My husband is going to call the shuttle company, but I thought I'd also post here. When you get an Orlando airport shuttle from Lake Sumter Landing, and drive your car to the square, is there an area you can leave your car without getting a ticket for overnite parking?

Keith has been in our newly purchased home for 2 weeks. He's flying up to our sold house in DC next week in the evening, picking up the U-Haul the next morning, and we'll then both be driving down to be permanent residents in TV. He would like to drive to Lake Sumter Landing, leave the car overnite, get the shuttle to the airport, we'll be back in a day and 1/2 to pick up the car.

Can we leave it at Lake Sumter Landing without it getting towed or a ticket?
thx!,Suzanne

Villages Transportation can pick you at your home. When you return, a cab will be waiting at the bus station to take you home. I think it costs $30 round trip. Better to leave the car in your garage.

My awesome neighbor gave me a ride to the van last month.

Thanks for all the responses! Looks like we'll go w/Keith getting picked up at the door, and leaving the car in the garage. And looks like we'll have to start expecting "service" and "nice" to be the norm. Don't want to impose on the neighbors yet, but can you believe that a couple already told us about their xmas party where everyone in the neighborhood is invited, and it's already on our calendar?

Sure, we'll have that starry look in our eyes for awhile after living here, but can you blame us?! I bike commute in DC and, on my way in on Friday, rode by 5 people ( 3 walkers, 2 cyclists), and NONE responded to my "good morning!". I've been practicing my greetings for the past yr, knowing how outgoing and cheery everyone is in TV. : )

This is SO true. I took a walk around the block last time I was at the house, and got waved and "helloed" to by a dozen people either on their front lanais or walking their dogs. One guy was working on his garden and I said hello, and he said something back but I didn't hear him. So I approached, and he told me about his garden. I told him I'm the new kid in town and how hard it was to figure out what kind of furniture to get on a limited budget.. he gave me a tour of the inside of his house, and pointed out that pretty much every piece of furniture he owned, was from a consignment shop.

I was gobsmacked, really - inviting a perfect stranger into your home to show off the furniture. What was weirder was - I gladly complied! The Villages is a whole nother world, where "nice" is a requisite. Very refreshing.
