We are goining to drive with two teenage kids from Torono(Canada) to Orlando ,Florida. We need to spend night somewhere in the middle. Should we book a hotel room in advance or it's no big problem to find avalible room, say somwhere between West Virginia and Virginia. Time is right before Xmas(Dec 23), but we are not sure how far we'll get on the first day of our drive.

Rooms do get booked fast around the holidays. Book online now. I recommend Holiday Inn Express! (Cheap and Nice!) Shoot for Southern VA (that's about 1/2 way) and just keep driving until you get there! (Maybe you can treat your 2 teenager and get a hotel with an indoor pool - they will need a nice break from driving.)
Good Luck!

My dad is a long distance truck driver and he said if you drive for 10 hours from Toronto, you can probably get to Beckley, West Virginia. About an hour further down the road, is Wytheville, Virginia as another option. Pushing a bit further, Statesville or Charlotte, North Carolina are down the road. If you can make it to Charlotte, you're only around 8-10 hours from Orlando.
In terms of a hotel, since you are doing this the weekend leading into Christmas, without a reservation, you may have a hard time getting a hotel room. Now, if you decide to make a reservation at a hotel in one of these 4 cities, your best bet would be to go to the websites of the major chains (Marriott, Hilton, Super 8, Ramada). Do a city search and see what comes up close to the highways. Good luck and enjoy your drive.

Stop by the nearest CAA office before your departure and ask for any travel books that you need to drive to Florida. You'll know the limit as to how far/long you can drive at least an hour or two in advance, so you can determine approximately where you'll be and use the travel books to call ahead and see if there are any places available in that area. Just note that most Canadian cell phones won't work State-side, so you may want to call while you're stopped for gas/meal etc.
We did this on a drive from Toronto to Atlanta this summer and it worked well because we just called the hotel wo hours ahead of time to make sure they'd have something available and they suggested another place closer to the highway for us that was a fraction of the price.

Toronto is one of the very most modern varied cities on earth and with hotelbye you can have the opportunity to visit it. Toronto is a crank, if the wheatear is good; is a vivid, big-time town abuzz with activity. In Toronto you will see some of the world's finest restaurants but in addition famous landmark. One of many areas must-see from Toronto could be the 553 yards CN Tower. Towering over the downtown, the framework can be seen from nearly everywhere in the city. Guests have the choice of simply appreciating the creating from the bottom, or taking a journey as much as one of the statement parts or restaurants for amazing opinions of the city and Lake Ontario. The CN Tower was developed between 1972 and 1976 and was when, a long time before, the tallest freestanding design in the world.

Don't reserve a room. It will limit you too much. What if you leave late and want to stop before you make it to your reservation hotel? Or if you're making good time and you want to keep going? You shouldn't have a problem getting a room as long as you don't stop in a major city. If you're A very cautious person, I would call a few hotels in some of the smaller towns in VA or NC and check their availability.
2 teenagers on a road trip? May God be with you
