Peak season in Jan thru March brings more visitors and traffic. Seniors have time to arrive very early at popular events so plan accordingly. Parking is limited at the squares. Planning for large events definitely was not on the radar. All TV can do is encourage golf carts so two can park in one space.
If you are a swimmer or diver, pools are shallow in TV. Only two that I know of are deep enough for those 5’5” and more to do water aerobics in: Mulberry and Laurel. Pools in the new home areas toward the south are 3’6” - shallower than above ground pools back home. No indoor pools at all. I mention this because we left two regulation size pools with deep ends back home and expected at least a few down here. We maintained two pools for years, so don’t even mention building or buying one unless it comes with a pool boy/gal.
Golf is plentiful, just plan ahead. Maintenance can be an issue, but with crowds that is expected.
