We live in northeast PA. My daughter and her boyfriend did the drive to Disneyworld twice last summer. In early June they left at 11:00PM. They got through Baltimore/Washington before any AM madness began. They rolled into their place in Kissimmee later the next afternoon. When they left in late August for the College Program, they left around midnight. Same deal. They got right through everything and stopped for two or three breaks on the way down. Oh, to be young again....

driving in the wee hours of the morning is always best if possible. It doesn't feel like "driving at night" if you go to bed at 5pm and wake up at midnight. That is a strategy I use on our very frequent long distance family roadtrips. And the first 8 hours of your drive is not scenic at all so you wouldn't miss anything
