I cannot comment on the type of trips in MCO and seniority for someone new will depend a lot of the shake up after the merger. There are just many more places an hour drive in all directions from MCO that are worth living in as opposed to FLL.
While I wouldn’t want to live in the metro Orlando area proper (been there done that at another time in my life) bc it is very crowded and the traffic is very bad, and the summer weather is oppressive. However they do have some version of 4 seasons for temps unlike south Florida. There are just a lot more places just outside of town that you can get some breathing room and still be an easy drive to MCO. That’s just not possible with FLL
There are also more places inside the metro Orlando where you can have good public schools.
In south Florida only affluent areas have good schools but not all affluent areas do, and most do not. In fact many areas with multimillion dollar homes back right up to ghettos and have horrible schools.
In the Orlando area you can generally pay more to live in a nice area and a good school system comes with it.
