Orlando = Brit Guide = Essential, 3 April 2005
Since my second visit to Orlando I have always bought these guides. How I wish I had discovered them for my first trip. The guide is filled full of valuable tips and information which I have followed each time I go over there, and is suitable for the first timers as well as those fortunate to be able to go again. It is written in such a way that makes it very easy to read and take in the facts, with a slap of humour thrown in every now and again. We all laughed at the author's description of two daring slides in one of the water parks that the author didn't dare go on. I consider the book to be an essential bit of kit for my holidays in Orlando. Preordered this book way back in August 2004, when we booked this year's holiday and had to wait right till the end of the year for it to be published - agony! Well worth the wait though. It covers all these areas: info on Orlando such as climate, visas, etc; how to plan your holiday, what to wear, health matters, etc; driving and car hire; accommodation; Disney theme parks; Universal theme parks; Sea World; Discovery Cove; Busch Gardens; other attractions in the area, lots of other places to go to not just theme parks; venturing further afield; nightlife; dining out; shopping; going home. AND ALSO an example holiday planner with the theme park's busy day guide. Now this guide alone I would pay £10 for it is invaluable. It lists the quietest days to go which makes a big difference when visiting these parks. It is so important to plan your holiday to Orlando carefully, use this book to work out your itinery, then use the tips on how to get around each park. I cannot stress the need enough to be fully prepared for your holiday here by using this book. However, if you find it difficult to make up an itinery yourself - the author will do one for you too. There is a link in the book telling you how to order one from him and if you buy the book you only pay £10 instead of £25 which is an added benefit. This isn't some stuffy guidebook, it is like listening to a friend tell you about his experiences of Orlando which is why it makes this the best book you can buy. Believe me I have looked at other guidebooks and nothing compares to this one. Buy it!
