Hi Im new to these boards. We are leaving for Disney on Sat and driving down from NJ. We dont need to be at the parks til Monday morning technically but we are hoping to make it there by Sunday evening. We are planning on leaving our home (Central NJ) sometime on Saturday and drive into Savannah to sleep and then leave Sunday from Savannah to go into Jacksonville to hit the zoo for a little bit before heading into Disney later to meet my mom who is flying. We dont have any set time we need to arrive so long as we arrive with enough time to be able to sleep and rest to get into the parks Monday. What time would be the best to leave on Saturday? I know with the weekend there wont be the same rush hour traffic times but Im sure there will still be Saturday beach traffic for day vacationers? We are taking our 3 kids (age 7.4. and 2) so we would prefer to do more night driving but still arrive in Savannah hopefully by midnight to 2 AM the latest so we can sleep a little before heading out the following day. Is it more advisable to leave earlier in the day (before noon) or later in the afternoon? We probably cant leave earlier than around 11 AM Im thinking and can leave anytime after that. My husband wants to sleep in some in the morning so he can be well rested for the drive and we are both night owls so driving more at night is preferable between the kids and my anxiety about traffic. I appreciate the help!
