I would advise some caution. While most like it in TV, some do not. Many residents in surrounding communities such as Stone Crest and Spruce Creek are former TV residents. I play golf each summer in NY with a former TV resident. He loved it, not his wife. As they say, "if Momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy". It's very easy to get caught up in the hype of TV on the initial visit, I'm positive that if he had the chance my grandson would highly recommend living in Disney World. In our own situation, while we really like TV, we also really like our NY home. We had to figure out how to make snowbirding work for us. Being full time in TV is just not an option at this time.
