I was actually there. I took the golf cart and parked outside the main entry across the street to watch from a distance, with several other people (we mostly stayed in our carts at a reasonable distance from each other, and most of us were wearing masks).

There were enough people NOT wearing masks going through, and once they got inside, that anyone who MIGHT be worried about getting sick, should not have gone at all. There was very limited social distancing, and the crowds didn't seem to be concerned at all. I watched some folks being dropped off, and around 15 minutes later saw the same group of people in the grounds area taking their masks off.

So even the ones who came in with masks, weren't keeping them on.

What's worse, is that this was a public event, and hundreds of people were shuttled in from outside the Villages. So sure, maybe the Villages itself has limited COVID spread - but Orlando is a hot spot and there were people bussed in from there for this.
