Walt Disney World Road Trips
Five Disney itineraries built by a Pixie agent — toddler-pace, first-timer, with grandparents, with the parks themselves, and the easy multi-night route.
Atlanta to Disney with a 4-Year-Old
A 2-day, 5-hours-of-driving-max plan that gets the Truckster to Magic Kingdom without melting down a 4-year-old in the back seat.

NYC to Disney for the First Time
Three days down I-95 the way the Griswolds actually drive it — including the obligatory Pedro stop and a real Savannah overnight before the final push into Mickey country.

Charlotte to Disney with Grandparents Joining
A multi-generation Disney trip the easy way: parents and kids drive from Charlotte, grandparents fly to Orlando, everyone arrives at the resort within a few hours of each other.

The Real Griswold's Walt Disney World Road Trip Guide
Six days, four parks, one Truckster. The complete road-trip-to-Disney plan from a Pixie agent who's been doing it since the 90s. The drive in, the rope-drops, the swap-out park day, and the credits-roll dinner.

Boston to Walt Disney World
1,500 miles from Boston to Disney over four real driving days — a Northeast-corridor classic with a Savannah overnight, the Mrs. Wilkes Southern lunch stop, and a Day 4 arrival fresh enough that you actually want to do Magic Kingdom that night.
See the plan →
Detroit to Walt Disney World
1,200 miles down I-75 over three real driving days — Knoxville overnight, Tifton GA pit stop, Florida by Day 3. The Midwest's most direct route to Disney with the fewest surprises.

Universal Orlando Road Trips
Hagrid's, Velocicoaster, and the brand-new Epic Universe. The full Universal stack from two different origins.
Chicago to Universal Orlando with Teens
A 2-day Midwest-to-Hogwarts run that respects the teen attention span: faster pace, drive-thru meals, optional Mammoth Cave detour, and a Hard Rock Hotel arrival that even teenagers will admit is cool.

The Universal Orlando Road Trip Guide (Epic Universe Edition)
Six days, three parks, one new Epic Universe. The complete road-trip-to-Universal plan from a Pixie agent who's been booking it since the Hulk had paint cracks. Hagrid's at rope-drop, Velocicoaster at sunset, CityWalk dinner.

California Parks Road Trips
Disneyland Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood from the obvious origins — Phoenix, Vegas, the Bay Area. Short Western drives, not cross-country marathons.
Phoenix to Disneyland — The One-Day Drive
Phoenix to Anaheim in one push — 360 miles, ~6 hours on I-10 west, two real stops, kids in the Disneyland lobby by 5 PM. No overnight needed unless the family wants one.
See the plan →
Las Vegas to Disneyland — The 4-Hour Hop
Vegas to Anaheim in under 4 hours if you leave before 9 AM Saturday — the kind of drive Vegas locals do for a long weekend without thinking twice. One real lunch stop at Mad Greek, optional Calico ghost town detour, Disneyland by 2 PM.
See the plan →
Bay Area to Disneyland — The I-5 Down-the-Valley Drive
SF or San Jose to Anaheim is a 6-hour I-5 push — flat, fast, boring, with two real stops that make the trip survivable. Leave at 8 AM, lunch at Harris Ranch, gas at Tejon, Disneyland by 4 PM.
See the plan →
Las Vegas to Universal Studios Hollywood — The Movie-Studio Weekend
Vegas to Universal Hollywood — same I-15 cruise as the Disneyland version, just exit earlier. 270 miles, under 4.5 hours, lunch at Mad Greek, Universal CityWalk lobby by dinner. Works from Phoenix too with a longer first leg.

Cross-Country Tours
The big ones — multi-state road trips with national parks, roadside oddities, and the kind of stops a Truckster was built for.
The Great American Oddity Tour
Ten days. Eight states. One Truckster. Every roadside oddity that earned a permanent spot in American road trip lore — Cadillac Ranch to Salvation Mountain, with Wall Drug and Carhenge in between.
See the plan →
Family National Parks: Eastern Loop
Eight days, five national parks, one loop. The Eastern road-trip answer to 'do we have to fly to Utah to see real America?' Answer: no.
See the plan →
Retro Roadside Icons — A Route 66 Greatest Hits Tour
Nine days. Chicago to Santa Monica. Every neon sign, mid-century motor court, glass-bottle soda fountain, and roadside service station that made Route 66 a religion. The Truckster runs on premium and nostalgia.
See the plan →
Atlanta to Disneyland — The Cross-Country Edition
2,200 miles, five driving days, three time zones — Atlanta to Disneyland along I-40, Memphis BBQ overnight, Cadillac Ranch photo stop, Grand Canyon optional detour, Vegas Friday-night gas, Anaheim Saturday afternoon. The Truckster's longest trip on the planner.

Florida Detours & Hidden Gems
Drive to a Disney/Universal/cruise trip the slow way — Florida springs, hidden Southern gems, pre-cruise overnights.
Atlanta to Port Canaveral Cruise
1.5 days from Atlanta to a Disney/Royal/Carnival cruise — including the only sane way to time embarkation: stay near the port the night before.
See the plan →
Florida Springs & Gardens (5-Day Detour to WDW)
Five days through Florida's other side — the springs, gardens, and old-Florida landmarks tourists miss on the way to the parks. Ends at WDW with a saner family.
See the plan →
Griswold Hidden Gems — The South's Best-Kept Road Trip
Seven days. Mostly the Southeast. Every stop on this trip is one Pixie clients ask about AFTER they've already done the Disney run twice. The South the locals don't put on the brochures.
See the plan →
NYC to Port Canaveral Cruise
3 days down I-95 to your Disney/Royal/Carnival cruise — with a Savannah dinner stop, a pre-cruise night in Cocoa Beach, and the only honest answer to 'should we drive Friday or Saturday?' (Friday).
See the plan →
Atlanta to Port Tampa Cruise
Atlanta to Tampa is the easy cruise — a single 7-hour driving day, dinner at Columbia Restaurant in Ybor City the night before, and a 15-minute morning drive to your Carnival or Royal ship.
See the plan →
Chicago to Port Canaveral Cruise
1,250 miles from Chicago to Port Canaveral over three driving days — Nashville Hot Brown overnight, a Hampton Inn Tifton GA pit stop, and a Cocoa Beach pre-cruise night so you board Saturday morning fresh.
See the plan →
Charlotte to Port Everglades Cruise
Charlotte to Port Everglades is the perfect 2-day cruise drive — through Savannah for a Mrs. Wilkes lunch, sleep in St. Augustine, easy morning into Fort Lauderdale, board your Princess or Holland America ship by noon.
