π¬π§βοΈπΊπΈ BRIT TRAVEL TIPS β PART 4
Little things that can make a BIG difference on your Florida holiday! π΄βοΈ
Weβve welcomed British guests to Florida for over 12 years, and these are some of those handy tips you might not think about until youβre here! π
π 1. Bring a UK Extension Lead
Instead of buying lots of US travel adapters, bring a UK extension lead and plug it into one good-quality US adapter. You can then charge several UK devices together.
β οΈ Remember: an adapter changes the plug shape, not the voltage β always check your appliance says 100β240V before plugging it in.
π 2. Know Where You Parked!
Florida theme-park car parks are HUGE! Before walking away from your hire car, take a quick photo of the row/section sign or drop a pin on your phone. After a long Disney day, youβll be very glad you did! π
π³ 3. When Paying by Card, Choose DOLLARS
If a card machine gives you the choice between paying in GBP (Β£) or USD ($), choosing USD will usually let your own bank/card provider handle the conversion rather than accepting the retailerβs exchange rate. Check whether your card charges foreign transaction fees too.
βοΈ 4. Donβt Let a Florida Downpour Fool You!
That blue sky can turn into a tropical downpour very quickly β especially in summer! Pack a small poncho or lightweight rain jacket in your park bag. The good news? Florida rain can disappear almost as quickly as it arrives! βοΈ
