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.

I have done the driving around thing to find a resturant that has a shorter wait. Now I am a little more high Tech and use my iPhone to do that. I am not kidding when I say that my wife and I have not been to a movie theater since sometime in the early 70's. I was a pioneer in home theater and to this day maintain one (two right now) in every home I had. No lines and I can pause the movie anytime I want. As for food, I prefer my BBQ over anything I find in a resturant so eating out is not a priority but something we do if we do not have to wait in line which is mostly off hours.
Now days we make our own entertainment experience and experiment with BBQ sauces and recipes. No lines at all. We enjoy hosting friends most of all as we find joy in conversation, a good bottle of wine and some good people to laugh with. If we go out to eat and the wait for a table is too long, we go right back home and fire up the grill and cook some meat. Not many movies worth seeing anyway. Gee, I am begining to sound like my father.
