For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Depends what type of florida holiday you are going for. If you are doing the Disney Parks, get there early and go to the big rides first, then get fast passes to as many rides as you can. This cuts down on the queueing time.
You can swap and change parks through the day and use the free buses and monorail to change parks.
A fabulous book to buy is the "Brits Guide to Florida" it is packed full of useful information on each park and gives some really useful tips - like if there are two queues to join for a ride, always queue on the left it moves faster -- I tried it last year and it works!!!
If you are not doing the parks the book has lots of ideas for off the beaten track days out.
Food - The Ponderosa and Golden Corral restaurants are great for the all you can eat breakfasts for about $4.00 per head. They keep you going all day!
Drink - If its really hot you will get fed up drinking fizzy drinks - take a water bottle with you, and you can fill it up for free from the water fountains. The water tastes different from ours but you get used to it!!
Have a great time

I'd recommend the Brit guide book too. very, very useful.
another thing with the disney parks - the park photographers. When they take your picture as you're meeting the characters etc, they give you a small card with a barcode on it (to track the digital picture they've taken).
Don't think 'won't buy it anyway' and throw it away. Keep the 1st card you get. After that everytime they take a picture, you can give them that card, and your pics will be added to it.
You can view them in any disney park on the monitors in the shops, or wait until you get back to the UK. You get 30 days+ to view your pics online, and can then order any you like. Postage to the UK is only around $5-10.
I managed to take some nice pics myself, but you'll get some very good group ones from the Disney photographers, and in the waterparks it's much better than risking your camera getting a soaking.
hope that makes sense. The Photo Albums they can produce for you are excellent.
