I am sure every Disney fan across the world has a dream of living close to a Disney theme park. I made my dream a reality when I moved to Orlando, Florida last month (December 2018).
I feel extremely lucky and blessed to be able to live so close to a place that brings so much joy, happiness, and positivity into my life. I am able to visit Disney World anytime I want, what more could I ask for? However, what I did not realize was the extra pros and the few cons that would also be in store for me.
It’s a 40-minute drive.
You will not have a Disney “vacation”.
Your friends come to visit.. but not really.
Pros:
You can visit Disney whenever you want.
2 words: Disney friends.
First look at new Disney attractions, shows, and merchandise.
All in all, I would not trade living near Disney for the WORLD. I consider myself extremely blessed to spend so much time in the happiest place on Earth and the friendships it has brought me and will continue to bring me! If you could leave near ANY Disney park in the world.. which one would you choose?
