Driving from Louisiana

[Deb & Bill]

If you are leaving from Baton Rouge, it takes about ten hours to get to WDW. If you leave from Shreveport, it takes about 14 hours.

We drove from nj to fl (17 hours) with our irish twins 2x, at 10 & 22 months and 1.5 and 2.5 and our best bet was to get up at 2am let the kids sleep, stop for breakfast do a little more driving then stop at a restaurant with a play area for a break.

it is manageable with no overnights, but decide that if it becomes unbearable you will stop at a reasonably priced hotel. we once stopped for 3 hours for $50 just to get out change the kids, etc.

as far as the resort is concerned we have always been able to check-in early. and if we had to wait we relax and the pool or playground.

Irish twins?

We are leaving out of Lafayette but will have to make frequent stops with the kids. Plus it around the Mardi Gras holiday to will hope to miss some of that traffic as well.

Irish twins?

Means siblings born in the same year but not at the same time.

We left from our home near Beaumont, TX at 3am on the last trip. We were at the LA/MS boarder as the kids were waking. This allowed us to miss the Baton Rouge traffic and make good time. We stopped in Live Oak, FL and then drove into Disney the next day and had lunch at DS. We plan to leave early again next trip.
