My wife and I are coming for a lifestyle visit in July. We know what to expect for heat. We’ve spent many July’s in Orlando with kids. We wanted to come during a less crowded time so we could figure out all the golf cart trails and take our time without ‘being in the way’ of others. Looking so forward to it.

[@user-di6kx8ns1y]

That is what my wife and I did, came in July. We moved from Las Vegas so we know what hot is. We really enjoyed driving the golf cart and exploring. We still explore even though we live here now.

[@MichaelTiffanyTVE]

Awesomeness! Great plan! We love FL in the summer. ☀️🌴 Yes it is hot and humid but that’s what AC and swimming pools are for. Hope you have an awesome experience on your lifestyle visit! Keep us posted! Thanks!

[@sunshinedaisy9879]

Michael & Tiffany, We love your channel! You are a loving couple that love life together! It shows so much! Very uplifting to watch. Thank you!

[@lanalohman8202]

Thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU to you TWO for sharing so much of The Villages with all of us. I loved every minute of the 5K. The Lake Sumter Landing Running of the Squares was my first 5K in The Villages also. Looking forward to many more. Hope you guys have the best anniversary ever. Cool square, cool 5k, cool golf carts, cool little restaurant but most of all cool people. I'm back in TN now but I will be coming to The Villages soon.

[@MichaelTiffanyTVE]

It was great meeting you! Thanks so much!

[@user-di6kx8ns1y]

We have his and hers Yamaha GC with the hard sides. We like that we can just close the doors in the rain and warmer in the winter, plenty of air flow in the summer. We live by SS and have driven our GC many times south. We have taken friends on what we call, pool hopping. We start heading south on Buena Vista all the way to Fenny stopping at four different pools. Then head over towards Rohan then north on Morris to our home. We pack a cooler with beverages and roll ups. MPG is around 43 MPG on both carts. See ya, Weible (Ybull) Village of Del Mar.

[@MichaelTiffanyTVE]

Awesomeness! We will test them out. How much did it cost to add the sliding doors? We plan on doing lots of pool hopping this summer. Thanks!

[@user-di6kx8ns1y]

@@MichaelTiffanyTVE I think the cost is 3500/4000 up charge for the hard sides.

[@MVMinTV]

It was an amazing 5k day! Congrats to All!! 🎉We enjoyed meeting you two during the walk. Team TVE will be 3 new members at the next one. Your videos remind us why we moved here and to get out and experience it all. Peace, Joy, and Health

[@MichaelTiffanyTVE]

The weather was perfect for the 5K! So nice to meet you too! Awesomeness! Look forward to growing Team TVE for the next 5K. Thanks!

[@bfn6ghh]

Test out Atomic Cool Karts in Wildwood. Since you don’t play golf this golf cart has Ac/heat windshield wipers, radio. Perfect for cruising. Be careful on lifted golf cart because of the tunnels. Also big tires are not allowed on the golf courses make sure you stick with regular golf tires especially for resale. You never know you might want to trade it in.

[@MichaelTiffanyTVE]

Will do! Thanks so much for the tips and suggestions. Good points to consider.

[@ggmelful]

Happy anniversary guys! Glad that the 5K went well! They definitely get better once your bodies get used to it - and like you said, the activity is good for you too! We are on our lifestyle visit now, and really liking it. People here are just so nice and friendly. Wife wants to buy a house like right now, but we'll see. Thanks again for sharing the video!

[@MichaelTiffanyTVE]

Thanks so much! Weather was horrible yesterday but absolutely perfect today (and for the next few days) for your lifestyle visit! Glad you are having a great experience! Good luck and have fun!

[@markryan3124]

Congratulations on your wedding anniversary and may you have many more together. Thanks for another great video and enjoyed seeing your many experiences. Rock on!

[@MichaelTiffanyTVE]

Thanks so much Mark!

[@dearocano6324]

Amazing how a golf cart can be same cost as a car

[@MichaelTiffanyTVE]

It’s crazy how expensive they have become the last few years. Lots of research before we shell out that much cash for a golf cart. Thanks!

[@cynthialewis4633]

Hi you two! It's Cindi. I had already registered for the race before you announced your team. I'll be a TVE team member for the next 5K. It was great meeting you both!! See you around the villages until then!

[@MichaelTiffanyTVE]

Hi Cindi! It was very nice meeting you! Awesomeness! Will keep everyone posted once the registration opens up for the next 5K in October. See you around TV! Thanks!

Hopping you two are living your dream in TV! Keep posting!

[@MichaelTiffanyTVE]

Thanks so much! We are loving this chapter of life here at TV! Wish we would have done it sooner. More videos to come.

[@everettbracken]

Great video guys! For what it's worth, I sell golf cars up in Atlanta, and the techs in our shop say to stay away from Evolution. They are cheaply made and it is hard to get parts for. I don't have any personal experience, but that is what they tell me. They are cheaper, but you may end up disappointed in the long run. Star also doesn't have a great reputation with our guys. The say the best is Club Car, then EZGO. If you want gas, then the Yamaha QuieTech is the best option. These three brands are the "big 3" and have the best reputation, therefore they are the most expensive. MadJax is a good brand that is not as expensive, but I don't think anyone sells them around TV yet.

[@MichaelTiffanyTVE]

Thanks so much for sharing the info. Will do lots of research and also check out the MadJax brand.

[@charlottebarty6900]

[@scottallemong5079]

Congrats on achieving your goal in the 5k. Just a note on the golf cart. It sounded like you went shopping outside TV because of the seat. None of the rentals have the "cushy" seats, however if you look at their new carts for sale, they all have them.

