Which route would take to Florida if you were driving?We are leaving for Florida in two weeks to go to Disney and we are driving. Last time we went we took 95 but i have been told there are other routes you can take. I think one is 81?  Mommyof2  Mar '10 do you have a tom tom you can keep hitting lat route til you find a route you like  shoebie Mar '10 You would get on I-81 in PA,pick up 17 in Winchester VA. This brings you to I-95 just above Fredericksburg,VA then take that down to Disney. 81 is def a nicer road then 95  Nosila Mar '10 If you're trying to get there fast I'd leave at like 8PM for I-95 and keep going until you get past at least Washington DC. From there it should be a pretty smooth sail into Florida. Mommyof2 - Driving to Disney with 3 kids under2? Good luck, I wouldn't want to be you ;-)  Calico696 Mar '10 The only route I would take is the one to Newark or Allentown Airport, Thats a long ride with 3 babies  Just Asking Mar '10 wow, I can't believe you are doing this with 3 under 2! We drove 9 hours to North Carolina a couple times when the boys were 6 months and again wne they were 9 months. It was very hard the first time so we had to stay overnight the second time to break up the trip.  Lisa Mar '10 LOL Just Asking - I think Flying with three babies all under 18 months would be worse! I don't want to torture others on a plane! Honestly my kids just sleep in the car so it isn't bad! We drove to disney last year with the twins too! Mommyof2 Mar '10 Mommy,  BrownEyesGuy Mar '10 Mommyof2- I always end up driving more than my hubby too. It's easier then hearing him complain the whole time. Not because of driving but because of all the other drivers lol. 81 is sooooo pretty. I will be taking 81 to Roanoke tomorrow morning. Nosila Mar '10 I agree flying would be much worse. I wouldn't want to do that to other people either.  Bryan Mar '10 78W to 81 S to 83 S. That will take you to Baltimore. It should take 3.5 hours to get there. Then take 95 south the rest of the way. You want to time it right so that you don't hit Baltimore during rush hours as the 95 link between Baltimore and DC is no fun at those times.  sackMar '10 Mommyof2 and Bryan,  Tracy Mar '10 just wondering...why would you want to go to Disney World with such young children? that they will understand none of it? NOT bashing you at all, just curious.  vicnity Mar '10 Lisa - we do pretty much drive straigh through only stopping for gas and food. Oh and poopie diapers LOL! How we do it is my mom or sister will watch the kids the day before and not let them nap LOL....than i try to sleep for a few hours so i can drive for a long period than my husband takes over (he sleeps while i drive). We also have those build in DVD players in our van so as long as we have Yo Gabba Gabba, Cars, and Finding Nemo the twins will be happy when they are awake. Who ever isn't driving sits in the back with the kids so if they need snack it is taken care of! Mommyof2 Mar '10 Plus with the cost of flying then on top of it all the baggage and then the baggage fees. Then you would also need to carry three car seats into the airport. Have fun changing diapers in an plane bathroom. I would drive too Nosila Mar '10 Vicinity-Yes, they will not remember, but the parents will! The parents will have precious memories and when the kids are older they can share the pictures with them. I brought my 2 1/2 year old and the memories I have of him dancing with mickey mouse are priceless, well worth it!  Minnie Mouse Mar '10 Stop at South of the Border half way. We always did when I was a kid, and oddly enough that tourist trap was kind of my favorite part of the trip, lol!!  Sandy Mar '10 We always do ended up stopping at South of Border! Dh is like a big kid there LOL! Mommyof2 Mar '10 Mommy, thanks so much for your reply. Have a wonderful and safe trip with your family. vicnity Mar '10 LOL Lori.....it isn't really a vacation with little kids it is just get out NJ! LOL! DH and i were just saying....when will be able to just get up and go away with out so much junk with us! My answer was in about 20 years LOL Mommyof2 Mar '10 You can take 78 to 81 and pick up 77 in Virginia, to 26 in South Carolina to 95 the rest of the way down. nutmegMar '10 I agree with some of the other posters. The last time we drove to Florida, we took 81/77/26 to 95. It was a very nice ride and we made great time. critics will say it is out of the way, however you bypass all of the heavy traffic areas on 95. It's great coming onto 95 in SC...We usually leave around 3 or 4 AM to beat some of the traffic between here and Harrisburg in the AM. We drove through to a Daytona hotel and drove out onto the beach in the AM before heading to Disney. We could have driven through to Orlando if we had to. 81 is a pleasant drive compared to 95. We always have horrible luck on 95 so we avoid it whenever possible north of Richmond! Good Luck and have a wonderful vacation! JSBMar '10
