While it’s technically possible to drive around Florida without paying any tolls with map apps on your phones, this could drastically increase your travel time just driving around. If you avoid tolls from Orlando International Airport to Disney World’s Epcot, it literally doubles what would otherwise have been a 25-minute drive! Just look at the time difference on a regular afternoon from EIR Fun House to Kennedy Space Center:
