good post--something to see

How do they get handicapped patrons to the Sharon from the parking lot. I was off site for a while. Do they have a shuttle or valet service? How is it working out?

I suspect some enjoy the restaurants, the entertainment, the ice cream and the social interaction. The great thing about this place is everyone has choices and opinions and we all follow what works for us.....which doesn't work for everyone.

It failed, just as predicted right here.

Did anyone say why it failed? not enough drivers because everyone arrives at the same time, too many drivers because not that many handicapped drivers, too expensive,
thank-you

As with many things Villages, we want it, we want it....HOW MUCH ARE THEY CHARGING....get rid of it, get rid of it.

Was never part of the herd mentality--this is why we will never go on the new cruise ships--used to love the old days when cruises & trans-atlantic were intimate & exclusive

Would you feel differently if you didn't have a cart? I know several folks who don't own one.

Don't own a cart & never will--IMHO--they're death traps , when not on a golf course, which they were designed for

Why can't they park in the parking lots ? That is where 95% of the cars are parked now. Now the handicap issue will come up next. I say there isn't enough parking spots in the entire square to accommodate the amount of placards issued around here - look at the amount of golf carts with handicap sleeves.

So it failed because it was too expensive. My hunch is that unless the driver and the passenger were both handicapped the driver would drop off the passenger and park and walk back. That's what I have done many times I was pushing a wheelchair for my mother or a baby carriage. Who hasn't.

If the show starts at 7:30 and everyone that wants valet service at arrives at 7pm, how could it succeed?

A good drop off point for the squares is the back of the real estate office in Sumter and Brownwood in the lobby. I don't remember SS. Since everyone arrives randomly, not just before show time it's harder to predict how well a valet would do.
