Nearby Hangouts To Look Forward To If You Retire In Orlando

An itinerant retirement is not for everyone.  Only a minority of the people who decide that, as retirees, they plan to travel the world without a home base to speak of can keep up that lifestyle for more than a few months.  Even the most adventurous people need some relaxing monotony sometimes.  You should choose your retirement destination based on its conduciveness to a comfortable everyday life.  Therefore, you are wise to choose the suburbs of Orlando.  Central Florida is known for its affordability, and it is far enough from both of Florida’s coasts that you are unlikely to be under evacuation orders in the event of a hurricane.  Retirement is not just an endless series of lazy days where you go to Publix in the morning and then spend the afternoon looking out the window to see which species of birds alight in your backyard.  You also want to choose a place where people will want to visit you.  Your grandchildren are delighted that you live so close to the theme parks, but theme parks get old after a while, and kids quickly grow to an age when they know that there are better ways to spend your time and money.  Fortunately, if you retire to Orlando, you are also close to places where you will want to take day trips with your retired friends when they visit you from out of town, and where your grandkids might even want to have destination weddings.  To find out more about retiring to a sought-after destination, contact an Orlando estate planning lawyer.

The Westgate River Ranch Resort

You don’t have to go all the way to Davie in Broward County to find a little piece of the Wild West all the way east in Florida.  Instead, you can take a weekend trip to the Westgate River Ranch resort, where family members of all ages can ride horses and swim by day and relax in covered wagon-themed cabins at night.  There are s’mores for the young generation and bourbon for adults.  Westgate River Ranch even has a live rodeo show every Saturday night.

Three Sisters Springs in Crystal River

Three Sisters Springs in Crystal River, on the West Coast, is where Florida’s manatees go to stay warm in the winter.  Even the most cynical grandchildren will agree that swimming with manatees is as entertaining as anything a screen can provide.  Even when it’s just an old folks’ trip, standing on the shore and watching the baby manatees cuddle up to their mothers is one of the best ways you can spend a winter’s day in Florida.

The Ringling Museum in Sarasota

The tourism industry has divided Florida’s water-adjacent land into 12 named coasts, and Orlando is day trip distance from the Cultural Coast, which includes Sarasota and Venice.  The Ringling Museum is the highlight of the Cultural Coast and an ideal location for destination weddings, or even your own Golden Anniversary party.  Kids will also enjoy the Ringling Brothers Circus Museum.
