To Toll or not to Toll

Depends on where I am going and how fast I want to get there.

For 250 miles and 4-5 hours extra driving time I would pay the tolls in this case, especially with kids along. Most toll roads are no hasssle.

X-2 Pay the tolls

Perhaps you could give us more detail on your route and we could offer better no toll solutions?

Tolls are annoying from Orlando to Cape Canaveral. Stop, start, stop again. But others are pick up a ticket and pay when you get off.

I am making a similar trip in July. I ordered the Florida SunPass. Costs a little but sure eliminates hassle. Discounts vs. paying in cash too.

Just made a trip to Miami and back. Took TR. Better road and relaxing.
Was with just the Toad.

I hate toll roads and avoid using them when ever possible. My fuel tax already paid for the road. Nothing but a 'cash cow' for the state.
would rather drive 50 miles around than use a toll road.

A little more info.
It looks like the only toll areas I'll be hitting are in IL and IOWA. I'm using the Trip planner from Good Sam Club website which has the option of no toll or toll route.

to avoid tolls in IOWA and IL it say go down 35 all the way from Minneapolis to Des Moines -->80 East to 74S around Peoria, IL, then south on 155/55 to St.Louis -64S to 24 to Nashville

When not avoiding Tolls its telling me go south thru Rochester MN on 52 to 63 to Cedar Rapids IOWA south on 218 basically to St. Louis.then 64 E to 24 South to Nashville.

After nashville both routes appear to be the same minus a small spot in Atlanta

Since we are doing a smokey mountain tour on the way home it has us going all the way to chicago thru wisconson for the toll route and going back through Iowa via 80W and 35N for the no toll route.

Anyone done these routes? is there better trip planning tools online?

Wow, no way no how I would go to Disney World FL over the Desert Southwest and Zion. You just could not pay me enough to stand in long lines with major crowds. Best of Luck to you.

Its now or never! free ticket dont come along EVER and with another on the way in Sept it aint getting cheaper. Neat little trick about the long lines, because my wife will be pregnant (3 months) we get a fast pass to the front of all lines due to her special needs (granted she wont be doing any roller coasters). My wife and I have never been to Disney world and have always wanted to since we were poor children, but the biggest reason is my little girl is 6 years old. So it will still be magical for her. ;)

I hear ya ZION NP will be awesome....next year.
