I plan any excursions to avoid rush hour traffic which means I go out really early or really late. You can work around all the business, and I do enjoy seeing my snow bird friends, but it is very busy and crowded at that time of year.
I agree....I lived in a very large city area and felt less crowded then I do here from October to May Tee times are hard to get, resturant waits too long, town square too crowded, stores seem to run out of certain inventory and The Villages is not yet finished. And as The Villages increases its population so does the surrounding area which adds to this problem. And on top of all that you have the tourist aspect (renters, residents 'guests,etc) and you really swell the ranks. Its the price you pay for florida living
