I am considering moving to the Orlando area when I retire in a few years. Part of this is Disney, as I've been there dozens of times over the last several decades. However, this is not my only reason why this is one of my top choices. The other items I find attractive about this possibility are:
Florida is retiree friendly. No state income tax, obviously.
It has a major international airport - MCO. This means the travel to international and domestic destinations would be significantly cheaper than prices from my current location. They are also serviced by Southwest - my city is not.
Kennedy Space Center is close by. As somewhat of a geek I would enjoy seeing rocket launches. I've tried several times during our vacations but it never worked out.
I'm a Southern boy. The heat there is no worse that what I already experience. Orlando is actually better - because it is between two coasts there are almost always a breeze.
Lots of condos or other age friendly dwellings. I'm in good physical shape now but I fully expect that I hit the 70's and 80's I'll likely have mobility issues, and even if I don't it's still best to allow for the possibility. I don't want or need a lawn to take care of, and my desire for lots of space has pretty much left the building with Elvis.
