This was great! I love these videos. I do have one question though for anyone who has moved to Florida. Lord forbid, if something were to happen and Disney was no longer there, would you still enjoy living in Florida?
I moved from PA to NC/SC a few years ago. It is absolutely true - everything is slower, and we always comment that the grocery store is so much more relaxed! We absolutely love it and do not miss the snow AT ALL! ;)
When we are visiting Florida and go to the deli inside the grocery store we are amazed how "relaxed" (ahem slow) the employees are. We move a lot faster up North but tell ourselves to chill, what's the big rush?! So instead, we go with the flow and find the employees are friendly and have time for a little chit chat. It's nice.
This was interesting and a good reason not to lump New England together. I am in rural NH and we are "slow moving" and talk all the time to the cashiers and have baggers. It is true about sun and cold though. I would love to escape the cold and lack of sun. It was great to hear that it really is not much warmer in Florida than up here. We are humid and hot in the summer, but it doesn't last as long as I hear that it does in Florida.
NYer here. This was great info for someone looking to move down in a couple of years!! It’s true Barb, people are miserable on their commutes to NYC! 3 hour commutes a day are tough!!! Good luck finding a home 😁
I can relate to this video so much ...people told me I would miss winter after moving to FL. I spent 35 years in a cold climate and 100 percent loathed it, so why would I miss it lol. I do much better health wise in heat too. I was also shocked at how talkative people are in FL. I had to go to urgent care and total strangers in the waiting room asked if I was okay and offered me their seats; they showed me as much concern as my family would! That never happened where I came from; you went anywhere and nobody would make eye contact or smile, let alone talk. Just one example of the difference here.
I think Barbara is me in ten years. I hope. I love when we visit Pensacola that the cashiers always turn and welcome you into the store. We are going down for a visit in two weeks (our cruise and World trip were cancelled). I can’t wait to be there.
New Yorker here🙋🏻♀️ and the supermarket thing is SO true. I laughed so much listening to this because of the accuracy. I can’t even bag my groceries properly before the person behind me is trying to get me out of the way. Last time I went the guy behind me just put his reusable bags on the floor and dumped all his groceries, flew out. It’s an experience for sure lol This series is so good, guys. Keep doing these👏🏼👏🏼
I live in coastal GA, and I still don't think I'm close enough to Disney. One day, we'll make the move. I absolutely love this series and dreaming about that day!
I live right outside of Philadelphia in the suburbs and once I sell my home I hope to head that way. And like yourself I’m a Disney fanatic ! It was good to hear the difference is that you weren’t expecting and how much more relaxing it is.
Have you made any videos that show any of the 55+ communities in Orlando? We are interested in moving to Orlando in about 2 yrs. Of course, we want to be no further than 30-40 mins away from WDW. If you've done these type of videos, can you please provide a link to them? Thank you!
As a native Philadelphian and recent Orlando transplant (lived here just over a year) let me just say please take this woman’s comments with a grain of salt. Buck County is not a bad place to live and is actually quite beautiful with the farms and spacious homes. How disappointing that this woman is using this forum to trash her hometown. Newsflash - there are nasty & rude people everywhere you go. DIS - please do not allow people like this on the show to trash other cities and the people that live in those cities. I couldn’t even finish watching this episode because this woman’s comments were so nasty and untrue.
We’re very seriously thinking about moving to Central Florida. I’m from Oregon. The thing I’m the most worried about is the lack of seasons and finding a comparable paying job.
This was such a great interview!! I live & work up in NYC, and I relate to everything you guys were talking about living/working in the northeast. My DREAM is to make the move down to Orlando whenever the time is right. Hoping that that's soon!
@@bethallison2868 Barb has deleted all comments from video on WDW reopening. I hate reporting but after ignoring many nasty comments towards me, I contacted G👀GLE/RUclips. New account with no content, many errors so I assumed English not first language. I attempted to give Barb the benefit of the doubt because of CoVid restrictions but I received another one this morning. I had requested to be kind but that wasn't enough, ignored bit it returned. I have only reported once before and that was for doxing, I reported to police too since it's a Federal crime.
@@barbbarnsworth8281 I was not being rude my question was where would be a good place to find modest price houses I was not telling him what to talk about I don't understand your comment
