How many hours do you think it will take? The GPS says about 17. DH drove straight through to Daytona in 16 hours years ago with several drivers.

Also, anywhere we should stop for a break that will be interesting???
Well I am not sure from where you are coming from. We drive from NYC area and it takes us about 16 hours...with breaks! GPS says it will take almost 18 hours. But DH drives about 11 mph over the speed limit (not sure why 11mph ), so we get there rather quickly. We now really like driving. We save A LOT of money and we get to take as much luggage as we want. Plus, we have our car there and we don't have to rent a car or depend on Disney Transportation.

I think you will do GREAT especially since you have 3 drivers. DH is the only one who drives and it still works out great for us.

GOOD LUCK!
