AGH I can't decide! We are leaving Binghamton NY @ 2am Sat to make it to SC by late afternoon!
Easy. Take the 81/77/26/95/4 route from Binghamton. There are a bunch of KoAs along that route. If you want really push it and can make it into Georgia, the KoA Savannah South was easy to find off the interstate, clean and friendly. At this point you will be about 5 hours from Disney since you are fairly close to the top of Georgia. When you are in the Charlotte area, you are about 10 hours from Disney. I would figure 12 hours should put you somewhere in the NC region as I am factoring in fuel and food stops. That should be around 2 PM since you are leaving at 2 AM. Be aware there is a race this weekend in that area and it is a Saturday night affair. So take that in account as you maybe going though the area in pre race traffic or possible post race traffic depending on any unforeseen factors. I think the race is around 7 PM on Saturday. Now tiredness aside, if you chose to drive another few hours, you could be through a good chuck of SC and possibly on the GA border. There is a Pilot on 95 around mile marker 77 I think that has a great RV gas pump spot.
In my experience with this route, 81 in PA not bad but I picked it up at 78 intersection. I know the top of the side of 81 is a bit hilly. I have been to Scranton and above to almost Binghamton. When I'm up there, I usually stop at New Milford where I do my thing in that area. I digress Maryland, West Virginia and Virginia were not as bad I was thinking while towing. The only real hills came after Roanoke. There is a section of 77 in VA which has some beautiful vistas so make sure the passagers tell you about them as you pay attention of the road. NC would have been pretty quick but I had stopped and seen a friend outside of Mooresville. SC was the tough one. There was about 90 miles of 77, 50 miles of 26 and another 90 miles of 95 before the next state. That run was nearly the same amount of VA. Also the state felt more hilly than VA or PA. Of course the hard part of the drive was Florida. You are so close but yet so far from Disney. It was a relief to see the exit. Overall, I would use this route again if I were to drive down again. It was worth it for a low stress ride then again my parents were riding behind us and giving us blocks to get around slower vehicles.
