Brits Guide To Orlando

About Mr Brit's Guide...

Hi, I am Mr Brit and I holiday in one destination only - Orlando in Florida. I have written and independently publish what I and many readers consider to be the best Brits Guide To Orlando available.

This guide is an 'everything you need to know' style covering Walt Disney World and all of the other tourist attractions of Orlando. This guide is a very detailed planning and savings guide covering all aspects of your holiday planning.

Mr Brits Guide To Orlando doesn't just cover Walt Disney World and the other main attractions, it also covers in detail - Dinner Shows, restaurants and even American fast food chains that you may not be aware of. Mr Brits Guide To Orlando reviews all of Orlando's theme park rides and shows in detail. Mr Brits Guide To Orlando will also learn you that not every theme park or dinner show in Orlando will suit your specific family and choosing the right places to visit could make or break your holiday. Mr Brits Guide To Orlando also tells you how you could save hundreds of pounds on your Orlando tickets and meals.

Buying tickets for an Orlando theme park from a ticket company based in the UK is always going to cost you a lot more than buying it somewhere else in the world as we all know, we live in rip-off Britain where everything costs more no matter what the exchange rate is doing. Buying from my recommended ticket company that we use in the USA could save you up to a thousand pounds depending on the size of your family.

Please take a few minutes to read below and also check out the full Contents Page of the guide and you will see how detailed this Mr Brit's Guide To Orlando really is...

Mr Brits Guide to Orlando 2009 contains all Theme Park Maps of Orlando and the popular Busch Gardens in Tampa.

This best selling CD guide contains 14 large maps for you to view or print including all of the Walt Disney World theme park maps, Universal Studios, Islands Of Adventure, Seaworld, Aquatica and more. Planning the holiday is great fun and by having all of these maps to hand during your holiday planning stage, you will have an advantage over the crowds before you even reach the theme parks.

..... everything Brits need to know is in the 'Mr Brits Guide To Orlando' .....

Mr Brit's 5 Star Ratings. Orlando's theme park rides and shows reviewed in great detail and accompanied by a Mr Brit Rating

If you had only 1 day in a theme park. This feature is great for visitors planning to spend only one day in a specific theme park. Entry can be very expensive, especially with the weak Pound so my guide will tell you what should be at the top of your list and what deserves to be at the bottom of your list so you get as much value as possible from your theme park tickets

Which theme parks and dinner shows are you going to visit on your dream holiday to Orlando? there are so many to choose from. You could do what we did on our last holiday (for research purposes) and visit ...

... Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, Epcot, Universal Studios, Islands Of Adventure, Busch Gardens, Seaworld, Aquatica, Kennedy Space Centre, Wet 'n' Wild, Cypress Gardens, Cocoa Beach, Sleuths Mystery Dinner Show, Arabian Nights, Medieval Times and Pirates Dinner...

... but I wouldn't recommend it. It would set you back a fortune (even with my money saving tips for attraction tickets) and you would also need a holiday when you arrived back in the UK. My Mr Brits Guide To Orlando will help you choose the right parks to visit and the best shows to see. I have visited all of these attractions on numerous occasions and I want to help you spend your time and your money wisely.

Experience is a great thing but it could cost you a fortune!

'One for the album' Great photo opportunities will be easier to find in the Orlando theme parks with the Mr Brit's "one for the album" feature.

This icon pops up many times throughout the guide to let you know about a great photo opportunity for that Dream Holiday album.

A Thumbs Up (and there are many) is Mr Brit's way of telling you a "cheat" or a good bit of advice that you need to know. This icon appears commonly throughout this great guide, alerting you to Top Tips and some Must Do's in the Orlando theme parks

A Thumbs Down is the opposite. There are a few not so nice things about Orlando (not many, but a few) and Mr Brit will let you know what they are and how to avoid terrible rides and shows or even being scammed by dodgy locals

Getting Around!!! is Mr Brit's guide to car hire, driving on the wrong side of the road and the public transport in Orlando.

There is also a handy GPS Drivers Guide that lists addresses and phone numbers of over a hundred Orlando 'places of interest' such as theme parks, restaurants, shopping malls, supermarkets, hospitals, British pubs etc.

Another bonus included for owners of a TomTom GPS system is a folder with POI's of all of the Orlando's main attractions

Shop 'til you drop!!! is Mr Brits guide to shopping in central Florida. This section lists and describes all of the most popular shopping malls and stores in Orlando. Customs allowances and advice is also featured in this great section of the guide

The Planning section of the guide covers many, many things and here are just a few...

when are the best times to book your holiday, how to save BIG money on your next holiday booking, how to plan your theme park visits so you don't over-buy theme park tickets, which parks are right for your childrens ages, what to do on a rainy day..... the list goes on

This guide will also tell you about the the NEW 2009 USA travel rules and what you need to know before you close your front door and head for the holiday of a lifetime. There are many great tips in the guide to help you make the most out of your holiday such as: how to avoid the busy times at the theme parks, currency - how and when to buy cheaply and how to avoid currency conversion charges from your bank. The Pound is at its weakest for a long time so this section will help you plan wisely and hopefully get a little bit more for your money.

Orlando At Night is the section of the guide that is devoted to the over 21's. Great tips on where to drink and boogie or even take in a world class show. Some of the best shows in the world are right on your doorstep in Orlando and Mr Brit covers many of them in this unique style of travel guide

Tickets Please!!! is the section that covers all of the best ways to buy your theme park and dinner show tickets.

