I'm so sorry! I had a reply from George Woody a couple of days ago and I've just paid for it today.
Could you try calling them and discussing it over the phone? Use Skype or something if you can as the calls can be costly x ETA I think you can also apply and collect at the office in Orlando but no idea how long this process takes or if you will have time to do it when you're there x

I’ve just managed to get it sorted out! I still hadn’t heard anything so I used the contact form on the website. Again. This time I got an email straight away asking for the form and supporting proof again. They also said they’d send it to my friend in Celebration as there was no way it was getting here in time. I’ve just called and paid for it and it should be with her by the time my friend needs it to collect me from the airport!

Do you have to apply to the County where your home is or can I use Orange County as linked above. Home is in Osceola

Yes, as it's a Fl disability placard you can utilise Orange County online application. My brother owns in Lee County, applying via Orange he avoids queues in the Cape Coral office. He applies 3 weeks pre-travel and receives his placard at his UK home.
Osceola stopped accepting online applications in 2016.

Hi folks.
I enquired about disabled parking and the email I got back seems to suggest that Florida recognises the UK blue badge without need for a temporary parking tag. Email below. Good afternoon, Florida recognizes parking permits displaying the international symbol of accessibility that has been issued by any foreign country. You can use your out of country placard and are not required to purchase a temporary placard here. If you are still wanting to purchase a US Temporary Parking Placard, you will need to be in possession of one from your home country. Please complete the attached form in the top section only to include your name, signature, travel dates (add under certifying physician), and complete permanent home address (we cannot accept a vacation address as we will mail your documents to your permanent address). We also require a copy of the applicant's passport and blue card (front & back) or disabled parking permit. Upon receipt of your documents a processing fee will be assessed in the amount of $17.00 US Dollars, and we will then email you a US telephone number where you can make payment. Please email your documents to the email address below. Please do not email us your documents prior to 60 days before your travel date. |

Ignore that...in the parks you may be fine but outside there you may have a problem. Yesterday at Walmart on 27 I saw a visitor arguing the toss about this and they were told to go to nearest tax office and get a temporary badge.
Just get one and be happy you are conforming with the rules

Hi Andy, from my brother/others experiences, a Fl disabled tag may be better. LEOs recognise a Fl placard hanging from the rear view mirror with large internationally recognised wheelchair logo in full view, unlike the harder to view UK blue badge wheelchair logo within a hologram.
Snowbird friend was approached by the island volunteer deputy re her Canadian disability placard as he awaited an official deputy to ticket her vehicle in a disabled bay. After investigations by Lee County Sheriff's Dept staff it was finally agreed she was legally parked. Altho cleared to use her Canadian badge she visited the tax office to acquire a FL disabled tag to avoid a ticket/being towed in other SW Fl areas. As bro said, $17 for a Fl placard also gives peace of mind knowing he won't accidentally leave his UK badge in Fl.
