    I love to drive too! It is harder with kids, but can be so much fun! 10 hours to Disney is so worth it.

    Thanks Coleen!

    Gotta love Cracker Barrel! We’ve made the drive a few times and had a blast. Our last trip by car to WDW was my mom, myself, and my then 12yo daughter. We took a break for some outlet shopping too!

    This takes me back to the road trips my parents used to take me on as a kid! Fun times! Great tips Coleen!

    We do this drive at least once a year and starting the trip at 11 pm has us arriving just in time for breakfast in Disney! Have to say that driving while the kids are asleep leads to fewer stops… and fewer fights in the back seat! 🙂

    Boy, that brought back memories! Thanks Coleen! With six kids in my family, we drove everywhere for vacations when I was growing up — and camped out once we arrived. Makes me want to pack the car and hit the road! 🙂

    Those are some great tips. I will be sure to use some for our 10 hour trip to WDW in October.

    You can also rent audio books at Cracker Barrel which helps the driver stay awake! Then you can return it at any Cracker Barrel.

    Shannon – that is a neat tip but audio books would put me to sleep so that would not be a good thing for me :))

    10 hours? 15 hours? I wish! We’ve made the 18 hour drive to Disney several times and made some great memories (or at least memorable moments) along the way.

    For us it would be about 3100 miles, and 50+ hours of driving. We like to fly.
