Question about cost of toll roads near Disney

[jmsaj]

Are they all electronic or can you pay cash? Dollar rental has a $9 per day plate pass but I thought that was kind of high. We will be driving from airport to SOG and then on to Vacation Village at Parkway. May drive to Daytona one day and possibly St Pete another other than those we will be in the Disney area.

If you are just taking I-4 to I-275 to St. Pete it is still a live person at the toll booth in St. Pete. so you can pay cash. The Crosstown Expressway in Tampa no longer has people manning the booths. They just take a picture of our license plate and send us a bill in the mail. We rarely take the Crosstown and our Sunpass isn't even in the car anymore (it's in the garage. LoL). The few occasions my husband may be running late and take the crosstown we just pay the bill in the mail.

I have never been to the Orlando airport so not sure what tolls they have. I have driven Tampa to Daytona and do not recall any toll roads.

I use a temporary sun pass that you can buy in convenience stores in Florida. It costs 5.99 and comes without funds. You go online and load it with the amount you want. I put $25 on it and only used about $10 or so running around last trip.

I would not pay $9 a day for their toll gadget. Either get your own or pay cash. You will waste so much money for the same of convenience with their transponder.

Daytona from Disney--just take I-4 as it goes directly there.

Pretty sure Vacation Village is accessible from 192, so I tolls.

And then you have your St Pete tolls.

Not worth a $63 rental for the week for >$20 in tolls.

Semi-off-topic, but I would make sure you have a few dollars in change in case you end up at an unmanned toll. We have been successfully using the GPS on our phones for a year and a half now instead of borrowing my parents hand-held gps when we travel. We had so many problems on this trip! The directions were awful, we would have been better off using intuition alone. We ended up at two unmanned tolls. The first I had enough change, the second, we were 10 cents short. DBF spotted a dime someone had dropped on the ground, opened the door and scooped it up. Luckily nobody was behind us until we dropped the last dime in so we didn't hold anyone up. It was good for a little chuckle.

Thanks for the information. I don't mind paying cash for the tolls but I was under the impression that there were some tolls that didn't accept cash but if that is not the case Im ok with cash tolls or unmanned tolls.
