Bee Line Expressway

[kingbear87]

We will be arriving via the Orlando airport.

We will take the Bee Line Expressway out of the airport to I-4 to WDW.

I understand the Bee Line is a toll road. How much money do I need to have ready? Are there exact change lanes?

Not sure how much the tolls are on the Bee Line, BUT, I did want to say there is a more hassle free way to go and that is: take the South exit out of the airport, hop on the FL Greenway (417) pay two tolls of 1.00 each and you are there in no time. The Beeline is not bad, but, I4 can be a horror show.

Bee line tolls (as of November 2003) two stops at 75 cents and 50 cents.

If you have a good sense of direction, a few extra minutes, and it is not evening rush hour, you can skip the 75 cent toll by going to the first light instead of directly on the Bee Line when leaving the airport north entrance. Turn left (onto Frontage Rd) bearing generally left for a little over a mile, next light take a left and quickly another left to get on the Bee Line there.

Coming back on I-4 to the Bee Line (528) get off the Bee Line at Exit 9 Tradesport, left at light to cross under, get into middle lane (reasonably low priced gas station there to refill rental car!), take right onto McCoy Road (becomes Frontage) back to Semoran Blvd which is airport entrance.

If you take 417, there is an additional exact change toll of a quarter or fifty cents, depending on where you get off.
I highly prefer 417 unless I am travelling at a non-peak time.
