Some USEFUL advice I have written about the Orlando Visitor Toll Pass in recent posts Orlando Sunshine Pass and Orlando Airport – Visitor Toll Pass that allow UK (and any overseas visitors) to use the Florida toll system like a local. For some reason the Visitor Toll Pass is only available from ORLANDO (MCO) but you should consider using it. More about that later though. … Continue reading Using Orlando Airport (MCO) from UK
I am all checked in for my Virgin Atlantic flight tomorrow. Flying on a Saturday is quite unusual for me as there was always a supplement to pay but this flight and accommodation for 7 nights has been a real bargain. I have downloaded the Orlando Airport Visitor Toll Pass App and have to go the vending machine in any of terminals A, B or … Continue reading Orlando Airport – Visitor Toll Pass
I can’t quite believe this but I will be arriving in Orlando on 4th July just in time to see some special firework display or displays to celebrate with America on her 250th birthday. This is a completely unscheduled break and another Virgin Holiday bargain that I discovered so close to this special celebration. I land at approximately 18:00 and flying into Orlando (MCO) for … Continue reading Experiencing July 4th in Orlando: A Magical Independence Day
Unless you are in a Walt Disneyworld Hotel So I was taken aback when I read that come 28 June 2026 this experience will no longer be available unless you have Walt Disneyworld hotel accommodation or a dinner reservation at a Walt Disneyworld resort hotel. It seems that this loophole had been closed when the area was at it’s busiest and now the decision has … Continue reading Explore Disney World: Free Transportation Ends 2026
Rapidly gaining the title of the most visited attractions in the Tampa area you must visit next time you are on the Gulf Coast in Florida. The unimaginative title of ‘The Tampa Electric Company’ doesn’t sound like somewhere you would want to make part of your vacation time. During the winter months Florida is famed for the migration of ‘Snow Birds’ from the bitter winters … Continue reading Florida – See the Manatees at Tampa Electric Company
Free Disney Parking as well On our recent visit to Celebration we tried something new and discovered free transportation and free parking care of Disney. We were staying 20 minutes maximum away from Walt Disney World and after a committee meeting agreed that we weren’t going to go to the parks due to the extortionate pricing. To purchase tickets we literally have to purchase either … Continue reading Walt Disney World – Explore for FREE!
Without being inside the Magic Kingdom or Epcot Whilst gorging on Winter Sun last week in Kissimmee the January high broke all Florida records and also the lowest temperature for the state in the same period it was a superb week from the gloom of British winter. Our accommodation was on the 8th floor of the Delta by Marriott in Celebration bang in between Main … Continue reading Walt Disney World – See the Fireworks for FREE
I am back on my travels and having to take advantage of using up my annual accrued leave. Virgin Atlantic Holidays came up trumps for the second time in three months and we are going to stay in Celebration between the Main Gates of East and West to the Walt Disney World. The weather will be reasonably warmer than the UK and heating our bones … Continue reading Florida – Manatee Viewing
Florida Rollercoaster Rider Didn’t! ‘For the People!’ is a caption that t.v viewers in Florida are all too familiar with. It seems that almost every advert break (and there are many) on t.v has individuals telling you that they received large payouts after hiring one particular legal firm who started in 1988 in Orlando. Billboards hugging the scenery with the firms advertising are everywhere so … Continue reading Duck!
