"We used to drive down from NY all the time when we were older kids with my family. South of the Border was interesting. We stopped in Charleston one year, and Savannah another, and Williamsburg another.

We stayed at the Hilton on site--and used to bus shuttles to get to the site. If you can afford it, or have frequent flyer miles you can trade in. I thought it was worth it. It made things very easy. (That time I was by myself with my son, and parents.)

Also, invest in a decent umbrella stroller--one that reclines a little bit, so you and your husband, and family can take turns riding the rides when naptime happens.

And if you really want to save money, pack lunches instead of buying them there. And, buy your toy at entry to the park and then refuse to buy anything else. I think the "gimmee's" can be rather rough there, because they are marketing their stuff as part of the experience. Have a great trip, it will go just fine."
