Hi We just came back from wdw three wks ago.
I have to say if I was going to drive straight through I would do it on the way back, so then you can get your bed whenever you want it. No having to wait for your motel room. It would be very hard and frustrating to drive all that way and not have a hotel room waiting for you.
Heres what I would do get up early and leave around 3 or 4 a.m. and drive til around 7 or 8 at night, pull over stay in a motel for the night, get up leave by 8 and you have a short day and will be rested and able to function the second day. So you would drive 16 to l7 hours, then you only have 3 to 5hrs the next a.m. and it will be less tiring. It took us 20 hrs. to orlando, we stopped every 2 to 3 hrs for bathroom breaks, stretches and packed a lunch and also bought wendys 99 cent menu items, best value at a fast food place for a canadian.
Also I prebook a motel usually one that provides a continental breakfast, hampton inn, fairfield, country inn and suites, amerisuites, comfort inn.
We because of circumstances left hamilton at ll.00 a.m. (usually leave at 3a.m.) arrived at rock hill, s.c. at ll p.m. l2 hours, then we had 8 hours the next day to orlando.
On the way home we had one night at ormond beach, so we left in the a.m. at 4.50 a.m. from ormond beach and arrived home just before midnight, (about 19 hrs) and picked up milk and crawled into our own beds, but it was long and tiring.
Hubby did all the driving,and we were 4 adults in a minivan, so it was nice as one person could lay on the bench, and we had 4 recling captains chairs.
We drove thru fort erie, thru new york, onto erie penn, then 79/77 to I 95, not hwy 75.
