Mobile Pay cash or sunpass?

What do people think... arrive at MCO for 14 days hiring via alamo staying on I drive. Planning to go to universal disney seaworld, aquatica etc. How many tolls are there? Would I be better paying cash or just driving through to let the sunpass thing kick in? !
Thanks

You will be around $5 dollars each way in tolls and unlikely to be on any others untill going back to the airport we personally never use a toll pass just use cash gets rid of all the loose change on the way back to the airport as well

Nah you don't need a sunpass. We travelled all over and up to Daytona and only went through a couple. If you have a sat nav you can avoid them too

If you want to pay cash make sure you go to the right to pay the tolls, even if it looks like you're going off the road, your not you're going to the pay booths. Ignore your sat nav if necessary and make sure you have enough change (75c) for the last unmanned toll. Keep well right fir the cash booths. (They have green signs above the lanes).

We bring back $5 in quarters so the next visit I have enough coins for the tolls I just leave them in the hand luggage case until we go back

Staying on I drive I think you only go through 1 toll as you leave the airport I think it's $1.50
