It is their happiest place.
A couple from suburban Charlotte who don’t want to wait until retirement to fulfill their dreams have moved to the doorstep of Walt Disney World in Florida, visiting the parks almost every day — and they’re loving their new life.
Jessica and John “Wes” Pruitt, 42 and 56, say they practically live in the Mouse House — and they wouldn’t have it any other way.
The couple made the move after seeing a retired family member struggling to enjoy the life they worked so hard for – and knew they didn’t want to end up in the same situation.
“We ate at the same five restaurants in a small suburb of Charlotte and sat on the couch every night,” Jessica told Caters News. “We didn’t want that to be the rest of our story, so we made a change.”
After their children were old enough and settled in with their own families, they packed their bags and moved from North Carolina, to Davenport, Florida, to be closer to the most magical place.
“My husband and I go to Disney World every day, but it’s not what you think,” Jessica said.
“We love Disney World. There is so much more to do and see than just Mickey Mouse and roller coasters,” she added. “I can’t even count how many times we’ve been. We’ve lived here for a little over two years now.”
Living just seven miles from the park’s gates, Jessica uses social media to show viewers of her viral videos that there’s more to the iconic resort than meets the eye.
In a popular video, Jessica shares how they spend a day at Disney World, including exploring, dining at restaurants, sipping cocktails, meeting friends, watching fireworks, listening to live music and more.
“We made friends with some of the staff. We go so much that we have the unique experience of being a regular,” Jessica said.
For the playful duo, the parks have become a kind of second home.
“We’ve lived here for a little over two years now, and we’re on Disney property in some shape or form almost every day of the week,” Jessica said.
While not everyone understands their Disney-filled lifestyle, they mostly get positive responses and their friends and family are happy that it brings them so much joy.
“We’re very much a live-and-let-live kind of people,” Jessica said. “You can pay bills and work from anywhere. Move and live wherever your heart desires.”
“Don’t let fear stop you from making big changes.”