@@christinacope562 I was wondering if there was smallest price places because I know in and around Disney everything is over 300,000 and I didn't want to spend that much
Honestly, I found it very concerning when your guest repeatedly said people from the north are sad, unhappy, and unhealthy due to the weather in the northern states. That seems untrue and very offensive to generalize that area in that way! Families from that area are watching this show.
Thank you for this. You cannot and never should generalize about people. She also said that people in the Northeast are unhealthy. Really.....statistics show that people in the Northeast are far healthier than those in the South. I absolutely love Disney but that is the only reason I ever go to Florida unless I visit my sister in law in the West Palm Beach area and after a week, I long for the charm of the Northeast with it's architecture, towns and family neighborhoods. Luckily our beautiful country has something for everyone.
Walking with Mellow! Don’t speak for us. I am not offended in the least. I identify with her. A lot of what she said is true. I live and work in NYC. The winters, traffic, commutes, snow storms and yes, people’s attitude does infact affect quality of life. Some people might enjoy this go go go lifestyle, especially young transplants who don’t know better. However, it gets old real fast.
@@barbbarnsworth8281 First if all, I did not accuse Pete of anything. Where in my reply did I even mention Pete's name? I know that he is from NJ but I am not sure how that is important to this conversation. I was concerned that his guest made generalized comments about northern states. I am not at all sure how you misconstrued my words as an insult to Pete. Please read my reply again and you will understand what I was saying.
So funny, I currently live like a mile from that toll booth Sean is talking about, MD/DE. And he’s completely right. They are downright rude here. In my experience, NYC is nicer than this area and that’s sad!! I’m also from TN, Memphis though. A different world from East TN
We moved to NC from NY/NJ and my first big moment was also at the grocery store. Someone started talking to me about something. I was looking at and I was like uhhhhh who is this person and what do they want from me 😂
Born and raised in Philly. I have to say this interview turned me off. I can understand moving for better weather or for health reasons or jobs, etc., or even to be closer to Disney. But she completely trashed the area which a lot of us call home. I've really loved all the past guests and episodes and helpful tips but this one just missed the mark.
I disagree. The weather is way hotter down in Florida compared to the north east. Yes, the north east gets hot in summer, but it isn’t the everyday “feels like” temperature of 100+ that Florida gets from June-September.
We've lived in the Boston area, which is the far northeast. Though it is a little bit more humid in FL overall, it really isn't by very much compared to any of the east coast/southern cities during the Summer. The 2 Summers we lived in Boston (2017/2018), it would regularly get into the lower to mid 90's if you were 10 miles or more inland. And it was humid. There wasn't really much of a difference that you could really feel. I love that the outdoor activity season in the South is M-U-C-H longer than the northeast, which my wife and I love immensely. Winters are way sunnnier. We live in the Charlotte area now and absolutely love it. Most of the whining people do about the heat/humidity in the South is a bit overly dramatic, IMO lol.
LOL "a miserable existence"? Sorry, native SEPA'er here, it's really not that bad. She makes the grocery store experience sound like she's in Manhattan. It's not, guys. It might be gray and rainy a lot, but I still go for walks SMH. Your attitude largely defines your experience, not your circumstances alone. I want to move to a warmer climate eventually, but we've learned to be content with PA right now and create our own happiness. Yes, Pete, the compartmentalized style of housing in this part of the country is not as common in other parts of the states! And the comment "are you writing a book?" LOL But seriously, the misery she describes is SO inaccurate. This interview makes me sad that DIS would allow someone to trash a entire part of the country. It's simply not true.

Watching these stories is like reliving my experience of moving from CT to central FL. Love it!

I’m in Delaware 🤣 I can’t wait to move back to Florida. Love this series!
I think it would be interesting to hear the perspective of a younger couple or person (mid 20s)
This was great. Barb was wonderful!!!! New Yorker here also thinking about moving down. Cold and rainy today, so sunshine sounds great right now.
Love Barb, she’s a gem!
I love this series. We moved to Lakewood Ranch from Kansas City so my daughter could attend college. DO NOT MISS WINTER!
My top 3 reasons for moving to Central Florida are 1) weather 2) weather 3) weather

Hey fellow Bucks County native here. I wouldn't miss the winter either. Hope to move eventually.
I would love to see an episode with a Canadian who moved down and what the particular challenges were. Thanks!!

One thing we dont have in Florida though, is the northern wit.
