I did my first round trip today. Southbound to Orlando was at about 3:30 PM. The sign on the turnpike indicated a 15 minute delay but it turned out to be more like 6 or 7 - not too bad. On the return trip about 5:30 - 6 PM I expected a lot more trouble since it was rush hour. Again the sign said 15 minute delays but I would say the delay was no more than a minute.

Based on today's experience, I plan to take the turnpike again for tomorrow's run to the airport.
