OK, we've been looking into this after several queries about an apparent change in policy by the Florida Department of Transport, and it seems that the rules HAVE changed.
Now, instead of just using your blue UK Disabled Parking Badge, you need to take it (along with your passport) to one of several local vehicle licensing offices in Orlando and pay a $15 fee for a temporary US parking badge. This is obviously quite different to the info that is in the Brit's Guide at the moment, but this is the official info from the FDoT. The temporary permit is good for 90 days after issue.
To find out the nearest Orange County tax office where you can visit to pay the fee and pick up your temporary badge, visit their website here: http://www.octaxcol.com/OfficeLocations.htm#South Semoran Tag Agency
There are eight Orlando offices where you can pick up the necessary badge (listed under Motor Vehicle Registrations), and it must be stressed this is the new official policy, hence you DO risk a parking fine if you don't comply with these regulations.
In Osceola County, there are four tax offices, listed on this website: http://www.osceolataxcollector.com/locations-hours.html
