I would prefer a physical copy but if the kindle copy is correct then I will get that in the mean time.

Do you know if the copy is correct?

Thanks

OK, we have now been able to track this down online, thanks to Stu, and, yes, we can confirm this is the full 2021 update, with all the (inevitable) mentions of the pandemic and the many things that have changed. We ARE hoping that many things will be back to normal by next summer, though

I can't tell you how bummed we are to hear this (as we have heard it over and over again) We have pretty much spent the whole year NOT seeing family and friends this year and it has become such a recurring theme, we cannot wait for 2021 and a time when we can get back to something approximating normal.

I have this vision of you turning up at MCO welcoming back the first flights from the UK with a big banner (and a pile of books to sell if people still can't get hold of them!).

That might just be the best idea of the year so far!

And, books aside, we could well see if we can persuade the airport to do some sort of welcoming committee when flights resume again. It's a great thought

In recent weeks, the crowds have been back (although you have to remember the parks are still at only around 35% capacity), and it has felt more seasonal.

Having said all that, with no international visitors here, it's a moot point anyway. We think (hope!) 2021 will feel back to normal for the most part.

PS: WDW is only 1 chapter in 13 in the Brit Guide

We will have everything VERY firmly crossed for you, and thousands of others, jas

In the absence of the 2021 version I have just ordered the 2020 version! First ever Brit Guide purchase, will look forward to perusing over a glass or two this festive period!

We hope you enjoy it. If nothing else, it should make you nostalgic for Orlando pre-pandemic!

Thanks Simon. We've been a few times now but never read the guide. Lots still to discover!

Hopefully you'll find a lot that you haven't come across before. And, if there's one thing we would highlight for those who have been multiple times but want something different, it's the Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive: sjrwmd/lands/recreat...ildlife-drive/

It's about a 20-minute drive north of Disney and a (free) journey into the REAL Florida! (Albeit, it's only open Fri-Sun each week)

Combine it with a visit to Winter Garden (and the fab Crooked Can Brewery!) on a Saturday, and you have a really lively day out
