Re: How Exhausted are you after Driving to WDW?

We have driven straight through for our last 3 trips (approx 16-17 hours). Well, DH drives 99% of the way! Like PrincessJill said, we stop for an hour or two at a rest stop for a nap and then he is good to go again.

Depending on the time we arrive, we will usually check in and then go to Walmart to get supplies and then go eat dinner somewhere...most likely DTD. We are ALWAYS beat the first day! But like DT said, it did not affect the rest of our trip in ANY way. I think going to the parks the first day will be REALLY tiring. I'd just plan to enjoy your resort and just relax the first day.

It's an 8 hour drive to WDW from here. We usually leave at 6 or 7 am. By the time we get there, we're all pumped and ready to get out of the car and head to the parks.
