But will the "new" 192 location ever get close to the Haines City one. To be fair only tried 192 once and wouldn't rush back with Longhorn and Texas so close.
Sorry OP for a usual Mick digression.

I agree - original is best. Having said that, we like there being a 192 option for the times (like this next month) where we have no car and are resorting to Uber. Much more convenient.

Sorry but you'll have to explain the phrase "where we have no car". What's Uber?

Yeah, I know. Doesn't happen often but we are a group of 10 at times on this trip so only having a car for the first few days, then using Uber (modern day taxi ) for the odd couple of times we need to get anywhere after that.

Joking apart most of the regular car hirers who contribute to those posts recognise that if you're staying on site for instance (which we never have) and only popping to Walmart and the outlets a couple of times there's absolutely no point in hiring a car especially with parking charges being introduced.

OK, so properly digressing now (sorry OP) but we are DVC owners so don't pay the parking charges. Even so, the car hire prices were so incredibly horrific this year, it was just easier for us to return the car once we get to Disney and don't really need it any more. Ordinarily, we would use the car every day as we don't like to be 'stuck at Disney with no escape' but, in a bigger group, the majority wins out and therefore the car will be redundant for the most part - just not worth the money to keep it and leave it parked up.

We haven't been to the parks since 2010 although we do always visit DS and Boardwalk a couple of times and now we like to explore other bits of Florida. After 35 visits (sorry not stealth boasting ) we hadn't been to either Bok Tower or Leu Gardens until the last two trips. Mick

Sorry i disagree with the first poster Cash tolls are possible on the turnpike, but check out which exits you will use first as some are cashless floridasturnpike/travelerInfo.html

All Turnpike tolls are collected electronically between the U.S. 1 (Exit 1) and County Line Road (Exit 47) interchanges in Miami-Dade County, on the Sawgrass Expressway in Broward County, on a portion of the Veterans Expressway in Hillsborough County, and on the I-4 Connector in Tampa, and cash tolls are not accepted. Motorists will use either SunPass or TOLL‑BY‑PLATE, and everyone will enjoy the benefit of paying their toll without having to stop.
