All the reasons that you have stated are very valid IMOP. On Sat we went as well to the Chili cook off and Garden show. We got there around 11 AM and got a golf cart spot in Sweetbay parking lot. Still way open at that time. Went through the entire place and left at 1:30 PM. Had a really great time until I heard the woman behind me complain about all the "wide bodies" that she had to go around. ( I think it's funny that people that can't hear well speak loudly to the next person thinking no one else can hear them)
The Colony Health Care place I have yet to sign on with but your concern will be a question that I will have for them!
Waiting at restaurants: When we lived in CA, we waited for a min. of 1 hour for a seat in a restaurant especially in Newport Beach. Here, I look at it as a way to talk to others sitting around me. I love to talk and ask peoples opinions on all sorts of things so I find it fun.
So since you the OP are full timers, just wait 8 more weeks and all will be better for you.
I love it here no matter what the season, the wait, the crowds or whatever. I have found my thrill here in TV.
Peace.
