Fawlty Towers tavern on the i192 in kissimmee will 100% have it on, as that's where i'll be watching it!! It's directly opposite the medieval times castle.

Are you in for WBA and Newcastle and are they live or delayed? I've not checked the TV schedules. My hotel is in Kissimmee so should be able to get a taxi up for the Newcastle game, I'll struggle for the Baggies game as we don't get in till 8pm.

Try the Cricketers Arms in the Festival Bay Mall top of I drive or Beef O bradys on the 192 about half a mile from the exit for the 27. www.cricketersarmspub.com/

I actually fly back to england a week on tuesday, so I'll be there for the baggies game only. I'm not sure, but I believe someone said the next 3 games are on fox sports channel. Fawlty shows live games on fox sports and setanta, I'll check the schedules tonight and post on this thread. Which hotel are you in? I'll tell you how far it is.

Fawlty Towers will almost certainly be showing it, and you will probably also find it's on at Harry Ramsbottoms which is also on I-192.

your best bet is "the PUB" its run by irish expats. plus some of my mates who are also stoke fans might be there for games if they are on tv. it just off I4 same turn for walmart. its green and has big sign which says pub. or tbh mate where you are staying u might have the fox soccer network or sumthing just be up early on sat to see

Thanks for the advice. Maybe I'll catch one or two of you down there. I'll be either the grey skinned (for WBA) or bright red skinned individual (for the Newcastle game) attempting to sneak his daughter in whilst both wearing toxic yellow tops

Just been down to Fawlty and if it's on fox or setanta then they are deffo showing it, with commentary! and you won't have to sneak your daughter in as it's family friendly (although i can't guarentee that my language will be!)
address for the taxi guy is: 4531 W Irlo Bronson Mem Hwy, Kissimmee, FL
the West Irlo malarky is the I192.
I'll be the one in the black puma stoke shirt from a few years back shouting at the screen with a hangover as the game kicks of at 10am and the night before will be my last night djing at Fawlty!

Just checked the TV schedule and the WBA game is on at 6.30pm EST on the Saturday so you'll have time to recover from your night out or alternatively you may be pissed to pieces up a corner after a day on the pop. Unfortunately I get into Orlando at 8.05pm on the Satdee so it looks like I'll be missing our first away win of the season I'll nip in for a pint and a feed if its family friendly and ask them about the Castle game.

There's a pub on International Drive near to Wet 'n Wild called the George and Dragon and they had Sky Sports on when I was out there last year. I also think the owner may have something to do with Stoke or North Staffs because there were a couple of Stoke bits on the bar as well as some framed bits and pieces from Staffordshire Police...maybe he's an ex copper?

Don't forget the Red Lion on fifth or the Royal Oak which is next to the Mecca.
Also, if you are anywhere near the Odeon there is always the Kings Arms two blocks down.
Personally I would recommend the Swan With Two necks which is opposite the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society on fourth. Though a lot of people swear by the Rose and Crown which is in the same mall as Wilkinsons.

Again, thanks for all the tips.
Looks like I'll be spending most of my time visiting pubs. Don't cater for the English much then do they.
Sounds like fecking Benidorm. My missus will be chuffed ;D

Fromafar, you really are a miserable bastard of the highest order!
Orlando is a great place Clagary, hope you enjoy your trip, but StokieUK is right, a trip over to the Gulf coast is well worth it too!

I went in December, on Internation Drive theres a British pub which serves good English meals, have got about 5 t'vs showing different matches. I saw Albion v Tottenham, in one room they were showing Stoke v Man Utd. Met 4 Stokies in their you'd be suprised how many fans come and watch. Obviousley you get the plastic Man Utd fans "I'm Utds biggest fans" Did you watch the game? " Na who scored Beckham?"

Does good English food include the immortal meat and tata Wrights pie or maybe a fray bentos one out of the tin?
