We were there over Mothers Day one year and spent half the day driving around looking for a restaurant where the wait was less than an hour, even driving down to Leesburg. During the season some of the pools have to turn people away due to maximum occupancy limits.
We were there this past Christmas and New Years and it was crowded every where we went.
Your Realtor was telling the truth in my opinion. There's a lot of adjustments that we'll have to make but we expect that they'll be off set by the nice new home we'll be getting, the activities we will be able to participate in and the people we'll be meeting. We're golfers.

Interesting....I've never had to wait at the movies, but then again, I don't go during the times the kids are on vacation or right when a new movie opens. I also tend to go to a very early showing when I go.
Coming from the Cape Cod area, then the San Francisco area and finally southern CA, These crowds seem small compared to the other areas I've lived in.
Restauants can be crowded during the "high" season, but they aren't crowded all day so we, us and our friends, just adjust when we'll eat. Prior to retiring, the weekends were when we and our friends would be out and about, now every day is the weekend. After 4 years of being retired, I'm still trying to realize and recognize that...
Churches are crowded? That's a good thing!
