Florida Turnpike question??

[spedteacher]

Is it pretty easy to travel of the turnpike? I have decided to go down I-75 and get on the turnpike then get on I-4. It is pretty easy? Are there any confusing turns that may get me lost?

You want to take 429 and avoid I-4. That road brings you right onto Disney property. You can find a map with 429 on the FL turnpike website.

The FL turnpike is an easy drive. Some traffic but not as busy as 75 IMO. Definitely take the new route and avoid I-4.

What is the 429 I have not driven in the last 3 years. But I previously got off the turn pike at 50 in Clermont and turned on to 535, is 429 shorter?

If you go to the FL turnpike website you can see where 429 goes. It avoids all the traffic on 50 and 535.

This is good info to know. However, I have an additional question about the turnpike? I am correct in my understanding that this a toll road? And if so, how many tolls do you go through and what is the approximate cost per toll?

Thanks

Florida's Turnpike is indeed a toll road. Coming south you'll experience one mainline toll plaza priced at $2.50. ($2.00 with Sunpass)

If you get off onto the new TOLL 429 Western Beltway and head south there is one additional mainline toll plaza priced at $1.00 for everyone. The Western Way entrance into WDW is labeled as "Disney World/Hartzog Road". This is the easiest way in if you're going to Disney resorts or straight to a theme park.

If your hotel is on International Drive or away from WDW then the I-4 exit may still be the best for you. In this case there is a $.50 toll on the exit ramp from the Turnpike onto I-4 for all users.
