How to get to Disney

You can fly if you like. I personally like to drive it great seeing the world through your window. it is not easy with kids and we have 5. Here are some tips that we used some of these are variations from pinterest . First, and foremost make sure that your car is big enough for everyone to be comfortable and extra room in case anything that you have on top of the car can go inside if it rains or storms. About a week and a half I started packing ( I was packing 5 kids and 2 adults.) day by day as the clothes were cleaned I would pack what was needed. On the day we left I had bought some craft organizer cases ( one for each child) and in each slot I filled with a snack ( red hots, peanuts, m & m, marshmallows, etc... we packed a cooler with drinks and got pillow and blankets ready. We left right after dinner because it was storming and having the kids sleep most of the trip sounded like the best idea. It was a great idea.

here is a packing list
