Hi Everyone! I’m Rich Leopold, Sr. 👋

I’m excited to share an updated vision of our Disney-loving club right here in The Villages—The Goofy Villagers (TGV)!

What started with our very first meeting on May 2, 2016, as a simple idea has grown into something truly special—a vibrant, welcoming group built on friendship, laughter, and just the right amount of Disney magic.

✨ Our Vision for TGV

The Goofy Villagers is more than just a club—it’s a community where fun comes first, friendships flourish, and every gathering feels a little more magical than the last. We aim to create experiences that bring people together, spark joy, and keep that “kid-at-heart” spirit alive in all of us.

🎉 What Makes Us Goofy (in the Best Way!)

Here are just a few of the ideas that have shaped—and will continue to shape—our journey:

🚌 Group adventures to Walt Disney World and Disney Water Parks

🎤 Special guest speakers with insider Disney knowledge

🎄 Our legendary Goofy Christmas Party (yes… it really is that fun!)

🚢 Group cruises with a touch of Disney magic

🌐 A lively club website to share photos, events, and member connections

🤝 But most importantly… it’s about the people.

The laughter, the friendships, the stories, and the memories we create together are what truly make TGV special.

As we look ahead, our goal is simple:

Keep the magic alive, keep growing together, and never lose our Goofy spirit.

Welcome to the Goofy side of life—where the fun never stops! 🎉

~ Rich
