Yes, they used to give all kinds of goodies when people came for the Lifestyle visit. Steak and Lobster dinner at Katie Belles, movie tickets, certificates to others restaurants and funny money. Depending on what you spent to rent the place you were staying, they would get Village dollars to spend at places in the Villages. That's when people would come for 1 Lifestyle visit. Now they want to come to 3 or 4 Lifestyle visits.
Like many other things in the world, that was a long time ago.
That famous saying, "all good things must come to an end."
