BEWARE ... Kissimmee & Orlando - toll roads
We are vacationing (not camping ) in Kissimee. It seems like like everywhere you go around here except I4 they hit you with tolls. You can't go more than 10 miles (some less) without getting a toll booth. What gets me is you pay a toll and your exit is less than a half mile up the road, they set these up before the off ramp to make sure they get you more than once.
Then there are the unmanned ones. Watch out for these because they only accept coins, you can't back up. I threw in 98cents of the $1.00 fee and got my picture taken ( in a rental car) so make sure you smile. Can't wait for that added bill to our trip.
Just about every intersection has ticket cameras. You will see many people being added to the states scrap book. These intersections are much bigger than those in my home town and take you twice as long to get through. Just a suggestion ... If the light turns yellow do everything you can to stop. I suspect I received a token of the local authorities appreciation here as well.
It kind of grinds you after spending all the money we are in local restaurants, universal studios, Epcot, stores, etc. It keeps you on your toes. Then the locals get upset because your leery of doing something wrong on their roads and you aren't moving fast enough for them, even though your doing the speed limit. Many 1 finger salutes.
Now I know why we camp.
