Also, what kind of shopping is available in Clermont now? We are definitely excited about the Costco as that and TJ’s are the two stores we miss the most after moving here, but for other shopping we’ve been going up to Lady Lake and really don’t like the drive or congestion up there. So far the only places we’ve gone via turnpike is WDW and a quick stop at Costco in Orlando after a day at Epcot. Hated that Costco, but I was exhausted when we stopped there so maybe that influenced my opinion.
I drive it every Sunday morning to attend church in Winter Garden - very little street traffic that early on a Sunday morning, I live i north Richmond, so I go Meggison to 44 to 301 to Turnpike - if I have no red lights I can get to turnpike in about 5 Minutes.
