How difficult is it to get VB in late AUG. ?

[eeyoresmom]

Thinking of spending 2-3 days there in Aug if it's possible. Is it easy to get to and from WDW ? How would you rate it for kids 10 and 12 ? TIA

We have never had a problem getting into VB at the 7 month mark. We were just there in late August ourselves. Takes about 2 hours to and from WDW. I think it is great resort for all ages because everything is within a 2 minute walk and you can easily break up your day... like go down to the beach for an hour, up to the pool for an hour, back to the room, and so on. FYI here is my default info on things to do.

The resort provides daily activities for kids & adults with the best CMs of all the resorts.

They have a nice pool & Lighthouse w/spiral waterslide, a REALLY cool water play area for the real young kids, a hot Jacuzzi, miniature golf, exercise room, ping pong, bike rentals, The Green Cabin Room (bar/restaurant) has 2nd floor covered deck that has a fantastic view of the ocean and is a nice place to relax with your favorite beverage. It also has live entertainment in the evenings. At night they have a campfire / s’more roast (bring the Cutter Advanced to fend off the No-see-ums). You can rent a small catamaran or jet-ski for ocean fun. Across the street they have a lake, picnic tables, nature trail, tennis courts, and basketball courts. Disney built a private tunnel under the road to access this area. And of course they have the ocean and great waves for boogy boarding.

Five minutes away is Pelican Island and a wildlife education center. Also minutes away is Sebastian Inlet were the Indian River meets the ocean. There are many good fishing spots around the inlet, and there are river excursions where you can see dolphins, manatee, and tons of other types of wildlife. About an hour away is Cape Canaveral, (where the Magic and Wonder dock), the Kennedy Space Center (with museums,tours, and shows), and Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge with walking and driving tours.

Have a great time!

June/July/August are not peak season for Vero. By late August, I believe hurricane season has started. You should not have trouble at 7 months.
