I’m getting to that point post-trip when I start suffering from serious Disney withdrawals and it feels like I’m never going to make it back (even though my next trip is already well into the planning phase). Thinking about the next trip home is always what gets me through these difficult in-between times, so I thought that this time I would talk about one of the biggest parts of any Disney trip for my family (and many others)…the road trip.
