Hello, these are the directions given to me from Sheraton Vistana Resorts webpage:
From MCO:
Follow airport exit signs to "Orlando/ Area Attractions.
Take airport exit road to Toll Road 528 West (Beeline Expressway).
Go towards Tampa for approximately 10 miles.
Exit onto Interstate 4 West (Tampa/ Disney World).
Proceed on I-4 West to Exit 68 (State Road 535 Lake Buenaventura Vista/ Kissimmee).
Turn left (south) onto State Road 535.
Sheraton Vistana Resort is one mile south on the right.

I have been reading a lot about how some toll booths are unmanned and some are not that will give you receipt and some that only accept Sun Pass. I don't have any passes - just want to use cash, and I want a person in the toll booth who will hand me a receipt.
Following this route will I encounter any problems having to use only a pass or using an unmanned toll booth?
 
There are no tolls that are Sunpass only ... however, there are Sunpass lanes at most tolls just and there are cash lanes at every toll (typically, pass lanes are to the left, cash to the middle/right). I'm not sure if you'll be able to get a receipt at the tolls (ie. I'm not sure if they are all manned), but you will be able to use the cash lanes regardless.

Some people have reported that the automatic coin machines didn't count their coins correctly, but this is a VERY rare occurance. As rare as the Sunpass lanes not recognizing the Sunpass ... it happens but it's extremely rare. Remember that everything mechanical will eventually break.

The only issue we've had is missing our exit then running into another toll, turning around and paying the toll again, then missing our exit again .... it got pricey and we nearly ran out of coins, but it was our own fault :rotfl:
 
On the routing they gave you you will encounter two mainline toll plazas. Both are staffed 24/7 and can give you a paper receipt. The first toll plaza is adjacent the airport while the second one a few miles later is near the Florida Mall. After that, TOLL 528 continues to be labeled as a toll road but is actually free all the way to I-4.

PS-The Beeline Expressway they refer to (TOLL 528) is now called the Beachline Expressway. But signs rarely use the Beachline name but simply refer to the road as TOLL 528.
