Go to any regional rec center (Lake Miona or Colony Cottage are probably closest for you) and you fill out a form (take you resident ID with you)....need their name, address, phone, date of birth. They cannot be residents of Lake, Sumter, or Marion counties in FL. TV will print the guest ID on the spot. You can also request it online (
www.districtgov.org has a link) and they ask for a 3 day lead time to issue it. Also, if you do it online, you are limited to requests within the next 30 days (i.e. you couldn't give them Thanksgiving dates). It works pretty smoothly. Good luck with all the newbie stuff....it is an adventure.
