Do you ever think about moving?

[TinyTink]

BronxTigger, I'm from Miami, born and raised. So if you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer! On the positive side, you'd only be 225 miles away (about 3.5 hrs by car)!! Which is still too far IMO.

My DH and I have thrown around the idea of moving to FL. DH worked at WDW for 3 yrs after he graduated from college and he loved it. His dad lives in Tampa (thus our annual summer visits to FL). But my family lives in NY, DH's mom lives around the corner from us, we both love our jobs, and we love our house. Plus we're both teachers and haven't heard the greatest things about working in FL schools (DH's stepmom works in Tampa schools).

We actually talked about moving down to FL for a summer. We would find a short term rental and work part-time in the parks. That might actually happen sometime in the next couple of years. DH thinks that working at the parks will cure me of my Disney obsession. (I think it will just make it worse!)

All the time.......especially on days when there is snow on the ground

Thinking about it right now, actually. Osceola County is heavily recruiting for teachers. I'll be fresh out of college with nothing really to lose. My boyfriend would also love to go. It wouldn't be a long term move, but if there ever was a time for us to do it, it would be now before we are settled somewhere....

I actually did! I was in grad school in Philadelphia and my program wasn't a good fit for me. I was searching out new options when I stubled upon the U of West Florida in Pensacola. It was an entirely different type of archaeology than I had been previously focused on, but I was looking for something different, and it was MUCH closer to WDW! It was wonderful to get those FL resident rates, but at a 6 hour drive still much too far. I met and married a Navy pilot while in Pcola, and I convinced him to move even closer to Jacksonville! He was happy because we could afford to purchase a house in Jax (as opposed to San Diego), and I could finally live the dream of being an annual passholder!

I did it!!

Since I was 12 I've always wanted to live in Orlando, 3 years ago I got the chance to move to Miami and didn't like the traffic and craziness in south florida so last week my fiance and I up and moved to Orlando, we may be crazy but hey I just had lunch at Downtown Disney and was home in 20 minutes!

Part of the reason we moved to Georgia from Michigan was for that very reason! (We did get better jobs in moving here, too). We live in North Georgia, so we still get a LITTLE winter, and the summers, although hot, are not nearly as hot and humid as FL. We are having some issues with pollen right now, though (pollen count of 5937 yesterday - glad I'm not allergic! - they blow it around with leaf blowers it's so thick!). Our annual trip to the World is a lot easier now, though. Less than a 9 hour drive. Makes me happy!

Well, I guess I'm in the minority because I would never move to Florida. We live on Cape Cod which is beautiful and even though I don't like snow, I do like the seasonal changes. I also like it that Disney is a special getaway for us. Little tastes of it make it more special in my opinion. I don't think we'd appreciate it as much if we could go all the time.

I would love to move to FL My Dh says he doesn't want to though. FL is one of 2 states that does not reciprocate his Pharmacist license. I do not think he wants to take any more tests

All the time. I live in South Florida, so the heat humidity and hurricanes don't bother me.

I've applied to IT and analyst positions a couple of times, and felt as though I got close once. My DW said we could move if I got the job.

We've looked at houses in the past and came close (DWs parents moved to Orlando for about a year, but then moved back. That was the closest we came.)

We have friends that up and moved to Auberndale. They are 20 mins from the MK gate, but away from the hustle of Orlando.

I'd move in a heartbeat.
