It really does vary per person. For me, it's HEAVEN. The greatest day in my life was not my wedding day, nor the birth of my child; rather it was the day we crossed the border and saw the "Welcome to Florida" sign when we were driving (moving) from Ohio because my dream was finally coming true. Since my parents took us to WDW at Christmas in 1994, I wanted to move and did in 2007 with DH and our 5 week old daughter.
In Tampa, the humidity is not that bad and is completely tolerable because of the breeze. Orlando can be downright sweltering in the summer. Here, I'd say we have ~10 days each summer that make us glad to have A/C. People that come to visit us are always surprised how nice it is at our house, as they are not expecting the breeze we get. When people say "It's too hot in Florida," it reminds me of when people say, "It always rains in Seattle." Neither is totally true.
As far as hurricanes go, we are ~45 min drive to the Gulf, so we are safe from direct hits/storm surge. If a hurricane hit, we could certainly get wind & rain, but would miss the brunt. It all in where you live. I am 45 min to the beach on our West, and 60 min to WDW to the East.
Florida is paradise to me. My daughter plays outside all year round (without bundling up!!!), and rarely watches TV. I get to go to WDW twice a month, and, I am blessed with Florida Resident Rates for WDW and Disney Cruises.
It's not for everyone, but for our family, it's perfect :
That being said, I don't like the new music nearly as well as I do the old. I'm looking forward to DD12 moving up to Level 7 just so I can hear all the different music.
I will let you know what room we will be in when we get back so we can be added to the 1st page of the thread!
