According to Uber estimator it would be at least 125 each way......... Parking is only 8 bucks a day
Yesterday was single-digit day for my julaugust adventure! A week from right now, we'll be on the road, cruising down I-95. Can't come fast enough.
And that shows you how much I know about parking fees, and uber prices lol. Guess I'll keep quiet, and stick to the driving questionsAccording to Uber estimator it would be at least 125 each way......... Parking is only 8 bucks a day

Same. We leave next Saturday for the long drive down 95. I grew up in NJ but have lived in MD now for almost 18 years so a little closer drive now. Maybe we'll pass each other along the way. We are staying at the Poly too. It's our home resort. But our first night is at Kidani.
Well, congrats to you both on the single digits. We are a bit behind you. Brave driving 95 on a Saturday. I find that it is typically a crawl through the Northern half of Virginia on Saturdays. We will be driving down from NY. We leave here early Wednesday morning, and stop in SC for the night, then make it to Disney early Thursday afternoon.

We drive through Atlanta-just had a friend drive down from our area and she was stuck in traffic in Atlanta-on a saturday! It has been a couple decades since we've driven-should be interesting....Do you go through Hilton Head/beach crowd area? I'd imagine that traffic is horrific all summerThat's precisely why we leave so early. We leave NJ around 1 in the morning, and typically bypass the Virginia traffic. South Carolina, however, is also really bad on Saturday late afternoon/evenings. That's typically where we run into the most trouble.

I will be freaking out this time next week when we hit single digits...and will HAVE to be serious about packing etc... Oh and DH birthday is a few days before we leave, and driving 3 hours to be with my dad for his 70th birthday day before we start our trek to Florida...

That sounds awful, hope it goes better than you are expecting!Single digits!!
In 6 days, we fly to Florida.
In 9 days, we go to WDW.
This year we are flying so we have more time there. (We normally drive from Ohio and take 1 1/2 days to travel each way.) I am really looking forward to having less travel time, but I am also very nervous about the flight. I experience horrible ear pain when flying. Also, my equilibrium gets thrown off kilter which makes me horribly nauseous, and yes I have gotten sick on airplanes before. Last time we flew, there were no airsick bags available so this time I am making my own. (Does anyone know if southwest generally has air sick bags at the seats?)
Fortunately, I didn't get sick last time as I try to take precautions. I wear earplanes which helps tremendously with the pain. I don't eat anything the night before or the day of flying. I do take some saltines to nibble on during the flight as the crackers can help with stomach acid. That and a few sips of water help with the nausea.
I am a bit worried as lately I have been experiencing sinus issues when I first wake up in the morning. My head and ears are all clogged up which is certainly something you don't want on a flight. I'll take nasal spray with me and some sudafed the night before. Hopefully that will help. Our flight leaves at 6am. So we will be getting up around 3:15am to go to the airport. It might be worth it not to sleep at all that night.
Thankfully, we have a straight through two-hour flight. If my sinuses are acting up and I can't clear them, the earplanes won't help much. It may take a day or two for my ears to "pop." At least we will be with the in-laws while that is happening so by the time I get to WDW, all should be well.

I have had this happen to me a few times in the past. The worst was on an older plane where the air pressure in the cabin was not controlled as well. For me, I follow a few steps before getting on an airplane and it makes a HUGE difference. First, I make sure my sinus passages are clear and not swollen...well, as much as possible...lol. I use zyrtec daily and for a few days before my flight, I take an overnight antihistamine like benedryl or chloratrimitan(sp?) each night. I also cannot have caffeine the morning of my flight and I must eat something with protein for breakfast. There is something about caffeine that tends to make my blood pressure too low on an airplane which makes me feel as if I am about to pass out and I get REALLY nauseated. Eating protein helps to keep my blood sugar more stable which also helps.
Good luck!!!!
