This book is an absolute MUST! To go to Florida without this book is to go to Florida without a hope! It is, as mentioned, the "MADDEST" place I have been to so far. (In a good way). Simon's book was stuck to me and thank goodness it existed. Not only does it provide "expert" help in choice/preference/where to go and stay etc, it provides help with things you would normally not consider,like "how much to tip" and "which days of the week are the queues at Busch shorter" etc etc. I must confess though.... I have passed my 2004 book around to friends who have been to Florida since but I have now got it back and suggested they buy their own!
Honestly Simon.... I 'am' getting the 2007 one this year!

Any Brit travelling to Florida for the first time will inevitably find it daunting. We are seasoned travellers, but our first Florida experience was MAD, and it would have been almost impossible without this book! We call 'A Brit's Guide to Orlando and Walt Disney World' our bible, and since our first visit to the sunshine state in 2002, we have had many more, and each time we have taken the Simon Veness book with us. There is a new one published every year with all the 'up to the minute' hints and tips, where to eat, which days are the lightest in the parks, what to beware of... everything to ensure you have as enjoyable a trip as possible. Simon and his wife live minutes from Disney, so have their fingers on the pulse when it comes to the ever changing theme parks. Not only do they cover the popular Disney World resorts and parks, but they cover Universal parks, Busch Gardens, Seaworld (our fave) and other not so well known attractions. Simon Veness's book is probably the best around for the British traveller, as it is directed to us sandal and sock wearing brigade!!
Don't try to visit Orlando without first reading this great guide cover to cover, and then remember to pack it in your suitcase.
