I'm not sure if it includes just using the certificate for drinks at the sand bar or not. they do have outdoor seating out by the sandbar where they do have full service menu's though. But if you are asking if you can use the certificate for just drinks, I would probably call them and ask first. 772-589-4345

The $25 Certificate states:
Minimum purchase of $35. 18% Gratuity added
prior to discount. Present prior to ordering. Excludes happy hour
menu, happy hour drinks, early bird specials and lobster nights.

I am so glad I found this thread. I am planning a trip for March of 2012 and I have gotten such great information from all of you. I do have one question and it may be that I missed the answer but I keep seeing OVIR and GVIR, what do those mean?

OVIR= Ocean View Inn Room
GVIR= Garden View Inn Room

Actually if you know which room to ask for, there are [at least 3 that I am aware of] garden view rooms w/a pretty good ocean view. As a matter of fact, I've been in a ocean view room before that was overlooking the pool, where I would have much rather had the garden view room with the ocean view. Generally, we'll just reserve garden view and then add a request of these specific rooms. I'd rather not post these (somewhat secret) room numbers--and hope that no one else will post them either, or I'll have a harder time getting them myself, but if someone would like to know, they can email me.

We were thinking of eating at Sonyas or Shutters when we arrive on 6/19.

When should we call to get an ADR??

Also..do they do anything special for birthdays at Vero Beach at either of those restaurants?
It's my mom's birthday on 6/19 and it's also Father's Day too.

TIA!!!!

Oh, this has been driving me crazy, slow connection. I talked to their IT and they were not much help. The guy told be they have too many on the server. I have been using my cell phone to access the internet and got up at 7am in with hopes that it would be better. Just be prepared, very frustrating.

Wow....that stinks. Maybe because it's Easter weekend ? Hope the wireless connection gets better. This is Disney....you would think stuff like this wouldn't be an issue. Have a great time at VB

We are seriously thinking about our first DVC vacation being at Vero in December! Thank you all so much for all the info in this thread!

It was hit and miss when we're there in October as well. I had to do an online course for 1 hr a day for the 5 days and it never seemed to work when I wanted to do it. I had to keep trying and it did work but it was spotty at best. No homework this time so spotty is fine by me lol

We were there in 2008 at Easter when they first put in the wireless system, no problems. Had no problems 1st week of April when we were there.

I'd call ASAP since this is Father's Day ! I think you could probably request a cake or cupcake or something be brought to the table for your birthday

Thanks! We called and made a reservation at Shutters for Father's Day. The CM asked if we would be interested in the Sunday Brunch at Sonya's but we said not at this time

...How is the Sunday Buffet?? We're thinking maybe we could do that when we arrive on 6/19 to kill sometime assuming our room isn't ready??
