We have been visiting Disney World for around 30 years. We had seen The Villages listed when they did the weather reports, but never really knew anything about it. This past February we visited the Orlando area with the intention of looking for a place to move to. That was pretty much a wasted trip. A friend of ours, that lives in Orlando, mentioned The Villages although she had never been there herself. We returned to Orlando the last week of April and went with our friend to visit TV. We only did the trolley tour on that Tuesday. My wife and I returned on Sunday and met with a Realtor and went through several houses. We told him some of our wants and don't wants and told him we would be back on Thursday, May 6, to look some more. That was when we found the spot on which we plan to build our house. We are in the process of selling our house here in VA now and as soon as it's sold, we're heading to TV and will hopefully be renting a house of some type until our house is built. I don't know if this counts as our first visit or our third visit. You decide. We've never actually spent the night there yet. Sometimes you just gotta take a chance.
