Re: Has anyone here relocated to the Orlando area?

Holy WOW Rich!! Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Hi Amy! It's really good to hear from you both. I've dreamt of moving to Florida since I was a kid! Never found ourselves in a position to take the leap, as we do now. Long story, but hoping in the end all good!! Our home is on the marke...

Has anyone here relocated to the Orlando area?

Hello all! My family and I are finally taking steps to move closer to the magic! Actively searching for employment and homes in the Orlando area. I'm wondering if anyone has moved from another state, and if so, would you mind sharing your experience and thoughts with me? We are hoping to leave PA an...

Oh, great! Thanks a lot! I've been trying to find a resort map, but haven't been lucky. That sounds dreamy!

My friend just asked me if I put in for a room request here. I didn't, figuring anywhere is fine with me! Wondering, though, does anyone have any particular building/room that's a favorite? Do you pretty much get the same view throughout the resort? It's getting close, and I thought I'd better ask s...

Oh, that DOES sound like good fun! I imagine some visuals could be potentially scarring to the younger set, yes--ha ha ;)
I think we'll stay out of the parks that night...though the thought of hanging out in the Magic Kingdom until 3am is very appealing! Hmmm

Awesome! I figured the parks and hotels would be nuts that night, but thought maybe we could perch ourselves on the beach at the Poly or somewhere. Getting in and out could be challenging, though. Old Town--that, too, would be cool. I just booked a room in Kissimmee for that night, and I know it's r...

New Year's Eve

Howdy! I was wondering if you all had any ideas for what to do in the Orlando area on New Year's Eve? We're leaving Tampa a day earlier than we had originally planned, and would like to do something near--or on--Disney property (we don't plan to go into the parks until Jan 3rd) Now that Pleasure Isl...

I'll check into it. From what I understand, it remains open until it reaches capacity--not sure how many people they allow to do it. According to the website, the half marathon is already full, and the full marathon @ 85%. :figment: Here is the link for info... http://disneyworldsports.disney.go.com...

WDW Circle of Life 5k

Hello! I was wondering if anyone is planning to take part in the Circle of Life 5k, during marathon weekend at WDW? I did it back in 2003, when the run went through Epcot. It was great fun! I just realized that it will be going on while we're there, and thought it would be great motivation to get my...

We, too, had a Disney drought during that time period. I was wrong in saying he got his start at Disney. He played long before that. Learned to play in France, and then various places throughout the US, before coming to Disney. He didn't wear the costume at Disney, either. I found video of him playi...
