[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have done auto train 4 times - all with good sales and always taking the train south.  I had significant delays twice - so if I was planning on Disney, I would either plan to take the train back OR add an extra day.  I have never done the room - just got regular coach seats.  I went with little kids on 2 trips, they did fine with tablets and packing dinner and snacks and taking a travel pillow and blanket.  kids Travel for half price.  groups often get discounts on tickets.  If you can rotate the drive with 3 people [b]and you can sleep in the car,[/b] that might be a comparable choice.  the drive is long but easy.  [/quote]

I don't think there is any need to sleep in the car.     OP hasn't said exactly where they are driving from, but I did a google maps search and Reston, Columbia, Washington DC--all less than 13 hours drive. [/quote]

[b]Said someone who hasn’t done this drive[/b].  It will be 15 hours, but PP is crazy to suggest sleeping in the car. Get a hotel, which will cost less than $500.  [/quote]

Said someone who has no idea who they are talking to.

I've done it many times, with kids much younger than OPs too.
The actual driving time is less than 13 hours from anywhere in the DMV.   Of course, they can choose to make it a little longer than that by taking quick stops, or make it much longer than that by taking longer stops.  That's up to them.

When pp mentioned sleeping in the car, I didn't think she meant over night.  I think she meant that while one adult is driving, the other adults can be sleeping (sitting up in their seat.)   I just don't think that's necessary.   Most adults are awake at least 16 hours per day on a typical day (if they sleep 8 hours.)[/quote]
