To Toll or not to Toll

[TCdude]

I got my hands on free 4 days worth of Disney tickets for the family, so plans have changed and we are going to Orlando from Minneapolis, MN using the TC instead of Zion NP :(. Now when I plan my trip I see two routes.

1. With tolls 250+ miles less
or
2. No Tolls- 250+ miles more

Since its about a $80 difference in gas...do I go the toll route as it wont cost as much or go the no toll route to avoid the hassle.

What are all your thoughts? do you normally go out of the way to avoid tolls? What do I need to know about tolls in IL and IOWA?

Thanks for your time!

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.
