About the author

Sports and travel writer Simon has been in the journalism business since 1981 and was the original founder of the Brit Guide travel book series with UK publishers Foulsham in the mid-1990s. He quickly discovered sport and travel were good companions as he developed the Brit's Guide series in tandem with his specialty for American sports coverage with several British newspapers. His acclaimed freelance writing has grown to include a huge variety of outlets, from major British newspapers The Sun, Mail on Sunday, Daily Express, The Telegraph and The Independent to specialty publications like RCI Holiday, Essentially America and World of Cruising magazine (which he also edited from 1999-2014). He has featured on BBC TV's Holiday programme, various UK regional radio stations, and Fox 35 TV in Orlando, while he also writes the View From America column for SkySports.com. Other outlets include the Internet, web pages for the likes of Attraction Tickets Direct and Orlando Attractions magazine. Simon has also partnered with wife Susan on various writing projects, and their travels together continue to provide a rich source of inspiration for articles and books. A committed and lifelong devotee of travel in all its forms, Simon is never happier than when detailing his observations and thoughts, and his one big ambition is to tour the vast and inhospitable tracts of Antarctica. As final proof of the perfect compatability of travel and sport, Simon's formative years were spent in Southern Africa, where his family lived for seven years, and he was national junior tennis champion in 1975 and '76 - in Botswana!

Reviews

[Sophie Crane · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is an absolute must for anyone visiting WDW for the first time. The plethora of information coupled with practical time saving tips are worth the cost of the book alone.
Buy it at least 6 weeks prior to departure, read it, decide where you want to visit and in which order, discuss it with your kids, and then decide all over again.
The most highly recommended book I've read this year, lets face it, you spend a fortune on a foreign family holiday, spend this little extra to ensure you fully enjoy all that Orlando and WDW can offer.
