Nobody knows and no hint of it yet. Fingers crossed it will be though.

I've just tried to do a dummy booking to see if any message came up. Sadly you can't select a pick up day beyond 30 July.

Maybe there's a few Dibbers who go regularly in August (not us I'm afraid) will give it a try and report back.

We used it in December and thought it was a first class idea. Cheaper than any other system. Our tag did not register on exit from the Alamo garage and we received an email an hour later. Rang them ( locall call) and they added the car reg. Plate number and sorted out the three tolls we had passed. No problem at all. Hoping the system is still active in September.

Complete newbie here so have a few questions.

Once you have left MCO and displayed the tag ect which toll lane do we use do we need to stop or is their lane you just drive through (like the sun pass lane).

Sorry if that sounds silly it’s our first time in Florida so no idea how the tolls work.

This is the first toll plaza that you'll see if leaving MCO on the 417 south.

As Ben says, in theory you can drive through any lane without stopping although the obvious ones are the two on the left where you just drive through as there's no kiosks

If you leave the 417 at j2 for Celebration Avenue just drive through again. This is is unmanned for anyone paying cash.

Leaving the 417 at j3 Osceola is similar and unmanned

Can anyone tell me how much that toll charge currently is at J2, as per Mick's helpful photo above?

One whole dollar in April 2019. We used four quarters.

J3 on to the Osceola only cost us 52 cents on VTP in November though and that's usually a dollar in cash

Thanks Mick, helpful as ever. I shall just have to suck up either the Alamo charge or cash payments as am committed to arriving at Sanford airport and there's no hope of the scheme being extended to there with TUI moving operations to Melbourne.

Haven't flown into SFB since 2008 when TCD went bust but we always used the 417 down to the Highgate Park area. Maybe half a dozen tolls the whole way but I'm 95% sure that the first near Lake Jesup is manned and you can change a $20 bill there and use cash all the way if you want.

Very few "cashless" tolls in Florida but most plazas on the on/off ramps are unmanned.

Here they are
