Whoo hoo! I'm here. So I can't remember when you were supposed to leave, so I am going to wing my guesses here.
I am thinking you got on the road about 5am (edited!)
3 stops
And being very optimistic here...no emergency supplies were used (because you were prepared for it of course)
THanks! I think that is a new favorite family photo!Also wanted to mention that the wedding picture is beautiful!

Beautiful family!
Glad to be able to give you some input in that arena. We are more used to the Moderate rooms ourselves.Anxious to hear all about your trip! We are pondering staying a few days at a Value Resort on our next trip then moving to a deluxe to surprise the family for 2 nights at AKL and possibly 2 nights at our go-to resort Boardwalk Villas. Curious to see how you like the value resorts!
Yey I found your TR! Can't wait to read more.
Following along! Can't wait to read more.
I was so pleased with how well that came together. We even got a few oohs and ahhs as we walked out to the car.Okay, I'm back! First off, great family photo in your wedding attire!

I'm in! Loved your last trip report!
The family photo at the wedding is lovely!
From the photo near the partners statue, it appears it was very crowded while you were there. Yikes!
I'll guess you were on the road at 4:45 with 3 stops and had to use the emergency supplies 2 times.
Joining in. Looking forward to reading about the trip
Joining in!

Ok... the way things usually work, if you're not prepared for something bad, it will happen. If you are prepared, it won't. And since I really hope you won't need it, I'll go with 0.
yay I'm on board!

Update coming soon. Just have to finish uploading the videos and finish up the update. Expect it probably tomorrow or the day after.
I'd like to know that too!Please tell me why it's so hard for a man to get his bag packed more than an hour before it needs to be loaded into the car!
Wow, great job!We were out of the neighborhood and on the highway by 4:16am. By 4:20 she was dead to the world. The roads were completely clear. It was glorious!
Oh, no. Hope it wasn't an issue.It was at about the 3 and half hour mark that I realized that I had left both my nebulizer and my inhaler at home. Seeing as we were about in Valdosta at the time I knew there was nothing I could do but call my pharmacy if I felt I needed a replacement once we got down there.
Those videos were hilarious! I could totally see us getting the same reaction if we tried that. Glad she finally believed you!Once seated with our Cinnabons DH came in with the wrapped Magicband box and we tried for the reveal.
We had officially made it a full Road Trip without a Car Sickness issue.

Amazing! My DH is an engineer and it amazes me how well he uses his Tetris skills when loading a car.DH showed his true car packing guru knowledge and got the whole car packed in 30 minutes. No windows were blocked.
Wow! I'm tired already.This time we had a goal of getting out the door as close to 4am as possible with a hard deadline of no later than 4:30.
When in doubt, drug the child.Promptly at 4am DH was creeping into Little Miss’s room armed with a syringe of Benadryl to hopefully prevent car sick issues and to get her to sleep better in the car.
Perfect.By 4:20 she was dead to the world. The roads were completely clear. It was glorious!
Oh no! I hope this doesn't cause any problems.It was at about the 3 and half hour mark that I realized that I had left both my nebulizer and my inhaler at home.
Oh, the anticipation!We pulled into the Travel Center and decided now was as good a time as any to go ahead and finally reveal to Little Miss just where we were staying.
Well that was a bit of a let down. She is just the cutest thing though.Once seated with our Cinnabons DH came in with the wrapped Magicband box and we tried for the reveal.

Hitting The Road, Otherwise known as the boring one with no pictures in it (Day 1 – 3/17/16)
{Please tell me why it's so hard for a man to get his bag packed more than an hour before it needs to be loaded into the car!}
DH showed his true car packing guru knowledge and got the whole car packed in 30 minutes.
Our strategy was to hit the road as early as possible to make the driving through Georgia as painless as possible.
Promptly at 4am DH was creeping into Little Miss’s room armed with a syringe of Benadryl
Even though it was still dark out we have discovered that when riding in the car, her sunglasses help her sleep better and help prevent light shining on her and waking her up.
The roads were completely clear. It was glorious!
Some may also remember me mentioning that my neighbor told me that the week before we went down, it had only taken them an hour to get past Macon Ga on their way to Disney. DH and I are both baffled at how that was possible. I will freely admit that I kept between 80 – 90 mph pretty much the whole time and it still took us 2 hours to get near Macon.
It was at about the 3 and half hour mark that I realized that I had left both my nebulizer and my inhaler at home.
We hated to stop because DH and I knew the moment that we slowed down and got off the exit she would wake up.
Sure enough as soon as we got on the exit ramp Little Miss’s eyes popped open.
At this point we gave up, cleaned up our stuff and headed back out.
A few minutes later I realized that I had forgotten to get Little Miss’s and My Mickey Ears out and put them on.
Apparently I should have done this from the get go because a few minutes after putting them on this happened:

Hey, we're not all like that. I usually try to pack, especially for Disney, a few days ahead. Partly because I don't necessarily enjoy packing, but I like to have it out of the way so I don't have to deal with it right before we have to leave.{Please tell me why it's so hard for a man to get his bag packed more than an hour before it needs to be loaded into the car!}
Promptly at 4am DH was creeping into Little Miss’s room armed with a syringe of Benadryl to hopefully prevent car sick issues and to get her to sleep better in the car.
You're off to a great start!We were out of the neighborhood and on the highway by 4:16am. By 4:20 she was dead to the world. The roads were completely clear. It was glorious!
Well, I guess if you're driving 180 mph you could do it.Some may also remember me mentioning that my neighbor told me that the week before we went down, it had only taken them an hour to get past Macon Ga on their way to Disney. DH and I are both baffled at how that was possible. I will freely admit that I kept between 80 – 90 mph pretty much the whole time and it still took us 2 hours to get near Macon.
Uh oh... I hope this doesn't become a bigger problem.I drove as long as I could trying to keep Little Miss asleep as long as possible. It was at about the 3 and half hour mark that I realized that I had left both my nebulizer and my inhaler at home.
Good to know!After fueling up the car and dealing with the potty and getting Little Missed Dressed for the day we spotted a Cinnabon inside the Travel center. { FYI for those driving on 75, This was the Travel Center on exit 470 I think. (I may be wrong by a few exits but it’s the only exit around that advertises a Cinnabon) This Travel Center gets High rankings for potty stop cleanliness from me. We also found it easy to get to and easy to get back on 75 from there.}
I love how her eyes just lit up at the sight of the wrapped box... even if the realization was a little slow.Once seated with our Cinnabons DH came in with the wrapped Magicband box and we tried for the reveal.
Heck yeah! Gotta stay ahead of the GPS' time to beat.At this point we gave up, cleaned up our stuff and headed back out. This time with DH behind the wheel with strict instructions not kill the awesome lead time on our ETA that I had achieved.

Pop~Which Resort are we staying at?
60's Hippy Dippy Pool view. I'll say first floor so you can walk right out to the pool.~Where is our Room? (Most accurate will get most points)
Um... Little Miss isn't going to let you go anywhere other than that pool once she sees it.~ Where do we head first?