Mr Brit's top recommended ticket seller is the cheapest Orlando ticket company out there and here are just a few comparisons against one of the largest UK ticket seller prices:

Examples are calculated at the rate of £1 = $1.45 (and not £1 = $2) so if the UK rate is currently better than this, you will pay a lot less

7 real days in Disney World Theme Parks (the 4 main parks and not the cheaper water parks and DisneyQuest) will cost you £219 from a top UK ticket company. Mr Brit's recommended ticket seller will sell you a 10 day Walt Disney World Theme Park ticket for just £157. Please remember that this price is for the main 4 theme parks of Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Epcot & Animal Kingdom. This ticket used to cost only £110 not so long ago but with the poor exchange rate, all American theme park tickets have soared in cost.

This reputable ticket company also sells tickets for both Universal Studios theme parks, all Orlando dinner shows, Aquatica & Seaworld etc etc

As a family we buy the top-of-the-range Disney tickets from this same company and this enables us to get our daily no-expiry Disney visits down to just under $30 a day per adult. This price is for no-expiry hopping between the 4 main theme parks 10 times. The ticket also gives you access to the 2 water parks and DisneyQuest upto 6 times.

This type of ticket is perfect for visiting Orlando on multiple holidays and it does cost more but if you are going to Orlando for the first time, you will be going back again and that is guaranteed especially when you read in my guide how to pay a lot less for your next holiday booking.

This Orlando guide isn't just a great money saving guide, more importantly it will learn you how to safely buy your tickets...

Imagine this scenario:

...you're having a great time, the flight was effortless, your hotel is beautiful and the sun is shining so what can go wrong. The next day you wake up, cruise down to Walt Disney World in your luxury rental car and get refused entry because the second hand tickets you bought back in the UK have already been used by someone else!.

You may have paid a few thousand pounds for this holiday and it could be ruined by trying to save a few quid before you left. Mr Brits Guide To Orlando 2009 will tell you everything you need to know about theme park tickets and also where you can buy tickets at the best prices and most importantly - securely

Child Safety Slips & Cast Member Appreciation Certificates you can print out these 2 great slips straight from your home printer.

Child Safety Slips are great to place in your 'little ones' pockets in case your worse nightmare happens and you lose your child in a theme park. You write your mobile number on the slip and the theme park staff will call you as soon as they find your lost child

Cast Member Appreciation Certificates are a great way of saying a 'BIG THANK YOU' to the staff at Walt Disney World theme parks. Disney's staff (Cast Members) are the best around and they take great enjoyment in making sure you have the best holiday possible. This small printable certificate is a great way of thanking your favourite Cast Members and you never know... you may even receive a free Disney gift in return.

Credit Crunch WARNINGS Due to the current economic climate around the world, Mr Brits Guide To Orlando has been updated with a new section warning you about some of the risks of booking villas and tickets for an Orlando holiday complete with tips to help you avoid losing money.

There is a real risk of British families losing money on holiday bookings, ticket purchases, flights and villa bookings in Orlando due to the Credit Crunch. Mr Brits Guide To Orlando will give you tips on how to reduce the risk of losing your holiday money to the Credit Crunch. The Credit Crunch could affect every aspect of your holiday and I have written this new section to help you arm yourself against these growing problems. Orlando businesses and rental homes are having their toughest time in history and when companies go bust, your money goes with them.

Here is one example: if you have paid to hire a villa and the home is reposessed by the bank before you take your holiday (over 50,000 Florida homes reposessed in September alone), you will lose your holiday slot and your money. This new section will help you plan your holiday with the Credit Crunch as your number 1 concern and it should be

Here are some readers comments:

"Thanks for all of the information, the speed it was delivered and the content were both impressive, Although we have previously visited the Caribbean and the USA this will be our first trip to Florida but I already know that just by reading your guide we have gained years of experience and knowledge.

It was money well spent, you have already saved us the cost of a theme ticket before we set off and I know that with your guide packed in our hand luggage we are going to be ready to start saving from the moment we arrive".

Hello Mr Brit,

I would just like to say 'thank you' for your wonderful 2009 Orlando guide! It is just what I needed and far better than any book I could have bought. The DVDs you get from Disney and Flexticket are a tad 'sugary sweet' so your guide was a welcome relief. I have heard lots of great things about Sleuths so will definitely visit the show!

I have been to Orlando but not for a long time, so I am really excited (not as excited as my other half, who has never been before!). I have been nominated to drive when we land @ Sanford, which I was really worried about, but your map has given me so much more confidence!
Thanks very much for the guide.....
Best Wishes

Hi Francis

I have spent £ and £'s on 'other' guides to Orlando and Theme Parks. Yours is the best ive read. Your information is clear and easy to understand, its like having someone sitting with you, explaining where to go. I love the lists of places to eat, ( kids eat free ). I have twin boys of 5 and travelling to Orlando is never easy.

I wish i had your guide on my last two trips - i WOULD HAVE SAVED A FORTUNE !

Your advice on how to get the best deal buying Disney and Universal tickets is great and how to save time when queue-ing with young children. I can see you've put a massive amount of time and effort into this guide, thank you so much !! "

"...best money we've spent towards a holiday. This is much better than a book and we didn't realise half of what would be in the guide so it got better and better as we read. Some of your comments in the theme park reviews made us giggle and this made the guide even harder to stop reading.

Thanks a lot for contacting us about the new feature you added after we bought the guide, the breaking news section saved us around £110 and we loved the guide anyway.

We are travelling to Orlando in about 6 weeks but if we ever travel again we will be looking to buy another copy if you release any more
