It's good to get a "Florida Only" driver's license. Disney (sometimes) has deals for Florida residents, so do cruise lines and other businesses, hotels and Florida attractions like Silver Springs. You can also get a library card for the county you live in. Few people look for that little statement that says "Valid in Florida only".
And when you finally move here, they convert that one to a regular one when they take your NH DL away from you.
I knew a couple who had a house up north (in her name) and one in Florida (in his name). They claimed TWO homestead exemptions (one for each place). She voted up north and he voted down south. She had a northern driver's license and registration and he had Florida ones. Luckily both states did not have State Income Taxes. As far as I know, that's all perfectly legal. There is nothing saying that a married couple HAS to live together even though they were together all the time!
