Tolls from MCO to Disney World

[winnapooh]

Can anyone tell me how much the tolls are when driving from MCO to the main gate (we're going to AKL). I thought I remember hearing they went up since we last drove that route, but I'm not having any luck finding the amount. I want to make sure I have correct change.

Thanks!

$1.25, $1.25 and $0.50. However, I usually need an extra quarter for the last one because they have grates over the coin bucket, and my quarter always bounces out!

Great, thanks for the response

You can save that last 50 cents by getting off 417 at exit 6. It doesn't take any longer and it brings you onto WDW property between Epcot and DTD.

Just note that the first two exits are staffed and give change. The last exit is unstaffed and requires exact change.

These directions have you taking exit 3 (Osceola Parkway, IIRC) off 417. If you take exit 6 to World Center Drive/536, you avoid the last toll. (There was some construction on Osceola, but I guess it's done?)

Are you really supposed to put the coins in nicely as opposed to throwing them?

Just like my grade school teacher reprimanded me when I threw trash across the room and missed the wastebasket?

There are various kinds of carnival games (not at Disney if I recall) where the ball or coin or ring keeps bouncing off the target or out of the basket.

At any rate if my coin didn't make the basket I would get out, pick it up, and try again.

To answer the original question, $0.00, $1.00, and $0.00.

Leave the airport by the north exit, then left at first light (Frontage). You will pass a toll booth on the other side of a fence ($0.00). Next light (Conway, little over a mile from the preceding) take a left and immedately take another left (another light) onto the cloverleaf for Rte. 528 (Beach Line) west. I think the cash lanes for the toll ($1.00) are at the far right. End of 528 bear left onto I-4 West (southwest). Then get off I-4 at Osceola Parkway west ($0.00). All the way to the end for the Lodge or Kidani (take a little bear left instead of the big bear right at Animal Kingdom theme park).

Retracing your steps back to the airport (I-4 East to 528 East) get off 528 at its exit 9 (Tradeport). Left and cross under, get into middle lane. Required right onto McCoy (becomes Frontage). Little over a mile to 436 (Semoran) and turn right to enter airport.
