You won't have any problems just extra work to do. Done it many times.
ATC are terrific at helping. It's really SOP today. Hopefully, the
bloody thing will go away soon. Also hope pilots will stop penetrating it
accidently and will understand the ramifications to us all.
AOPA's online course does help.

File your flight plan on the phone, VFR or IFR:
Get your squawk code
(

Fly and don't forget to keep squawking until you land and clear the runway:
Enjoy the flight.
I'm not trying to diminish the workload just saying once you adhere to the
procedure, it's no huge deal IMHO.
Let us know how it went.

In June we are planning to fly to Washington Dulles International (IAD)
to
participate in Margy Natalie's "Reach for the Stars: Become a Pilot"
Family
Day at the National Air & Space Museum's Udvar-Hazy facility. (Yes,
we're
going to be a museum piece for the day. Think: Disney animatronic
Presidents on display -- except that it will be Mary, me and the kids
standing by our plane, talking to museum visitors about our family flying
experiences!)
The trip looks pretty easy -- 666 nm, in about 4:41. Weather
permitting,
we'll be there by lunch.
However, after hearing all the horror stories about F-16s and TFRs, it
seems
wise to approach the Usenet Altar of Knowledge, and ask those familiar
with
all the flight restrictions around Washington, D.C. for any tips on how
best
to approach Dulles VFR. What's the best way to get in?
Thanks!
