I've been "following" and researching The Villages for several years, and it seems like people had the same concerns back prior to the 2nd town square being created.
I hope it doesn't get too bad because I'm still looking forward to the day we can move there.

I don't think the negatives you are hearing here are about the crowding/overcrowding but about certain peoples' attitudes about it, like they are special and everyone else should cater to them.
As you say, waiting in line or whatever is just an opportunity to encounter people you don't already know which in turn, just might lead to new friendships.
Once the "new" wears off, many places calm down. Everyone is always anxious to explore new territory. The more places we have access to, the lesser the crowding will be a problem. Of course, there are those (such as the ones I mentioned) that will always have a problem when things don't go their way. They just don't realize that
they are the problem...not the other way around.
Don't get discouraged. Just continue to look forward to being here. We're frogs and proud of it. We are thankful to our non-frogs because they are what keeps the wheels oiled during the off-peak times.
