October or November
 

This year, because of prior commitments and the holidays, we can escape to TV for only one extra month outside of High Season. Would you recommend a visit to TV in October or November? I've been looking at historical weather data, is October always hot? I've heard November is THE month to be in FL. And p.s. would we be lousy parents if we chose to be in TV over Thanksgiving? (yes, yes, I'm looking for justification to ditch my kids/grandkids :icon_wink:)Thanks!

November

October would be a little less crowded but would probably go with the cheaper month.

November, easy one.

November, most didn’t Thanksgiving last year, so zoom dinner. November is the best temperature during the day, and little cooler at night.

A Zoom dinner. I like the idea:icon_wink:

So the prices hike in November?

November, last few years there has been a lot of 90's on October, rents are little more in November if you rent.

We own. But don't get the advantage nearly enough.

We've been there a couple times in Oct and the locals swore the stifling 90 degree October days were an anomaly. 2 years in a row so hot you couldn't leave the AC. We cut our stay short by a week bc it was just too hot to stay. So are hot Oct days an anomaly? or is it the usual for TV?

Let’s hope it’s hot, it is Florida.

Prices and crowds hike everywhere in Fl in Nov. Holiday season

We skipped the Thanksgiving dinner back north last year. What did we miss? Hours spent on shopping for groceries, hours spent on preparing the food, about a half hour eating the food, Hours spent cleaning up the dishes and putting everything back away, watching everyone nap for awhile and then leave to go to their other side of family. I love my family but it’s time to pass the torch! My point is do what YOU want to do and don’t worry about it! P.S. I vote for both October and November to be enjoying life in The Villages.

November is my vote for you and how about you suggest everyone comes to visit you in TV if they want a Thanksgiving reunion?!

Just wondering if you wrote that from inside my head? THAT is exactly what I think about the holiday. Time my children started their own family traditions, and they can invite us to join theirs.

Ha! HaHa! Inviting everyone to my TV house... My TV home is 1200 sq feet and my immediate family is 23.
