Question about toll roads between MCO and WDW
I tried searching using several different keywords and didn't find anything, but I apologize if this question has been answered (recently) somewhere else.
Anyway, we are arriving at MCO Saturday afternoon and already have a rental car reserved. In the past, I have always just brought a roll of quarters and a handful of $1 bills to cover the toll roads. However, I keep seeing references to electronic only toll roads and horror stories from people getting huge bills from rental car companies after the fact for toll violations. I opted out of the rental car company's generous offer to give me a toll pass for $10-15 per day (mostly because once we arrive, we don't leave the property until we go back to the airport and it seemed silly to spend $75-100 when we only really need toll coverage 1 time.
Can someone confirm for me (from a very recent trip) whether I can still use cash to cover the toll roads between MCO and WDW?
I appreciate any help anyone can provide.

I went in June, so I'm not sure if this is recent enough for you. But the electronic toll roads were optional. There are still traditional toll...people? taking exchange change only. :) Just make sure you get into the proper lanes! Also, I believe there were two tolls we had to pass to get to our hotel. The second one was literally just before our exit.

Hi Grayman,
Take a look at this link to the Florida tollway authority. It answered my questions and most everything still remains the same as previous visits.

Re: Question about toll roads between MCO and WDW
Thank you both. I have a sneaking suspicion that most of the general confusion comes from the warning on the bottom of the linked page that discusses e-tolls only in Miami-Dade County. To someone like me, the initial list of interchanges is gibberish and it makes me nervous. Glad to know I should be ok.
