The UK's Best-Selling Travel
The Hidden Magic of Walt Disney World
The perfect companion to any Walt Disney World visit, The Hidden Magic
highlights all the wonderful hidden gems the Imagineers have sprinkled throughout the parks, giving visitors a true insight
into the 'magic' that sets
the Disney parks apart from all others.
 And there's more....our travels over the past year or so have taken us from Alaska (see left) to Arizona, Bowling Green
to Barcelona, and from the tropical Caribbean to the sub-Arctic Canadian border; we have undertaken fun family RV journeys
(see our Blog, here) and glamorous cruises; and we have unearthed a vast treasure-trove of wonderful and offbeat experiences
along the way.
Our travels in 2010 have added the likes of Chilean Patagonia, Santiago and the superb wine region
of the Colchagua Valley, plus a 3,700km journey through the heart of Europe by car, taking in major cities like
Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Munich and Salzburg, fascinating off-the-beaten track villages, like Berchtesgaden and Hitler's
Eagle's Nest (below), and the ultimate heartbreak of Auschwitz-Birkenau in Poland, plus closer-to-home encounters with
the fantastic new Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando. This October, we will also be taking a Fall Foliage
cruise along the St Lawrence Seaway and around New England to see the region's autumn spectacular from a different vantage
point.
But there's always room for more, so stay tuned as we continue our wonderful
world travel journey that never ceases to intrigue and amaze (and you can see some outline reports of our big summer European
trip on the discussion forums of Attraction Tickets Direct, under Trip Reports - here).

Welcome
to the travel writing home of Simon and Susan Veness, a unique combination of Anglo-American insight, ingenuity and innovation
in the wide world of travel media.
We have been well-known for our work with the Brit Guide travel series - specializing in all things to do with Central Florida, Disney, the theme
parks, cruising and Disneyland Paris - for more than 15 years now, but this site is designed to showcase a broader view
of our work, from other books, to the wide variety of newspapers and magazines we write for, and our many online ventures.
First and foremost, we have a unique perspective of our various travels worldwide as we started very much as
Joe Tourist ourselves, holiday-makers with a keen eye for detail who demand value for money in all aspects of a vacation.
Then, with multiple editions of the Brit Guide and other writing behind us (including a wide range of sources on the
Internet), we have built up an amazing rapport with our readers that allows us to key in directly to what they are looking
for and how they view their own vacations.
On top of that, we have developed an acute insight into what makes
the various attractions tick - how well they work (or otherwise), what their most positive attributes are and, more importantly,
how people can best enjoy them.
Our freelance travel-writing encompasses such wide-ranging media as glossy
consumer magazines (like World of Cruising, Europe's premier publication on cruising and cruise ships, and the magazine's blog, Time Spent At Sea), travel brochures, regional guides (like the Great Lakes North America), in-flight magazines, website copy, Internet discussion forums, blogs and newsletters.

to read more about our writing, click here: Recent Travels; To commission us for work, click here Contact Us.
And there's more! Simon's background in sports journalism means we often
include sporting events of all kinds in our travels. Simon has covered a wide range of sporting events in the past 25 years,
including the Super Bowl, Major League Baseball, Wimbledon tennis, Premiership soccer and even boxing, and he continues to
write for various newspapers on American sport. He is uniquely placed to contribute articles on US events for UK media, and
to provide a British perspective on American sporting occasions. In fact, we'd go as far as to say that a visit to a baseball
game, or basketball, football or (ice) hockey is an essential part of any visit to the USA, and we are big flag-wavers
for sampling life through the local sporting institutions. To view some of his sports-writing work, you can read his regular
Sports Blog, Here, or see his View From America columns for SkySports.com, Here.
