I left NYC after 20 years so I could live near Disney World. Florida’s been great despite some big drawbacks.

• I relocated from New York City to Florida to be closer to one of my favorite places, Disney World.
• I visit the parks at least three times a week and love spending time with my friends there.
• I’m still adjusting to the severe storms and dealing with a little homesickness.

As someone who lived in New York City for over 20 years, moving to Florida was a significant change.

I live about 15 minutes away from Disney World, and though I love visiting the parks, I definitely miss some things about NYC.

Here are a few of the best and worst parts of my move.
