Hard to say really - it depends on how often they go on long journeys, what length of time they consider to be 'long' and what activities they're used to.

A car journey isn't the place to get into a battle of wills over what activities they will do, so be careful you don't prepare a pile of stuff and then get into a wrangle over whether they actually want to do it or not.

Does your sister have an in-car DVD? More particularly, one that can be removed from her car and slung between your own seats for them to watch? If she does, and that's what they're used to, then you may simply have to let them have that. It's easier than dealing with moaning.
