About the author

Susan Veness is an international travel writer, solo author of The Hidden Magic of Walt Disney World (now in its third edition), Walt Disney World Hacks, and Hidden Magic of Walt Disney World Trivia, plus the co-author of The Hidden Magic Planner and the Brit Guide travel book series. She was among the first visitors to Walt Disney World in 1971 and has maintained a keen interest in Orlando and the theme parks ever since. Her eye for detail led her to become a contributor to a major Disney website and discussion forum, which she then parlayed into a job with the Brit Guide travel series as principal research assistant on their Orlando title in 2001. She now contributes to a wide range of sources, from the Internet to magazines, including online content as an Orlando expert for Attraction Tickets Direct, Orlando Attractions magazine and (jointly) for BBC America online, The Telegraph online and the Mail on Sunday newspaper in the United Kingdom. Her ambition is to spend a year touring Europe and then, possibly, to get some sleep.

Orlando is a great city that offers visitors tons of things to do. Leaving Universal Studios and Disney World on the side for a bit, Orlando has sites that are intriguing from a historical and artistic perspective. With that said, I think Orlando deserved a better book than what was shown here. Starting with the writing itself, the words were not attention-grabbing. The whole book read like a manual. I lost interest halfway through. I listed the only places that actually grabbed my attention from the book below:

1. Casa Feliz
2. Cathedral Church of St. Luke
3. The Citrus Tower
4. Mather’s Social Gathering
5. Morse Museum
6. Oviedo Ghost Lights
7. Rogers Kiene Building

If these are the only Orlando sites that also caught your attention, you’re welcome ☺️

This is a beautiful book - each place is two pages with short, informed narrative, directions and the most wonderful photographs. I thoroughly enjoyed it & have a few places on my list for my next visit. Quality of the book is exceptional - one to keep.
