What advice can you give us? My husband doesn't like crowds (who does?) and I'm concerned he will get the wrong impression of wonderful TV. We might stay at a TV hotel for one or two nights. not looking to buy, but who knows? Are resale houses plentiful in December or not? what areas would be good to visit and what is good to stay away from in December. Can't wait!!
thanks!
May I suggest making your first trip the "Life Style Visit" arranged through The Villages. If it's still not too late to reserve the dates you want, they will put you up in a home near Sumter Landing town square, complete with a golf cart, bicycles and some discounts to golf and restaurants etc. The daily rate is better than a hotel and you really get the feel for the place in a 'typical home'. There's no pressure to buy anything but people around to answer your questions. In terms of crowds and lines, I won't comment. I'll just let you be pleasantly surprised. Welcome. Have Fun!
