I had to fly people out to visit me, or fly somewhere else, so that I had decent people to hang out with. Towards the end of my year, I did meet the only cool person I met there.
Orlando may be a fun place to visit, but atrocious place to live.
Guess that depends on where you lived, etc, etc. I don't live in the theme park area, so don't really have an issue with tourists. Compared to NY, just about everyone is nice, relaxed and mellow.
We never had to fly people out, everyone comes to visit us. My parents and my father in law have both become "snow birds" since we moved here. Granted, Florida in general seems to have a lack of "character" and the landscape is kinda boring (no mountains or regular trees). I'm not married to the place. Wife wants to move to Charlotte or Raleigh, which I have no problem with. But the housing market is delaying that.
