So normally I would never point out grammatical errors, but that's twice now spelling which as "witch." I just think that's hilarious
Even when i read text's or stuff on here i dont even pay attention to that stuff anymore. My mind reads it and if its wrong it automatically switched in my head. Im telling you its all because of cell phones
When I left my 2nd cp, I remember thinking, "I'm done with wdw." I'd give anything to work again, I wouldn't care where, I wouldn't care the hours, I wouldn't care the pay

Last week my GF texted me and asked if I ate already. I had intended on replying "Yes, I ate Panera." My phone autocorrected Panera to "pampers"

I have friends and family who love it in Florida ( an hour from Orlando in the Ocala area).
I've often wanted to retire there. If I was able, I'd apply for a job in Disney, but it would take the fun out of planning a vacation there. BTW- they didn't move to Florida to be near WDW.

We have friends who are just months away from relocating (retiring) from here (Maine) to Florida, outside of Orlando and I am not only going to miss them but I know every time I talk to them I'll be soooo envious of their ability to just stroll into any Disney park any time they want to. I'm so sick of the crappy weather here ( looong cold dreary winters...short summers...rainy springs ) that I can't wait to get to retirement age and join them. So in bout 9 more years (unless sooner should I win the lottery) you can add me & my wife to the Florida residents list.
sounds like we're in the same boat about our weather LOL

When I grumble about it my wife always says something like... Oh it's not that bad... we dont have it as bad as ( fill in the blank). Then I say... YEAH, BUT it isn't Florida and it isn't Disney!!!!

I don't know if WDW or the theme parks alone is a legit reason to move to FL. I mean, most people move to different places either for a different job or wanting a different or sometimes, better education for their kids. Those are probably the two biggest reasons I can think of. Retiring and moving to FL does make sense but other than two reasons I mentioned, there's probably nothing else valid. I do agree that moving there would spoil the Disney vacation feelings to begin with.
As for me, I think I'll pass any offers to move to FL. Knowing my large intolerance of the heat and humidity, I probably wouldn't move to FL, at all. Granted, it would be fun to get an annual pass and go to the parks whenever you want but you'll want something different after a while. I mean, I've lived in NJ for my entire time and never moved once from my hometown and I loathe my home state with a passion. The people are "cold" (No joke intended) for the most part and there's not much else to do beyond the Jersey Shore in the summertime (Which includes all the major theme parks in the state.), casinos all in Atlantic City and sporting events if you can afford to watch the games. I'm only generalizing but the major cities have more to do around there in my opinion. I could just leave but the reality says I can't and moralistically, doing that action on haste alone is not a good, rational reason.

See though? When you combine everything in NJ, then add in all the +'s of living in FL, it makes sense to me.
The people are nasty, the mood is stressful, it's expensive, the job market is no better than FL, if not worse! The weather is awful
FL, Disney, gorgeous weather (yes, the summers are brutal, but I'll trade no snow for the brutal summers), people are friendly, lower cost of living.

I live around 15 miles from the city most of the year and live at the shore during the summer months. The shore is normally beautiful during the summer but this summer it's a disaster zone
. People are only starting to year down now and all you see is contractors going around. The worst part is that everywhere you go there is construction so 50% of the time there is total grid lock. Most tourists that come to the shore are nice (sadly none this year ) though there are always the "Benny's" as we call them coming down and trashing the place...

Jobs market is a million times better in FL than NJ and the pay rates are almost identical...we live in Bloomfield and the wife is getting transferred to Orlando for work...I'm actually relieved that I won't spend the rest of my life trying to pay off a house in this god awful state...

Anyone else have the idea of everyone pooling some cash together to purchase a WDWmagic golden oaks house? Than we all pay a small yearly membership for the opportunity to rent the place for up to a week, we can than buy 2 or 3 more houses and make an exclusive business out of it!
how lucky are you!?!? I'm in wood-ridge, i'm working my behind off trying to convince my fiancée to just try it for a year, but to call her family oriented is putting it lightly. Me on the other hand, my father lives in CO, and I don't speak to my mother. So it wouldn't be a big deal for me

When most people say they are family orientated I find it's really they are just scared of the unknown...moving can be a big deal...you can still be family orientated and not live in the same state as your family...I think it's just understanding that if it's a thing you both want, then it's probably for the better to just take the risk and do it then staying in our welfare/nanny state...the happiest people i know are the ones that take risks (happen to be more wealthy than others too)...my opinion it's all about finding comfort in the unknown as a new beginning...

Humiditiy is all my wife and I ever knew. The first time we went to Vegas she couldnt believe what the lack thereof did for her hair. Everytime we go back she starts getting all giddy about her "desert hair".
