Ok update. My wife got a job, she starts the 16th of January. We are in full blown "pack the ****ing house, and get stressed because theirs so much to do is so little time" mode right now. My wife and I are going to Orlando New Years weekend. My mom is watching the kiddo. We have tons of appointments set up to look at places. The first appointment on Saturday morning is the one I am hoping goes through. Its in Doctor Phillips. Great schools, great area, tons of stuff to do, close to everything. Surrounded by lakes and very affordable. We are excited, so wish us luck. We will be moving the 12th. Yay!!!!
Thanks deb. hope all is well!!! Nice. We will be at "old town" on 92 that night. So stop bye if you get the chance. Text me and let me know.
Awesome,hope you have a great move buddy. I live all the way over here in Cali,one day though I will visit Florida,need to see the Dolphins at home at least a few times.
Speaking of buying beer, I may need help moving couches up stairs (heavy couches) on January 12th. Anyone live in Orlando willing to help? I'll buy beer after
I live in Dr. Phillips!! I wish I would have seen this thread sooner, I could have helped you out!! I love the area though it is really nice! Where are the places that you are looking at? There are a lot of houses off of Apopka-Vineland near Sand Lake Road that have great location to Disney, restaurants, supermarkets, etc. Please, if you have any questions about the area do not hesitate to ask me via PM or in the thread. Best of Luck! And welcome to the Orlando/Dr. Phillips family!
Hahahahah this may be your lucky day. I start school at UCF again January 9th, but ironically I don't have classes on Thursday which happens to be January 12th... AND I will have to drive to my parents house on the 12th in order to go to the Circus with my family lol. I can try to help you out, you know us college kids and beer

Dude awesome! The place we are going to is in Sand Lake Private Residences. Its right off turkey lake/Sand Lake. I am super thrilled about it. It's affordable and in a great area with great schools and close to everything. I applied for the SunTrust in the walmart right there and a few around the area as well. Should hear from them soon. Im leaving for Orlando tomorrow after work. Will be there all weekend, looking at the place and hopefully putting a deposit down noon Saturday. If so it would be awesome!!
I might do the skycoaster. If I die, you know why. haha. You say Old Town's lame then you say you are "hitting up" the circus.
haha. Well what do you suggest we do for new years? We are staying at the hotel next to old town so we wont have to drink and drive. Which is big for us.
i hope its not the Days Inn. My friend literally found a human dump rolled up in a bath towel in one of the rooms lol. I had no such luck in my room
Tropical Palms. Have been staying there for disney vacas and stuff for years. Family tradition. Love that place.
Leaving after work today, I am all packed up. Very excited to hopefully put a deposit down tomorrow on the condo in Dr Phillips.
My family loves camping at that place! And Old Town isn't that bad, I kind of enjoy it myself, which says a lot because I am 23 and don't care a huge amount for cars in general. Also the place you are moving to is less than like 5 miles from where my parents live. Keep me posted about if you need help moving!
It gets weirder.... I came home from work to find my parents left to go camping for the weekend. Guess where they are camping? Yep, Tropical Palms. So weird... I work tomorrow noon to 10 and then Sunday too, so I doubt I make it out there though.
In Sanford now. 30 miles out of otown. Getting free hotel breakfast then on the way again. From 630-230
I head to davenport a lot on vacation as friends of mine have a villa there, would love to live in that area one day but being from England makes that a little complicated!
Sorry I'm a little late on this, but how's it going in Orlando so far? Been here almost 5 years, don't mind it at all. Just have to deal with those damn Brazilian tour groups, they're evil!
