OP you do make good points and yes I am the one who suggested eating dinner at 4pm. We skip lunch and then after dinner enjoy the music in the squares. Flexibility is the answer to the winter crowds. We've been here 3 1/2 years and I'm sure other full-timers who have been here longer will agree that this winter's weather has been unusually cold for such a long continuous period which eliminates all the outdoor seating availability at the country clubs and restaurants. Less seating + more people = frustration and longer waits. At least we didn't have to dig our way out to get there.
