Moving on down to FL!

[JLoinDisney]

Hey everyone! I know some of you guys are in FL and I have a question. At the end of the summer (yes I am prepared to melt) my husband and I will be moving to FL. As of this moment we found a house we like a lot but I feel like as much as I look into the town I can’t find out too much about the actual location! So the town is Debary and we would really appreciate any info you can give us including how troublesome will the drive be to Disney and any local hot spots... anything! So a bit about us, we are both in our 30’s, we have no kids and the move is for my husbands job. I am a hairstylist and I love to cook so I would love your thoughts on grocery stores too! Oh yea, and we are from MA! Thanks you guys and have a great weekend!!!

Debary is a nice area. At this time with I 4 constitution you would have a miserable drive to Disney.

Do they know when that construction will be done? I feel like it’s like the construction that’s going on in MA right now on 95... it’s been going on for years! Lol

They make great sandwiches too...the line is always looong on weekends!

Also, don't be surprised to have your a/c on constantly for 9-12 months.

Due to the humidity, you really need to run the a/c at all times in a modern construction home, because they are built fairly air-tight. You need a/c to reduce the moisture in the house so that you don't develop a mold problem.
In the shoulder seasons most people put the a/c on a timer to kick on during the warmest part of the day and shut down at night.

DS is a college student in central FL, and both of his apartment leases have had clauses that he was NOT to leave the apt with the a/c turned completely off. If he does, and mold develops, then he is on the hook to pay for the mitigation treatment.

We live near you in the pretty and wonderful City of Sanford, just on the other side of Lake Monroe. You will be happy to hear that if you get an E-pass (or they just bill your plate), you can easily take road #46 from Sanford towards Mount Dora, and then hop on the 429 all the way to Disney. They just opened this route up in March, the traffic so far is much lighter, and it's a wonderful, short 45 minute drive to Disney and worth every penny of the toll!
