Tolls from Tampa to Orlando?

[mmbrad02]

We are flying into Tampa and driving to Orlando. I had plans to bring several rolls of quarters for tolls, just in case. But in reading some of these recent threads, I'm starting to wonder if that will even work. Can anyone here help? For the duration of our trip we will be driving from Tampa to Orlando, and then from the Orlando Peabody, potentially to the I-4 Outlets, and Disney. At the end we will drive to MCO to fly home.

Will we encouter any locations that will not accept cash?

There are no tolls going straight from TPA to WDW. I can't answer about driving out and about to the outlets. I drove from AKL to Target and we took the car to a few stores close by and there were no tolls.

I agree the only place you will likely run into tolls is in Orlando. If you pay attention most are easily avoidable! I drive from South of Tampa to Orlando all the time and pay no tolls.

The only tolls will be driving to MCO. One roll of quarters should be plenty, but all of the toll booths on the way also have attended booths that give change.

There are no "cashless only" toll booths in the Orlando area, and will not be for a least a couple of years more.

If you should happen to take the 429 from I-4 into the Disney area you will encounter at least one toll booth but it is manned.
The only unmanned tollbooths are a few ramp tolls so if you were to keep a couple of dollars in quarters on hand you'd be fine. I don't think they're any more then .50 each.
