So I'm going to Disney and never coming back... But First I have to find a house.

Welcome to another attempt at an acejka pre trip report. I am not so good at these, but I figured I would attempt to keep up with my last ever PTR since I am going to Disney in November and never leaving.

Yup. We are moving to Orlando. Not by my choice, but fine I will learn to deal with it.

First we have to take a trip down and look at some houses and figure out where we are going to live for the next few years. And you know, since we are there and all, we might as well make an appearance at Disney. Plus, we aren't paying for it!! Well, kind of, we are being reimbursed for food and lodging and other travel expenses, so I think I can swing sinking the cost of tickets to the park.

Now the questions of when we are going and where we are staying are still yet to be answered. I am making a plan and a backup plan and waiting to be told GO!

I will leave off here for now, I've gotta get to work. on a Saturday!

My husband and I have talked about moving to the Orlando area after our visit last year, but didn't think it was realistic. I'm interested to hear about your home search (I love looking at houses!).

We have always talked about moving to Georgia or Florida, but I never thought I would make it out of this area... I never in a million years thought I would ever move to Orlando, ever! It never seemed realistic either to go to Florida, I mean what would I do for work-since he got a raise and our rent is going down approx. $800 a month, I'm thinking of going to school and work on becoming a sahm. That is completely not ever going to happen here in Northern VA, but in Florida I can have the life I've dreamed of.

So we are trying to weigh our options for this move, and it almost seems the most logical to move our stuff in a POD and keep the essentials out, and get an apartment for 3-6 months while we try to decide whether to rent or buy and find a home.

I'm not too keen on buying right away-in fact I am totally against it. I've obviously never lived in Florida before and I could HATE it. Like really be miserable hate it, and then what happens? We are stuck with a house because it'd be impossible to sell right now.

I've already changed plans once about our trip down to see places. I've decided that there is no need for his work to reimburse us for lodging. We have DVC points that are going to expire, so its better to just use those up, maybe we will stay there for a few days and use the points up, then move to another hotel.

Yet again, nothing too exciting in this update...
Maybe I will start adding pictures of possible houses, or us or something.
