Before arriving in Orlando buy a Guide to Disney and other attractions book. We can recommend Fodors' Guide.

USE YOUR FAST PASSES AT THE ATTRACTIONS!

Arrive early! Park in the valet or privilege parking area. This does not cost much more but you will be much nearer the gate.

Upgrade to unlimited fast pass - if you arrive early you will be able to pay to upgrade to an unlimited fast pass which will allow you to walk straight onto any of the rides at any time. Limited numbers are issued each day so make sure you are there early.

Popular rides first - Walk right to the back of the park when you first arrive. It will be empty and you will be able to walk on everything without queueing before most people arrive. Plan which rides you want to go on using Fodors Guide, before you arrive.

New Passport

* After 26 October 2004, all children travelling to America will need to have their own passports - any child trying to holiday in the US on their parents' passport after the Autumn deadline will be refused entry.

* After 26 October 2005 travellers without a machine-readable passport will no longer qualify for the US Visa Waiver Programme. They will need to obtain a visa from the American Embassy in London to enter the US.

* The UK Passport Office expects to introduce biometric passports in the summer of 2005. By 26 October 2005 - a year later than initially planned - all travellers whose current passport is not machine-readable will have to replace it with one of the new biometric passports for entry into the US.

"Just a quick hello and to say thank, we returned from Florida last Thursday and without a doubt this was the best holiday I have ever had. So good, I cant wait until the flights are released so that I can arrange for next year. The girls loved the pool, and if it wasn't for us dragging them out I don't think we would have ventured out of Southern Dunes."
