Yes, it's the exact same for me! I did my internship in Oviedo, just to the east of Orlando, and we went all the time. I'm not sure I ever took it for granted because I knew it would only be one year and then end. Now that we have to fly to get there, regular visits aren't usually possible. Twice in a year only worked out because of some good planning and some gifts received, and we're going to love every minute of it.
See you on the flip side.
Hoping to go back to the Magic soon.

I guess I took it for granted because I figured that as far as we knew we were in Orlando for the foreseeable future.. but then the hurricanes happened and I got kinda homesick and I moved back to SC. Do I regret it? well in some ways yes and in some ways no. I don't like the city of Orlando all that much, the traffic and such, but of course we are now 8 hours from WDW.

I'm debating on whether to go down for a couple of meetups this year during Reunion. I enjoyed the CoP meet last year. Do you always attend the Reunions?

Nice. I am sure you will enjoy it. I enjoyed the few meet-ups I attended, but I didn't know anyone (except for acp) so I just stayed to the side with my kids. It wouls have been much better if I had mingled a little and got to know a few people that I probably see from the live show chats.
