[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’ve done driving to Orlando before, we left around 4:30pm (after school kids back from home), stay at NC beach area overnight, then arrived the next evening at Orlando. We didn’t want to take risk driving midnight, usually those cars still on the road at that time all drive so fast, and the one drives would get so tired, it’s just not safe especially you have 3 kids with you.

To save time we pre ordered groceries (fruit, pastries/bread/croissants, yogurt, string cheese, boxed single packed snacks, waters, zip bags to pack bread/pastries for kids to snack in between meal, milk, disposable cups/utensils/plates) for curbside pick up using Instacart. It saved a lot of time as we were so tired but was able to pick up groceries and got dinner then went back to hotel to rest.

We packed snacks, chips, lollipops/chocolates, board games, clipboard with coloring paper and markers, craft pipe cleaner, small toys for kids. I also brought a lot of baby wipes, adult and kids Tylenol/advil (for adult headache and kids fever just in case), anti-diarrheal tablets in case, kids antiseptic cleansing foam spray, polysporin ointment, bandaid, cotton swab, liquid bandage spray, sanitizer, allergy medicine, eye drop, sunblock, care free pads, diapers for baby, couple more extra set of clothes for kids to change in case, disposable raincoat, waterproof/wind proof jacket, hats, sunglasses and extra pairs of shoes for everyone.

Have a good trip.[/quote]

Where do you stay?[/quote]

On the way to Orlando we stayed at Myrtle NC area hotel (several blocks away from beach, knew wouldn’t have time to enjoy the beach the next day). On the way home was at a beach front as we have bit more time to explore (we left Orlando in the morning and arrived NC in the evening). Another time we left Orlando around 6pm and stayed over night at Home2 Suites by Hilton Brunswick at GA, originally planned to stay at SpringHill Suites Savannah Downtown / Historic District but didn’t have time to explore the area next day. Another time was at Jekyll island GA ( near sea turtle center). We usually stayed at Cabana bay beach resort when we drive, sometimes at Disney resort but we enjoy the cabana bay beach resort more.[/quote]
