It is definitely worth going to and there is tons of information available about the island and surrounding areas. There are also tours and lectures given from here as well. We went to a sea turtle walk (which actually met at the Westin) and an alligator lecture. While on the turtle walk we...

Still VCRs when we were there at Thanksgiving.

When we went to Vero last summer, we flew into West Palm Beach. It was cheaper than MCO and it was a shorter drive (about 1 1/2 hours). Melbourne is about 45 min away and being a smaller airport, airfare into here could possibly be higher. You'll want a car regardless of where you fly into.

We didn't receive our planner or Winter VM. I called MS at the beginning of February about the planner (figured VM wasn't that big of a deal) and received it about a week later. Winter VM is online (even though it show summer '04 in the box). If you go through to look at other issues...

The easiset solution of all is to charge $8 to park at BW & DTD and be able to get free parking with a purchase of a certain $$ amount at any of the shops in those areas - or if you are an onsite guest. That would eliminate most of the abuse in both of these areas. I understand why people park...

Well, 2 studios would ensure that everyone would have their own bed & there would be 2 bathrooms - which is a huge plus with 2 teenage girls; however, I would be concerned about not getting 2 studios close to each other. I would think MS could link the reservations and make a note that you...

We were assigned a HA GV at OKW in July '03. I believe the main reason we were assigned one was because our top request (other than NS) was to be close to the HH. We were given the GV closest to the HH. One category you forgot was for HH or VB. When staying at HH in a 1br or studio, you...

We also didn't receive our guidebook. I called MS a couple of weeks ago to let them know and I received one a week later - nothing exciting. We never received our Vacation Magic either. Received our dues statement right on time though - go figure.

We have eaten at Kingfisher's twice and had good food and service both times. They offer a 10% discount to those staying at Disney's resort. I have seen reports to the contrary, so it does seem to be hit & miss. Scott's Fish Market (also a 10% discount) is right over the bridge to the right...

Those are good sites, unfortunately neither have the rates for the off-site locations. I like to keep track of our break-even mark. So, I really liked when this information was available on the "old" website. When we were at HHI last, I asked the front desk what the current rates were. The CM...

I have T-mobile and haven't had problems with service.

When my sister and I "share" our points (ie, she books x nights with her points and I book the remaining with mine), even though we link the reservations and tell MS what we are doing, we still have to check out and back in. We haven't had to move though and it hasn't affected T&T. I've not had...

We booked a 1 bdrm at HH for this Thanksgiving just before the 7 mo window opened and got the second to last one for Wed, Thurs & Friday. Saturday was much more open, so we waited until the 7 mo window to use our OKW points for that one night. So this year, when the 7 mo. window opened, there...

We have bought direct through Disney and from Timeshare Store and have not ever received any invitations for other timeshares. Do you belong to any hotel chain rewards programs? That may be the source.

I received a pop-up when I clicked on the link. The pop-up indicated opening Wednesday. Regardless of when they reopen, I am very glad to hear they are reopening and soon. We ate there twice when we were at Vero and really enjoyed it.

We eat the majority of our meals in our room. We usually eat better breakfasts in our room on vacation than we do at home! We usually have waffles/pancakes, omlets, bacon & eggs or biscuit & gravy. At home it is usually just cereal or poptarts. Dinners in the room are always something...

Hurricane season runs from June - November. That's a pretty big chunk of the year to not plan a vacation anywhere a hurricane may hit. We always go in the summer and will continue to do so. I figure odds are on my side that a hurricane won't hit either HH or WDW during the week that I am there.

This storm is twice the size of Andrew and Charley (individually, not combined!). While yes, paths are unpredictable, hurricane force winds are extending 80 miles out from the eye. If the eye came ashore at West Palm Beach, Vero would still experience hurricane force winds. Storm path...

I just read an update on a Florida site that has Frances coming ashore just south of Vero Beach on Sat. afternoon. Earlier today they were predicting a hit near Ft. Pierce to the south (although not that much further south). We were just at VB at the beginning of August. It is a beautiful...

I love the laundry tablets, but couldn't find any at Walmart when I was at Vero a couple of weeks ago - I forgot to buy some before we left home. I ended up buying the smallest (which wasn't really small) & cheapest liquid detergent I could find since I knew I wasn't going to take it home with...
