The only way we can afford to go to WDW once every 12-18 months is to drive there from here in upstate NY.
I always get a trip tik from AAA, and another wonderful book is the Exit Authority. Renamed Exit Source in 2001, I think it is now out of print. It is a wonderful resource that would tell of all gas stations, restaurants, banks, Wal-marts, hotels, etc, etc. within a 1/4-mile radius of any given interstate interchange. We managed to find a copy on ebay for a friend. Even though the info might be slightly outdated, not all that much changes at those interchanges from year to year. It is a great resource. Haven't found anything that really compares.
I just love the welcome centers as you enter each state. Usually within the first couple miles after you cross the border, there are always clean rest rooms and if the weather is nice, you can take advantage of the picnic areas which are usually there. No gas, but a great stop for a quick on-off. |
