Hi
I can give you a few things I didn't like. Now I moved to Orlando to do the Disney College Program (which was overall positive) and only stayed for about a year (grad school and all) so I wasn't worrying about things like schools or good neighborhoods to buy a house in so I can't comment on those but of the of places I've lived (2 in GA, 1 in NC, and 1 in Scotland; which isn't many, I know) Florida is my least favorite. I should also say I lived right off of Disney property so some of these issues may not apply if you are farther away. And of course its shaped by my wants and experiences.
1) Its hot. I'm no stranger to southern heat and humidity since I'm originally from GA but I still hate walking outside and having my clothing stick to my body. You have to make sure you hydrate well and don't get overheated. I'm used to the heat and can deal with it just fine but I don't want to.
2) I did tend to hibernate during the hottest parts of the year. My CP stretched the summer and pretty much everyone who had been there since the winter was FAR less motivated to leave the A/C, not even Mickey could draw us out some days (at least not till the evening). Plus summer was the busiest time everywhere. At the mall. At Disney. At restaurants. It is just plain busy.
3) Traffic is a nightmare. Not just your regular traffic but the tourist who is lost and will swerve across 5 lanes of traffic to get to that exit then swerve back in because that wasn't the exit kind of traffic. I also found there to be more wrecks than I was used to and a lot of them are on Disney property (which is where I spent most of my time when I dared the heat).
4) Toll roads. I hate them. With a passion. Maybe because I was only making a few cent above minimum wage. But there are so many and they get so so expensive. The non toll roads are crowded with people avoiding toll roads.
5) Like any big city there is crime and a fairly large homeless population. Because Orlando is a tourist area with a lot of minimum wage workers a lot of the people you deal with are going to be poor (many Disney cm's often have to have one or more roommates to afford an apartment). A lot of people will lose jobs and become homeless. I'm pretty sure a few documentaries/sociology papers have been made/written about it actually. Its an unfortunate side effect of the nature of tourism jobs. You'll notice this more in downtown Orlando proper as opposed to towards Disney but it is a problem.
6) A lot of things are closed or run down. We just went through a pretty bad economic downturn and it shows in Orlando. Many of the shops and attractions that used to be open are now closed, a lot of those are the "tourist traps" of old and those building and lots have not been maintained.
7) (This could totally be a pro depending on you) Almost everyone is a transplant. I worked with few people from Orlando or even Florida. A lot of people move back home after a few months or years of being in Orlando because there isn't much to tie them to the city. We would have at least 2-3 people quit each month to move back home or somewhere else. I know that some Disney cm's wouldn't even become friends with/hand out with CP's because there was a new batch every 5-6 months.
8) Brain eating amoebas in the lakes and rivers. Shutter. And alligators. Makes recreation a little more limited.
9) I am from the mountains where in the spring and summer everything is overwhelmingly green. I love tall green shade trees, forest, and mountains. Everything Orlando basically doesn't have. Palm trees just don't cut it for me. Although I do like Spanish moss.
10) Tourist. Tourist everywhere. Which I didn't really mind personally but it can for sure be a con (especially if your grocery store is one of the ones tourist use, there can be constant shortages on the most random food items. And around CP move in at least 3 drug stores and 2 walmarts will run out of thumb tacks. Plan your thumb tack shopping ahead of time, is what I'm saying).
11) Hurricane weather. And how humid it gets after any rain.
12) Its. Too. Hot. Yes this was also #1. But gee golly its just hot. An unhappy sort of hot.
There were things I did like. Like being able to find some of the Scottish treats I missed and the impressive selection of international food (thanks tourism!). Oh and Publix. Publix is nice. Plus being close to Disney and the beach is nice. But personally for me the con's far far outweigh the pros. I would move back for a great job but not just to be closer to Disney.
Oh and I highly suggest people watching at the outlet mall. That was a huge pro.
Hope that helps! Also did I read right that you were from SoCal? I know that one thing a few of my fellow CP's that were Cali natives really disliked were the food options. Apparently Orlando's verity pales in comparison to SoCal. No personal experience with that but it was such a common complaint it turned into a joke of sorts.
If you move down pick Florida for all the things you like about it and not just Disney. As you can see loads of people on this thread had lots of pros beforehand and absolutely love it. Like any major move (that isn't motivated by a great job offer) make sure it fits more than one thing you want.
Sorry to kind of hijack the thread op! I'm glad you love Orlando!
My husband wants to move there but I do not.
. We'll be going it without relocation help, as we will probably wait until DH retires. Dd is graduating college, so school district needs are not our concern. I would love to be near Disney but near the ocean, too, in a safe area with stores and sidewalks.
