Multiple transportation questions

1. I know there are tolls in Florida. We will be flying into MCO and staying the first few nights at ASSports, we have done online check in so im assuming we will go right over to the MK that day and do our breakfast. How much are the tolls from the MCO to say the contemporary where we will have breakfast?

2. If we haven't checked in officially at our resort can we still use our MB to get the free parking at the parks? We have done the online check in but not sure how this would work.

3. We have one member coming in the next day, and staying for 3 whole days, and going back on a sunday. Would you have that person just use the DME or would you pick them up? Im having a "problem" going to pick them up and missing sometime during the day. ALSO can someone who is staying at the DAK use the DME to go to say the contemporary and meet us there?

4. With the rental cars and the "fastpass" system they offer for the tolls how does that work with the ones that are unmanned? How do you get a receipt to show you paid? If its an automatic toll how does that work if there isnt anyone there to collect money?

3. As long as the person is on the reservation for your resort room s/he can contact DME with their flight info. If you are adding the person to your room reservation after you arrive, once you've added the person you can contact DME with their flight info.

DME will only take you to the resort you are staying at so if they are staying at AKL they will not be able to take it to the CR.

Get a roll of quarters and several dollar bills. Keep them available during the drive. Assume it'll be about $5 total. You could go to the sunpass website and put in your route for the exact amount, but I find just having the quarters and ones available will work fine. Generally gets us through a whole visit.

If they are fine with DME, sign 'em up.

Nope. DME takes you to your resort.

I really wouldn't bother with that. Just get the quarters and the ones and make sure the fastpass or whatever is OFF. Oh and break the roll of quarters before hitting the road, so you don't have to deal with that at a tollbooth.

Thank you this is great information and trust me that roll of quarters will be open, probably before we land. I tend to over think and over plan things

In answer to question 2, you need to physically go to your resort to get a parking permit which will entitle you to free parking across the property. This is an A5 printed piece of paper which has your checkout date and resort on it. Check- in at the resort is usually fairly quick, as you have checked in online you can go to the online check-in desk or to regular check-in, whichever has the lowest line. Someone there will get you a parking permit, should take no more than 15 minutes.

I think other than that, if you keep your parking receipt they may refund you when you actually check-in? Perhaps others would know if this is indeed the case.

They actually are phasing out the paper parking passes.