[@MichaelTiffanyTVE]

Thanks so much! Great point about the seats. Lots of research, shopping and test drives to do before we make a final decision on a particular golf cart brand and dealer.

[@JohnRocker-vr9hj]

Go to Hidden Creek golf carts County Road 156 behind the ER Ray Hilliard is the owner, we just bought G5 4 seater a wonderful experience

Love your channel! You always find such fun things to do! That was a huge group running the 5K ! We'll definitely check out that restaurant when we visit. Are you planning to go to the Blueberry Festival?

[@markedwards5512]

Hello from Matthews...Re the carts, I'd be wary of the knobby tire noise. I also dont think those carts are for use on the golf course grass.

[@MichaelTiffanyTVE]

Hello! Yeah we are ruling out the ones with lift kits and knobby tires. They look awesome but not practical for our needs. Thanks!

[@cback94]

Hey guys… great video, congrats on your 5K🤗… just wanted to give you my thoughts on the golf cart situation.. definitely do your research before you buy, don’t be afraid to look at some other models other than the norm.. ( Yamaha, ez go, club car etc…) I came across Evolution brand like your looking at… fell in love with the D5 , 4seat, forward facing,👍 Watched a bunch of videos, reviews,…. etc.. this is the cart I wanted 😎, now my brother and I bought a pre owned home in village of Sanibel, closed dec. 15, and immediately listed it for rent, starting Jan.1.. got a couple ( snow birds) that just left end of march..🤪 So we are in town for the week, getting ready for next renters, in the meantime, checking out dealers looking for a evolution shop to look at my dream cart live, hands on, and hopefully, drive away with a new cart… first dealer we stopped at, talking to owner, told him I wanted to see his evolution cart.. told me, we are no longer a evolution dealer…😞 After talking with him more, he told us why they are no longer with evolution, Told us about the bad customer service, they had, really hard time getting parts… I mean, 8 or 9 months to get parts..☹ said he couldn’t run his business, trying to sell carts without the help from manufacturers… so they dropped them.. talked to 3 other shops that day, they all said the same thing.. lousy customer service..so do your research.. If you’re still interested in the four seats forward setup.. I found a shop that are building their own version of the D5 , will be ready in a few months, taking deposits now.. Custom Drive..13903 Hwy. 441 Lady Lake.. ask for Kevin. Best of luck 🙄

Wee just found your channel and we love it! You really show the best parts of living in the Villages. Off topic question... Do the Villages ever provide a group bus transportation to Disneyworld or Universal? We look forward to retiring there ourselves. Thanks again....

[@MichaelTiffanyTVE]

Thanks! Glad you found us! I think some of the Disney clubs do group events and excursions to DW and other theme parks.

[@kathmann7402]

Michael would you please tell me what brand GoPro you use? And does it overheat? Thanks! Great video!

[@MichaelTiffanyTVE]

GoPro Hero 10 (also have a GP 7). Yes it can and does overheat from time to time. It’s not our main camera but it is great for events like this. We might buy the new GoPro Hero 13 when it is released later this year. Thanks!

[@kathmann7402]

Thank you!@@MichaelTiffanyTVE

[@anneritchie1961]

With the four seater, parking at the squares becomes problematic. Unable to park straight in.

[@MichaelTiffanyTVE]

Definitely something to consider. Thanks!

[@njstan8188]

At Disney races, the slower you are, the further back and start later. Fast runner, you’re in the front.

[@MichaelTiffanyTVE]

The Disney races are huge! Most of the fast runners start at the front for the TV 5Ks then the joggers and walkers line up behind them.

[@njstan8188]

@@MichaelTiffanyTVE I know. My son ran the half marathon one day and the marathon the very next day.

[@arnovan2010]

Not sure why they call it running of the squarse lol. Should be called Crawling of the squares 🙂

[@MichaelTiffanyTVE]

😂 Very valid point. A lot more walkers than runners. They would probably have even bigger turnouts if they did not use the word “running”. I think that may scare some people off that just want to get up, get active, walk, participate and be part of the fun.

[@laurataylor4976]

Love seeing everything you 2 are up to. When attaching pictures in your videos, could you leave them up a little longer. Need more time to focus on the photo before you take it down. 😊

[@AmyT967]

As usual, we love your videos 🍭we think you guys should buy a gas golf car, always reliable - period! We’re coming for our lifestyle visit in May and of course we’re developing our list of many questions but wanted to ask you a few if that’s ok….are Amazon/Chewy deliveries actually delivered to your front door or nearest mail station? Also, if we choose to put our garbage in a garbage can/tote, is that allowed? Last question is what do your neighbors do with doggie waste? We’ve read a bit about doggie waste buried digesters - wondering if these are allowed? We live in WI and put our doggie waste in a bagged, small steel waste can, kept outside and then we put the bag of doo out in garbage bin on pick up days. Ideas and/or thoughts much appreciated 🌴- thank you, Amy & Matt

[@MichaelTiffanyTVE]

Thanks so much! Yes, Amazon and anything sent UPS or FedEx is delivered right to your house. If it is shipped via USPS then you will receive it at your neighborhood postal station. Lot of great questions that we will be doing a follow up video on in the future. Thanks!

[@arnovan2010]

Get a Yamaha Quiet Tech you will be much happier. Don't get one that is too tall you will never fit the tunnels up north.

They need to something about the traffic backup that it caused, what if someone has an emergency or time constraint for something. They also should let the runners start first or have walkers on one side. I noticed some runners having a difficult time getting through th3 runners. What did Tiffany mean when she asked you if you wanted your sound all the way in the back of the golf cart? Happy Anniversary!🎉 I celebrate my 76th birthday on the 14th.
