Florida Holiday Planning for UK Families

How to plan your Florida holiday from the UK
Planning a Florida holiday from the UK is genuinely complicated — and anyone who tells you otherwise hasn't done it properly. There's the ESTA, the flights, the hire car, the travel insurance, the theme park tickets, the accommodation, the budget, the exchange rate, the packing list, and about fifty other things to think about before you even get on the plane. I've been doing this for 35 years and I still make lists. This section covers everything you need to plan your Florida holiday from the UK — honestly, practically, and without the waffle. If you're a first-timer or a seasoned Florida regular looking to get more out of your next trip, you're in the right place. If you're looking for the complete Florida planning overview?
