My family and I are thinking about going to Disney but we aren’t keen on flying. We live in Texas and want to drive. How far of a drive is it to Florida?
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
A family trip to Disney sounds like a blast and road trips are great for seeing sights along the way! If you were to drive straight through, you can get from Texas to Florida in 20 hours and 12 minutes covering a distance of 1,370 miles.
Driving that long can be exhausting, so you may want to break it up with some fun stops! Here are some great places to check out along the way:
Lafayette, Louisiana—A funky little cajun town with lots of good food and live music.
New Orleans, Louisiana—The home of Mardi Gras and Cafe du Monde (go grab some melt-in-your-mouth beignets).
Fairhope, Alabama—An eclectic mix of shops, restaurants, cafes, and Fairhope Pier.
Pensacola Beach, Florida—Over eight miles of endless white sandy beaches and dunes.
But before you hit the open highway, you’ll want to make sure your car is protected wherever the roads may take you.
