We drove straight through (about 18-20 hours) twice now. We leave about noon or so. I drive the daytime hours and my DH drives the night time hours(he works nights so he is good to go!). We usually stop for about 2 or 3 hours at a rest stop and snooze in the car, well minivan while our kids are still asleep. That is usually all it takes and then we will stop and eat and once we get close to WDW and see the signs it gets us excited! Last time we arrived at POR at 830am and of course our room was not ready so we walked around the resort a bit and then we headed over to MK and rode a couple rides, walked around got a snack and then called and our room was ready. We went back and showered and rested and then went to our ADR at O'Hana. I think we went to MK for a couple hours after, but I have to say we were BEAT and I slept good, but I think the excitement of being at Disney took over. I do have to say, I felt it driving home. I kept pulling over every 15 minutes or so because I could not keep my eyes open.
Next year when we go, I told my DH we are staying in a hotel halfway through. I was reading elsewhere that stopping in Valdosta, GA was a good place because then your about 3 1/2 hours away from Disney. So, if we leave at about 8 or 9 we'll get there refreshed and ready to hit the parks longer.
