My girlfriend and I have decided to take advantage of our new extremely fuel-efficient hybrid and drive from the Chicago area to Disney/Universal in November.
Seeing as the drive is an estimated 18 hours, we'll be splitting it up over two days, but not as an even split; preferably something like a 12-hour drive the first day and a 6-hour drive the next day so we can spend most of the second day in our Orlando resort and recharge before hitting the parks.
Anyone done this same route before? Where would be a good point to stop for the night? And generally any road trip advice would be helpful, this is the longest one I've ever done.
