Excited about Disney

It is relatively easy. There are some things I found a little interesting im just back. First one is there are a lot of roadworks at the moment while you dont need to take diversions it just something to note. The second is Americans are a tad more aggressive in changing lanes and indicators are in rare use. If there is a gap to get in they will take it. Going from the airport to our hotel it was only 4 or 5 turns. We stayed at Cabana Bay and going from Cabana Bay to Disney was only a couple of turns. You are mostly on freeways so is very simple. Road signs are very clear. Again Disney has a fair amount of roadworks as well just something to know. Also my car had carplay in it which made it even easier so if you have iphone that may be an option as well. You will do fine and it was easy driving over there.

In the rush period on say the I4 it's pretty manic, and like over here if you don't assert yourself they will weave and jump in front.
The US was once a place of low limits, for fuel conservation I believe, but those limits have risen and ours have fallen. We also have a lot more revenue generating cameras on clear visibility straight roads, or so it seems. I would say I now drive more aggressively there than I do here and certainly faster. The only issue for me is reacting to people drifting when they text. You can predict most moves even when indicators are not used, but texting and its effect cannot be predicted |

We have all had that sense of nervousness when thinking about driving in florida for the first time so you are not alone. All I can say is you will get the hang of it all so very quickly. Like other posts I now much prefer to drive out here than I do in the uk. Big lanes, lots of space, more sensible speed, good signs. You will be fine - honestly !
