WAIT!

14 people in an RV? Unless this is a trip of less than 61 minutes, it will be absolute hell!

---

There is also the specter of 14 people deciding where to eat and not having a vehicle to get to the convenience store for tampons and tylenol etc. 14 folks pissing would fill up a holding tank right quick and if some have to take a dump...and they will...14 people will have that to enjoy for several hours. Motorhome toilets are very democratic if used on the road...they spread the wealth throughout every nook and cranny. Unless you are close enough to those people that ignoring their funk is possible it ain't gonna be pleasant by any stretch...

Unless it’s a prevost bus conversion, you will be overweight before you add the luggage. We do that many for LSU games and we only go five miles gown highland in a 40 footer. No way in hell would I go all the way to Orlando, that would be miserable.

I guess someone was bound to go there.. but there is an easy solution (even though i am 100% against the idea of taking a trip with 14 people in an RV).. the solution is to treat it just like if yall were caravanning in cars to the same destination, or on a freaking school bus trip - NO POOPING in the RV, if anyone needs to go you just exit the interstate same as if you were in a car or school bus.. unless we have people here trashy enough to go #2 in a car .

You know how many fights you are going to get into with your wife on this trip? You are going to be more stressed out after this trip than you were before.

Ain't nobody getting round trip flights to Disney for $250 and if you do you're leaving at 11PM from LA and leaving to come home from Disney at 4AM

---

There's plenty of ways to find airfare to Disney for that cost.

1 - Fly into TPA and not MCO. The drive from MCO to any Disney resort is 30-35 minutes, the drive from Tampa is roughly an hour. Additionally, car rentals in TPA are cheaper than MCO so for 25 more minutes you can save an easy 20% on the cost.

Round trip for two, $347







2- Southwest flies direct from MSY and very very frequently has direct flights ranging from $104-$124 one way for Friday evening departures and Saturday returns in the mid morning or afternoon.

If you don't want to wait for or fly Southwest and don't mind the connection plenty of airlines offer flights right now for $320 ish per person round trip but again, same airlines, same days, same schedule, etc are about $50 cheaper to fly through Tampa

I used a camper for a baseball tourney once.
Once! There were only 4 of us.
This was ha $200,000 rig borrowed from FIL, not a cheapo.

It was the most miserable, cramped, grouchy time we have ever had.

---

you're not doing something right then. you must have a 2nd car though.

Hope everyone has life insurance. 14 people in an RV with luggage and supplies would overload the brakes, sounds like a tragedy to me. Better off chartering a bus
