Long-time Orlando travel writers and authors Simon and Susan Veness have a new guidebook on the market for 2026 and 2027, picking up the reins from where they left with the long-running Brit Guide to Orlando in 2024.
The Best Orlando Villa Holiday Guide is a feature-packed 343-page guide to all Orlando’s theme parks, attractions, dining and nightlife, specifically aimed at the UK market and featuring a special focus on vacation villa accommodations, which have particular appeal to British visitors.
The new book, published by first-time publishers Dilemma, is effectively the continuation of Simon and Susan’s 30-year guidebook career after the Brit Guide ceased publishing in 2025, and contains much of the user-friendly and extensive content that made their work essential reading for all UK tourists, both first-timers and veteran holidaymakers alike.
From the minute British visitors set foot in The City Beautiful, the Best Orlando Villa Holiday Guide steers them through the arrivals process, the rental car experience and the increasingly wide choice for villa accommodations. It features chapters on travel insurance, money matters, and ESTA and visa regulations, as well as grocery shopping, all packaged in a sharp and colourful volume that is both eye-catching and informative.
The bulk of the content is still focused on the theme parks and other attractions, though, with 140 pages dedicated to all the excitement of Disney, Universal, SeaWorld, LEGOLAND, and the Kennedy Space Center, plus day trips from Orlando, the best beaches to visit, golf and other sporting activities, and that British essential, shopping. Dining out, Florida wildlife and medical assistance also have their own chapters, making for an extensive and comprehensive view of a holiday in this non-stop Central Florida destination.
Founding author Simon Veness says: “We are delighted to be back in the forefront of helping British visitors plan for and get full value for their Orlando holidays. It has been our privilege for the past 30 years to be the essential good companion for our UK families, and we think the new book will pick up where the Brit Guide left off and be that all-important asset to ensure people have a wonderful holiday.”
The Best Orlando Villa Holiday Guide is available online from Amazon.co.uk, Waterstones, WH Smith and other UK book-sellers at £19.99.
