Introduction:
My husband and I have always dreamed of retiring to a place where magic fills the air. For us, that means Orlando, Florida – with a Disney World annual pass in hand for daily park visits! But with two cats and a dog in tow, figuring out how to retire to Disney World has been quite the adventure. Join us as we explore our options, weighing the pros, cons, and practicalities of each path.
As we approach retirement, my husband and I have been dreaming about how we want to spend our golden years. While many dream of quiet seaside escapes or traveling the world, our dream is a bit more magical: we want to retire to Orlando, Florida, and go to Disney World every day with season passes for residents. But there are many options to consider to make this dream a reality, especially since we have a dog and two cats. Here’s a detailed look at the different possibilities, including a deep dive into Disney Vacation Club (DVC) resorts, their contracts, and other residential options like Golden Oak.
