I, personnaly, don't have an "us vs them" attitude. I really have made some wonderful friends that only rent for 3 months in the high season.

We do alter our time schedule during Jan-March. We add 5-10 min on our traveling time. Going out to eat is less during that time simply because there are a lot more people during that time.

As we all know, there are those that are territorial. always have been..always will be. There will always be those that dislike the more crowded time of the year.

I grew up in a resort town. It was always nice to get our town back after summer, and winter. We did not disuade those that came. They generated a lot of needed revenue. As is the case here in the Villages during high season.

The Villages has something for everyone, even things to complain about if one is inclined to do so. I look on the brighter side of things. It is a lot less stressful.
