Orlando Relocation : Relocating to Orlando : Orlando, Florida

Here at RNS Florida, we know that relocating means packing up all of your belongings…kitchen equipment included. If you’re not quite unpacked yet and are looking for a fun way to have Sunday dinner with the family, look no further than the Orlando Food Truck Bazaar. What’s a food truck bazaar? A food truck bazaar is a gathering of Orlando’s best mobile food vendors in a family friendly outdoor community dinner. Since you have recently relocated to Orlando, this is not only a great way to experience the local cuisine, but the perfect way to mingle and meet new people in your new home.

The Food Truck Bazaar features a variety of options for each member of the family ranging from gourmet, ethnic and even dessert trucks! This event will be held on Sunday May 20^th from 5 to 8 pm behind the Orlando Fashion Square Mall. The Fashion Square Mall is located at 3201 East Colonial Drive. For more fun events or more information to ease your relocation to Orlando, call RNS Florida at 407-595-4474.

Relocating can be difficult, especially on the younger members of your family. It is especially helpful to try and keep some familiarity during the transition. Whether it is having the usual family Sunday dinner or watching the same TV shows, little “homey” details bring ease to a child adjusting to a new city. Why not visit a fun attraction in your new city with a familiar character that brings your little ones joy? Join Bob the Builder™ and his crew at Orlando Science Center’s Bob the Builder™ – Project: Build It!

Transport your family into the beloved world of Bob the Builder and the Can-Do Crew while sparking your child’s curiosity and sense of teamwork, all while building on environmentally-friendly themes throughout the exhibit. This traveling exhibit gives you the opportunity to spend the afternoon in Sunflower Valley with kid-smart activities that motivate the family to work together and learn the value of a job well done. As if that wasn’t enough, you will also have the opportunity to meet Bob in person!  Catch Bob the Builder on his last weekend at the OSC this Saturday and Sunday at 11:30am for a “Meet and Greet” session that will no doubt be a great first experience in Orlando for the whole family.

The Bob the Builder™ – Project: Built It exhibit includes:

• Meet the Can-Do Crew: Say hello to the Can-Do Crew in three – dimensional form! Bob the Builder, Scoop and Benny, the specialist digger, are on display as life size characters throughout the exhibit.
• Bob’s Mobile Home: Take a tour of Bob’s mobile home and help him fix it up or relax while watching video clips from the series.
• Build the Machine Shelter and Drive a Machine: Join the machine team as you help them build up their shelter, create sleeping spots for Scoop, Muck, Roley and Dizzy, roll around with Roley the steamroller, dig and climb around Scoop the Digger and Muck the dump truck!

If you are looking to relocate to an area with a diverse population and strong sense of community spirit, Celebration may be perfect for you! Celebration, Florida is a census-designated place (CDP), meaning that it is not an incorporated town, but is designated by the census to differentiate it from neighboring towns. Even though Celebration is not an official town, it is still based on five cornerstones: health, education, technology, community, and sense of place.

Located in very close proximity to Walt Disney World, Celebration was actually developed by The Walt Disney Company in the early 1990s. This town was planned in an early 20^th century architectural style and is not zoned for high-density residences, thus bringing a small-town feel to the community.

According to the United States Census Bureau, Celebration has a total area of 10.7 miles and a population of just 7,427 citizens. Out of the 952 households claimed, 45.1% have children under the age of 18 living with them, 66.5% are married couples living together, and 24.7% are non-families (see Figure 1). The average household size is 2.82 and the average family size is 3.30.

Figure 1: Household Demographics

The population is spread out with 30.8% under the age of 18, 5.1% from 18 to 24, 30.8% from 25 to 44, 26.4% from 45 to 64, and 6.9% who are 65 years of age or older. The median age determined was 37 years. The median income for a household is $74,231, and the median income for a family is $92,334 (see Figure 2).

Figure 2: Age Demographics

Celebration has a wide variety of community organizations, seven registered Christian churches, one hospital ministry, and one Jewish congregation. There are parks throughout the town as well as a fire department, post office, schools, and a golf course. Celebration Town Center contains many shops, restaurants, and other commercial establishments.

Celebration is separated into areas referred to as villages. This includes North Village, East Village, South Village, and Artisan Park, to name a few. This town is extremely safe and has been witness to only two serious crimes.

The town of Celebration, even though not an official city, is a wonderful place to live. Celebration is a community where residents strongly believe in caring for their neighbors. When you visit, be sure to visit the Celebration Welcome Center to pick up a detailed community map and spend some time learning about the history of the town.
