Mobile Mustang or not?

My husbands dream is to have a mustang when get to Florida. I would love for him to have his dream but am apprehensive about the fact we also have 2 children and luggage! I'm thinking there won't be enough space 😩

Hey sorry can't answer your question but we have hired a convertible Mustang and also have 2 children and luggage. We are just going to take the 2 suitcases though so should hopefully be enough room. I've always wanted a Mustang so it's a definite must for us 😄 Hope someone can answer your question

I don't have personal experience with it but it is something I have considered (and so far dismissed). I think you'll have too much luggage to fit it all in.
might give you an idea of the available boot space, and
is a full review of the '15 model (back seat and boot space from 20:00 onwards).

In short, it's not a family car and it won't be practical even if you can somehow fit all the luggage in However, if you're of the lateral thinker type you might consider picking up the car somewhere after you have checked into the hotel - e.g. either get a cab or Magical Express or some other alternative transport from the airport to the hotel, and the same back (also maybe check in at Disney Springs if flying VA).

Depending on the size of the cases you might not have enough room even with two cases.

We had one in April, there was two adults, one child. It was a squash with the lugguage but it was only to the airport and back. The luggage we had was two carry on bags, two backpacks, two large suitcases and a large disabled buggy, so if your taking no more than two large suitcases you will be fine

If you are going for a convertible, there will just about be enough room for 2. We put one case in the trunk and one in the back seat.

We had a mustang convertible last time and will do again (fingers crossed!) this time. It won't fit all our luggage in (1 suitcase, 3 holdalls & carry one) so we use Magical Express and then pick up the car at DCCC the next morning. Even if I wasn't staying on site I would probably still get a taxi to the hotel.

We have had both Mustangs and Camaro's for our last 6 holidays and I can honestly say that I would not recommend for a family. The ride in the back seats is very windy with the roof down and the luggage space is very restricted.

Unless you travel lite or you have your suitcases dilivered to where your staying I'd say the mustang is a no.

We had one last year, 2 adults and 1 child. On the way back to the airport, both front seats were pushed as far forward as possible and the luggage was stacked to the roof! We certainly wouldn't have fitted another person in there. I actually thought I was going to have to travel to the airport separately! But I just squeezed in.
