Lifestyle Visits
The real problem with the Creekside/Lake Sumter Landing Lifestyle Visits is that you do not get a good picture of the neighborhoods or (usually) the house you would eventually live in. When we came for our 2nd LSV, we told the realtor that we would only stay in a neighborhood, in the type of house we were thinking of buying. That way, we could tell whether the home was too small (or large) etc. for our needs. Our agent was wonderful and set us up in a home in the neighborhood where we now live (Hemingway).
Not sure what's going on with the meal plan. I know you're probably trying to save $$$ but try venturing outside of the LSV choices. Ask the locals what they recommend. There are many, many good-to-great restaurants here.
It's my understanding that the rental carts are calibrated to the 19.2 mph speed limit, while owned carts (and especially the street-legal low-speed vehicles, or LSVs) may not be. Being able to go faster is a mixed blessing-if you're ticketed over the speed limit the ticket is pretty costly.
Yes, the Lifestyle Visits program is supposed to lead to sales but if the sales staff does not follow up aggressively, I'm not sure whether that will ever change. Maybe the abuses are what led to the cutbacks?
