speed limit? theres a speed limit????

most of it is 65mph. there are spots you will see 70mph. get into some city areas and it will drop down to 55mph.
just a heads up, once you hit orlando city limits to what ever your exit is for wdw, make sure you dont exceed the speed limit not even by one mile. fl. state police have a zero tol. pol. in that area. source? insider info.

Another reason to consider paying the toll on FL 417, speed limit is 70 most of the way and you can do the speed limit. I-4 through Orlando is 55 most of the way (if my memory is correct).

i never looked. i get in the left lane and follow the guy in front of me. if hes going 55, im going 55. if hes doing 90, im doing 90.

Agree! And less lanes, less on and off and crossing lanes to find an exit!!

Tourists plus impatient locals on I-4 cause anxiety in our van. We love, love, love 417 and will never use I-4 ever again.

That's what we call getting ourselves a runner Let him pass, get a little bit ahead of us and go the same speed!

We were on a newly paved rural highway heading towards the beach in North Carolina and I couldn't find a speed limit sign anywhere. Two jacked up pick-up with rebel flags and huge antennas went by. I followed right behind- they pulled into the right lane and slowed down, so did I, they pulled back out and went fast, so did I. We got there pretty quick with no ticket

Well, I did it. I drove all the way down. And I liked it! Since dh has let me do 90% of the driving in the last year, I have discovered I like to drive. I am 57 and just now figuring this out, lol. We took the inland route. Left at noon Sunday, stopped at 10 in Orangeburg, SC and back on the road at 7. Pulled into POFQ at 2. So, 17 hours. Mr. Garmin said that if I drove straight through, I would be at POFQ at 2:21 a.m., but by the time we stopped at 10, the arrival time had changed to 3:56 a.m. I want to know what the engineers were smoking when the designed I4 through Orlando.

How is the morning rush hour traffic on the Delaware Memorial Bridge (southbound) around 7:00-7:30 am? We plan on using Ez pass for the toll.

Nothing like NYC area bridges! Stay left once you are approaching the toll barrier. EZ pass lanes on left and you'll stay out of the way of the folks trying to get into Wilmington past the tolls.

Great!! We may change to June, I'm having second thoughts about leaving my Dad alone at Thanksgiving, even though there's plenty of relatives around and it will be more than a year. I'm very conflicted right now!!! Our June dates would be something around 6/18 through the 26th or so. Would we cross over??

A friend worked at WDW in IT for a while. She joked about the two-finger point too!
