". AutoTrain family bedrooms are booked - and the train isn't exactly cheap now either. So now we are pondering the drive. We are checking in on a Sunday and departing the next Saturday.

We are coming from the Philly area. I have never made it to Disney as a kid (probably resulting in my Disney fascination now!), so I've never made the drive.

So how do YOU do it? Mapquest puts it at about a 16.5 hour drive, assuming we don't stop for gas, food, potty breaks, and the such.

Do you drive straight through? Do you leave during the night?

Do you stop overnight? Where?

Love to hear some tips...
