We love it in central Florida but it has nothing to do with Disney. Like you said, 6 hours to just about anywhere in the state. The big draw for us is we have an RV and our neighborhood was designed for the purpose. We have a garage for our Rv. Some people have ports, some just a pad. Regardless, it's nice to be able to walk out of the kitchen, get in the RV and go. No, we aren't retired and yes, this our home. We aren't snowbirds.We live in South Florida about a mile from the beach.. I felt the same way. Location , location, location.
I'm not sure how I would feel about living in central Fl.
It's always faster there!!! Its that dreadful return home.... usually the kids are tired and cranky and my DH has now become concerned on what we spend on drinks at gas stations and fast food restaurants.1057 milesmaps says 15.5 hours but I usually get there in 14
