This 10-day East Coast itinerary combines New York, Washington and Orlando, a mix that suits families: a big city, museums and theme parks. It comes with an English version that helps with the visa form and the interview. ## Best time to visit the East Coast Spring (April and May) and autumn (September and October) are best for New York and Washington. Summer is hot and humid in Orlando and the busiest season at the theme parks, while winter is cold in New York and mild in Florida. US visa interview wait times can be long, so start planning very early. ## Day-by-day itinerary | Day | City | Activities | Transport | Accommodation | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | New York | Arrival, Times Square | Flight to JFK | Hotel, Manhattan | | 2 | New York | Statue of Liberty, Wall Street | Ferry and subway | Hotel, Manhattan | | 3 | New York | Central Park, The Met | Subway | Hotel, Manhattan | | 4 | New York | Empire State Building, Brooklyn Bridge | Subway | Hotel, Manhattan | | 5 | New York → Washington | Transfer, the National Mall | Amtrak train (about 3 hours) | Hotel, Washington | | 6 | Washington | Smithsonian museums, U.S. Capitol | Metro | Hotel, Washington | | 7 | Washington → Orlando | Transfer | Domestic flight | Hotel, Orlando | | 8 | Orlando | Walt Disney World Resort | Car or shuttle | Hotel, Orlando | | 9 | Orlando | Universal Orlando | Car or shuttle | Hotel, Orlando | | 10 | Orlando | Departure | Flight from Orlando (MCO) | — | ## Getting around and practical tips The Amtrak train between New York and Washington is comfortable and leaves from the city centre, and it is often faster than flying once airport time is counted. Orlando needs a domestic flight, plus a rental car to get between your hotel and the theme parks. Book theme park tickets in advance, as prices vary by day. ## The US visa and the role of the itinerary You need a US visitor visa (B1/B2), applied for with the online DS-160 form followed by an in-person interview at the embassy or consulate. The US government does not require flight or hotel bookings and advises against buying tickets before the visa is issued. But the form asks for your arrival date, length of stay and address, and the officer may ask about your travel plans at the interview. Knowing your plan clearly makes your answers consistent and convincing. Official details are on the US embassy website. **We prepare this itinerary with your own dates and cities**, in Arabic and English, to help you fill in the form and prepare for the interview.

Yes, with a short flight from New York to Buffalo and an extra day. The Canadian side requires a separate Canadian visa. ### Do I need a car in New York? No. The subway and walking are much easier, and parking is expensive. ### Do I need travel insurance? Strongly recommended, because medical costs in the US are among the highest in the world.
