You won the Vero beach view lottery!!!! Absolutely gorgeous. I really love the layout of those villas.

5 Judys

Ok - now I am editing to add some comment after I read the update! The villa looks lovely! I am at the moment falling in love with the look of the one-bedrooms. Not good as my points aren't really that many!! (am I going crazy or was there once again a huge smiley change - I now have to go to the extended list to get this one???)

And the view is quite wonderful! How large is the deck? Can you sit out there and enjoy the ocean? I think I would be very tempted to just stay there with all the amenities of my room behind me!

The card for Lauren is great! I was hoping for something like that when we were at WDW for Katharina's birthday, but I think she did not miss it. Sometimes it is difficult to not be disappointed if things don't happen which one has read on the boards about...

Great suite!!!

I love the decor and I adore the view! The turtle tiles in the kitchen are awesome. I also love the painted chest of drawers (didn't want to try to spell armoire)

I think you will all be very happy there.

I saw the 5 obvious Judy's, but since that is taken, I will go with six, including the picture with sandals. I don't know who hte sandals belong to, but it is not Lauren. But I am too lazy to go back to see if there are feet in previous updates to verify.

6.

Great views! And a pretty big suite! I'd like to be there right now, sipping a cool drink and taking it all in...

Great photographs too! What's the deal with the mail?

Six Judy's........the four obvious ones, the white sandals, and the reflection of her head in the microwave in picture 19 of the update.........

Nice update and the rooms at Vero Beach remind me a lot of those at Hilton Head. I was waiting to see the inside of the rooms since the similarity to HHIR was my initial thought from the last update when James was at the door.

Although a little late, I concur with 5 Judy's!

Me too 5 judys , very sneaky the flip flop shot but I checked and Lauren I believe it was had on blak ones so I claim an eagle eye point !!!
Now I am going back to read the update and maybe find #6 0r #7!!!

 

[englishrose47]

7 Judy's Marv's micro wave plus the one with Judy looking in the bathroom there is a reflection of her shadow in the mirror !!!!!!!!

 

[englishrose47]

Okay now for the update. The suite is GORGEOUS and the view is superb !!! I could totally stay there !!!!!

 

[Flossbolna]

Ok - I am not sure if shadows count - but if they do, I say 6 Judys including Rosie's shadow. The microwave is Glen's reflection, he is taking the picture.

 

[marvali]

Shadow's better not count....I was jipped out of one in the infamous Judy shadow in the supposed mirror post. The microwave is at a 45 degree angle to Glenn so not his reflection, but it is aimed directly at the spot Judy is standing in the very next picture; carpet of waves pic.

Plus I copied the picture out and zoomed on it......definitely Judy's hair......

Refelections count and that is a reflection in a mirror !!!!! I will appeal to the rules committee !!!!

 

[vamassey1]

Beautiful Villa and excellent view. You did win the Villa Lottery.

Everyone looks very happy with the Villa.

Looking forward to hearing who actually got the Judy sightings right this time.

Nice view! Can't wait to read the rest about Vero Beach...

Well, the Rules Committee zoomed-in on whatever that is in the reflection in the microwave and they can't tell what it is. "Definitely Judy's hair" per Marv, is a major stretch. Actually, we super-zoomed in on the teapot and we think she is in the room, but appears to be more towards the kitchen area where I was taking the picture, not in the middle of the living room. So, whatever that is in the microwave isn't going to count as a Judy, but the Rules Committee agreed to give Marv an Eagle Eye point for being so....eagle eye-y.

That means that Magdalene gets the point for this round because yes, those are indeed Judy's feet in the picture of the carpeting, and then of course there are 4 more obvious ones. Congrats Magdalene!

Updated scores:

Sure did. I didn't realize it until we got inside.

They're very nice! I can understand your dilemma, they not only look nice but also have the added benefit of a kitchen and laundry, which the studio's don't have. We're planning on going to Aulani in a couple of years, just Judy and I, and I can't justify getting a bigger unit than a studio but I already know that we are reallllly going to miss having a kitchen and laundry.

(am I going crazy or was there once again a huge smiley change - I now have to go to the extended list to get this one???)

You're not going crazy...they're placed differently every time I log on. It's very frustrating.

It seems like the best thing to do is to memorize the coding of the ones you most commonly use.

And the view is quite wonderful! How large is the deck? Can you sit out there and enjoy the ocean? I think I would be very tempted to just stay there with all the amenities of my room behind me!

There's room to sit, yes, but with the vegation you wouldn't be able to see the beach -- probably more like the water out towards the horizon.

The card for Lauren is great! I was hoping for something like that when we were at WDW for Katharina's birthday, but I think she did not miss it. Sometimes it is difficult to not be disappointed if things don't happen which one has read on the boards about...

It was nice, but Spoiler Alert -- it was the last of the graduation-well-wishes for Lauren.

Great suite!!!

I love the decor and I adore the view! The turtle tiles in the kitchen are awesome. I also love the painted chest of drawers (didn't want to try to spell armoire)

I think you will all be very happy there.

It was a great suite. I'm afraid that if we ever go back, we'll be disappointed with anything less!

I'm glad you didn't attempt to spell armoire.

The decor is nicely beachy, with the colors and the turtle tiles and painted items.

Great views! And a pretty big suite! I'd like to be there right now, sipping a cool drink and taking it all in...

It was really nice, and we were very pleased.

Great photographs too! What's the deal with the mail?

When I made the reservation they asked if we were celebrating anything and I said that we were celebrating Lauren's graduation.

Nice update and the rooms at Vero Beach remind me a lot of those at Hilton Head. I was waiting to see the inside of the rooms since the similarity to HHIR was my initial thought from the last update when James was at the door.

I'd have to go back and look at a Hilton Head layout, but yeah they're probably the same. I forget -- have you been to Hilton Head?

It's up to your standards Rosie!

Refelections count and that is a reflection in a mirror !!!!! I will appeal to the rules committee !!!!

Reflections count, but not shadows.

Beautiful Villa and excellent view. You did win the Villa Lottery.

Everyone looks very happy with the Villa.

We loved our location! It was perfect.

Looking forward to hearing who actually got the Judy sightings right this time.

Oh, I'm sure the Rules Committee made everyone happy.

Nice view! Can't wait to read the rest about Vero Beach...

Thanks OurDogCisco and ! I hope you enjoy the TR.

That would be me , don't listen to Marv , no one else does

Your suite looks so nice!! And your view is fantastic! Everyone looks so happy

Arrival-time is always so much fun, isn't it?! We were so happy with our location and the view.

Where is Glenn to post my winning points !!!!

I'm not sure about that, but I just posted the updated scores.

 

[Flossbolna]

I finally got a point!! And I actually verified that it was Judy's feet before my first post - there are pictures that show both Marlene's and Lauren's feet, so I knew that neither of the two had white shoes.

The laundry is one thing that makes truly consider the one bedroom. My next trip might be longer as I am thinking of adding a cruise. So being able to do laundry in my own villa would be very convenient. The studios still have free access to a laundry room - but there you need to hand around while the stuff is in there.
