The Easter or Spring vacation time is in late March and early April. Yep, lot of families will be visiting Gammy and Gampy. There will be longer waits at restaurants and more small kids at the squares being forced into "dancing" with Gammy.

Hey, it only lasts a couple of weeks. They are families. Be glad they want to visit!

Watch out on the multi-modal trails, though, for the teens who take Gampy's golf cart! Gampy better have very good liability insurance! Memorize the phone numbers of Morgan & Morgan, just in case. (:

Hah! You think you're old....I have been trying to figure out when and why people started writing and saying high school degree instead of high school diploma........

I guess I just strayed from the topic again......but, hey, somebody said "high school" and there I went.......

Never mind.

Just as this is the time of year you would like to come it is also the time many others would like to come. What is normal for The Villages? A hard question to answer but I would say that you should come whenever you wish and you will enjoy it. Each season has its own special flavor. That is why so many of us love tombe here full time.

This is my experience also. Family pools are very crowded, all the squares will have more children dancing, restaurants more crowded and of course, young people driving grandpa's golf cart. But the good news is, its over in a couple of weeks and then we get quiet again as people leave to go north again.

Jan 1st till the end of March, is when TV reaches full population.

The middle of April is when the population drops about a third and things go back to an easier pace, as the restaurants and traffic, become less problematic. At least, some people think so.

Anytime is a good time to visit TV but if you want a more leisure experience, I would wait until the snowbirds have left. It doesn't bother me as there are more people to enjoy being with, but some people prefer TV better, when snowbirds are not here. IMHO

We would rather see it during the busy snowbird season since that is the time of year we plan on being there the most.
