There aren't any little kids living in the Villages, and Halloween isn't a school holiday. Most parents will want their kids trick or treating in their own neighborhoods. Though up north we sometimes had problems with kids actually getting bused to our neighborhood, total strangers, some not even bothering to wear costumes (that's how we knew they were total strangers) expecting us to shell out money not only for the kids who actually live there, but for the kids who don't.
Eventually it got bad enough that many of us shut our light off for Halloween and encouraged families with kids to participate in the "Trunk or Treat" festivities in the High School parking lot instead of going door to door.
