Afternoon all,

New member here going to Florida in June ( 1st time crossing the big pond).

Staying 3 weeks, 2 weeks orlando in Villa & 1 week in New Port Richey ( chill out week)in Villa.

Apreciate if anybody can answer my Q's Below?.( guess they have been asked many times before so Thanks in advance)

1)New port Richey does not seem to have a great write up on other sites, what are the best beaches or attractions in this area?.

2)Plan of attack on the parks?, looks quite daunting, especially with the age range of the kids we are taking (1-10). any advise would be welcome.

3)Visa, is this required by all ?, or group ?,or only if you have a Criminal record in UK?. How do you apply?.

Again thankyou for any feedback.

Kind Regards

Andy

Hi Andy,
Welcome to the forum. You will find loads of info on here.
Afraid I cannot help you with new Port Richey.
Yes, you do need careful planning at the parks. They can bee very tiring, especially with youngsters. Many visitors pop back to their villa in early afternoon for a cool off and bite to eat then back to the park. Your family will choose which parks to visit so when you first enter the park you will receive a map and timetable of events. Spend a few minutes studying the map and plan your day.
The airline carrier will give each of you a green visa waiver card to fill in (get 2 or 3 spare ones)which yo then hand to the immigration officer when you land. You will also be given a customs declaration form to hand in at customs. One of these forms is sufficient for all family members.

Have a great vacation.

Welcome to the forums Andy.

When we visited Florida for the first time I got park maps from friends, that way we knew exactly what we wanted to do before we got there. You can get these for a few pennies on ebay all the time.

You will have such a wonderful time.
