At the very least you’ll need to organise your flight, accommodation, and car rental (if necessary) well in advance.

Doing so will give you peace of mind so that you can focus on the more fun parts of your trip. Popular destination in Florida such as Orlando, Kissimmee, and Miami offer every type of accommodation you could think of. In addition to the typical range of hotels, tourists can have their pick of apartment hotels, timeshares, and special holiday rental homes.
Dress appropriately
Florida is hot! If you’re visiting anytime between April and October, be prepared to sweat. To avoid discomfort, dress in breathable fabrics and avoid wearing heavy clothing. Make sure to protect yourself from the sun by applying plenty of sunscreen, and wearing sunglasses and a hat if you plan on spending a lot of time outdoors. An umbrella will also come in handy if and when thunderstorms pop up. It doesn’t really ever get cold in Florida, even in the winter. If you’re visiting between November and March, your best bet is to dress in layers.
Book tickets in advance

These days most vendors give you the option of purchasing tickets online, so there’s no longer an excuse to buy them at the gate!
