Toll fees are a hidden cost that most people overlook when driving to Disney World. Tolls in Florida are typically $2.50 per car and the average trip takes about 45 minutes and there are a few tolls pass through along the way. Depending on the route you take, the toll fees could add up to $15.
I’m a cheapskate who would rather avoid the tolls and spend the $15 dollars at Disney World instead!
In this article, I break down how to avoid paying for these costly road tolls when driving to Disney World.

Both routes have cash lanes on the main line. * Prices seem to constantly go up on the toll roads so plan accordingly. The cfxway site never seems to have accurate pricing.
