Yikes, tropical cyclone could develop around 6/25!!
UGH we had to drive home through Hurrican Sandy last October. Hoping we aren't on the road or in FL when this one hits!
We're leaving 6/20 and coming home 6/30.
Okay been lurking for a bit.... we are in Kalamazoo Michigan and everyone thinks I'm nuts but it looks like it's quite a bit cheaper to drive to Orlando even though we have 4 kids (10,7,2,&4) and we're not gonna be able to go for a year or more but just going to hang out subscribe, read posts and learn for you all.... I'm not nuts to do it right? It seems to be much more economical even though not as convenient, but it's an experience also, right?!
LOL! We drove home through Hurricane Sandy this past Oct. as they shut down the railways at 2:00 pm while we were checking in for the autotrain!we are hurricane Wilma survivors!!!! it was to hit the day we were driving down. it slowed and hit 2 days after we checked in. we went to check in and I asked, are you still checking people in? the lady said yes, why do you ask?i said theres a cat. 3 coming!!!! she looked at me, said your from pa.? im from boston, a cat. 3 around here is like getting 6 inches of snow at home.
ok, I feel better now!!!! put it in terms I can understand!!!!
i didn't know a palm tree could bend like that and not snap off!!! I have video of it. we were at okw in a one bedroom. if you didn't look outside, you would never know it was going on.

Driving out 78 and being the only car on the road from Hamburg to Fogelsville was pretty creepy!

Planning on hitting MK on 6/22 as it is out 17th anniversary! I know it'll be packed but we're gonna take a break from 2-7!
Our kids are 14, 10 and 6 and we'll be hitting the road on the 20th! I bring lots of snacks, portable dvd player with a couple new movies, headphones and new books for them. Older 1 has a Kindle Fire and 10 y.o. an refurbed ipod touch, 6 y.o. a leapPad so this trip will be easier I hope!My wife my 3 children (14,8,6) are leaving in 1 week. We are driving down from Long Island. We are planning on driving straight through. My kids get out of school at 11:00 am and we plan on hopping in the car and leaving from there.
Any suggestions to keep the kids from killing each other and us from killing them?
My DD11 and I are driving down from Mid-Western Ontario in October. We're going to try out "car camping" at large truck stops along the way instead of paying for hotels - we're practicing in the back yard tonight! We've done a couple of long-distance drives like this together - Myrtle Beach and Eastman Georgia. Myrtle Beach I cracked up my car hitting a huge pothole in the dark. I hate driving in unfamiliar places in the dark! So my strategy is to start out in the tiny wee hours of the morning, as I am pretty familiar with the roads down to the border, and then drive until I am really really tired (once it starts to get dark) and then find a big travel plaza to hole up in for the night. Start out again at first light and hopefully be at Bonnet Creek before dark the second day! Wish us luck!!
hebbynan said:Have any of you fellow travelers ever purchased a pre-paid visa/mastercard to use during your travel to and from Disney? We used our cc when we drove to Miami, but I was always so hesitant due to increasing cc theft and fraud. I was doing research online and I know that there are fees associated with the purchase/use and that really doesn't bother me. What I am concerned about is actually being able to use it for lunches and dinners as well as gas. Any comments or experiences would be appreciated. TIA!!
Sharon!!!! I guess we are going to miss each other by about a week in December!!!! we are going down again for over Christmas. we are taking a Christmas tree again with us!! im sure briana will be working a lot but im sure she will get a day off along the week some where.
Hmm. I don't know if I can sleep upright for more than one night at a time. I'm glad you're trying it out in the backyard before actually doing it on the road.
Where do you enter the border? Detroit? Sault Ste Marie? Or somewhere in Minnesota?
If my calculations are correct, our dates at Bonnet Creek may overlap. We're getting there on October 27th.
Ok, so it's 3:20, and we've learned:
* no laptop in the "bed" - it's amazing how much room that thing takes up in a subcompact car!
* we need camping mats!
* more blankets on cold nights!
* he who locked the side door of the house is in big trouble !!!! Lol
