How far away do the Podcast members live from the parks?

[agame2323]

I swear, it seems like you guys are always in the parks, and that's a good thing. I was just wondering.

I live about 12 miles from the parks. Try to go often.

That's like from my house to Manhatten :0

I don't know where Craig LIVES, but I do know that when Kylie's upset with him, he usually just hides on one of the Friendship Boats at World Showcase until the park closes, then sleeps there all night.

Hee hee hee - might be right after the "cowboy jokes" he made in today's show, even though he says she doesn't watch!

Firstly: lol.
Secondly: I believe he's mentioned he lives near Doctor Phillips high school? Or in that area, so, fairly close to UOR

Ps. This is a bit of a stalkerish thread, I feel like I'm invading their privacy a bit.

 

[WebmasterMaryJo]

I live 25 miles from the Disneyland Resort - pretty much all freeway, so early on Sundays takes me a half hour or less to get there. Friday nights is another story.

 

[WebmasterJohn]

Kevin and I are 17 miles to WDW property - 17.2 miles to the Pepper Market.......

Nothing they've never said in the shows. You're good.

My last 2 apartments were about 25-30 minutes from Disney for one and around 8 minutes from property for the other (the animal kingdom lodge area has a street that leads straight to I-92).

Oh no, I get it, and as I said, I only know because Craig has mentioned it on the show... Doesn't stop me from feeling a bit creepy though

TOO SOON.

TOO SOON.

Threads like this are the reason the other Pete has a restraining order against me.

I have to admit that I have thought about where people live in relation to the Metro Orlando area. I think I first thought about it when Kevin, John and Pete were talking about how when they were thinking of moving down to Orlando and being in the parks every day. And the reality was that after job, life and commute it was difficult to actually live that dream.

Having just moved here, I disagree that this is what happens.. We all know that last day at work before your on your way to disney feeling. You know your moving and it's not a vacation, but in a certain way it does feel like your moving and going to always be on vacation! Like any trip to orlando, you've been conditioned from your past on what you like to do right away. Once you get that out of the way, when it starts to feel like "disney will be here tomororw" starts to happen. Then the special events that we all love blogs and webcasts for telling us about happen. It's right there to do it with them.

I understand it more now that I moved but it's not like your battling with life and disney (or any of the other entertainment and theme parks here). You do go from vacation mode to living next door mode. Disney will cheer up a bad day in seconds when you need it. I'm sure some are obsessed with always being there and you can structure you life to allow that.. it just won't be daily rope to close days there.

Kevin and John said they live under the big cloud in Orlando where it rains all the time

OK, not one of the podcasters but I can relate to the latter part of this. My wife and I are retired and we moved to a neighborhood that is just 2 miles from the castle in the MK. We visit the parks maybe 3-4 times a month. Real life does get in the way. Add to that, we've pretty much seen/done everything we care to do so its not like we have to go to the parks.

But we do have things we like to do in the parks so occasionally we look at each other and say "want to go to Epcot today?". We will then head over for 2-3 hours, sometimes longer.

I would say that 3-4 times a month is still pretty frequent. Averaging once a week, which is how often Pete wants his team in the park.

True. Look at it this way. We bought APs in November. We will end up using those passes to enter the parks for a total of 16-18 days roughly spread over the course of 3 visits (November, January, and July). Even at 2 visits per month, you'll be in the parks more in a year than we will in 3 vacations.
