The 2009 Vero Beach Adoration and INFO thread

[DisDaydreamer]

Oh Boy, oh boy, oh boy! A new thread to join! This is kinda like the cruise meet threads. Well. Not really. But sorta.


Question - Are there toasters in the OVIR's??? (Wondering if we can do bagels...but I gotta have 'em toasted so I can melt the butter!)

Hope already answered your question, but just wanted to express my excitement for your excitement..

It's going to be great....

I have our brochure from Orchid Island Pizza, although it is a year old at this point.

Thanks so much. Great to see that they have more than just pizza. I'm not a big pizza fan and would probably prefer pasta if they have it. Thanks for the info!

We'll be there in 113 days. Still sounds so far away, but I have a WDW trip in March to get ready for. This thread has been very helpful in starting to plan for VB so thanks to everyone.

This will be our first DVC trip without the Disney shows or attractions. (We did DCL with points last year) It will be interesting to find out how magical it can be.

Dory,

They do have pasta and it is very good, along with the sausage and peppers, but the best thing that Orchid Island Pizza has to be the Garlic Knots, at least for our family. I usually walk over for lunch and bring it back to the pool area, you can take the sidewalk in front of the resort or even walk the beach to get there.

We are 58 days away from leaving we can't wait.

Thank you Tom. I think we would love the garlic knots! My pizza loving boys will be happy too.

TLPL - I understand what you mean. There is a little apprehension with taking a VB trip when you are used to being at WDW. We are taking the youngest to WDW for Spring Break, so we are ok with the May trip being just relaxing. I think my college boys will enjoy that it is not a park trip--especially one of them who has had an especially stressful year. I'm happy for them that they can just do what they want and I won't be begging them to go into the park with us.

Don't remember anyone talking about Bobby's, here's their website my DH found today.

www.boppysbeachmarket.com

Sounds like they are under new management. We usually make our way there while we are at VB. They are right down by Orchid Pizza.

Is Boppy's within walking distance too? Sounds like it if it's by Orchid Pizza. I have a feeling I'm going to be doing a daily walk for the family!

 

[MiaSRN62]

Thanks for that link dort ! I don't recall seeing them, but then again, when we were down there last Aug, we were SO busy moving my dd into college and we usually just kept driving back and forth from there. I'm adding Bobby's to the front page of this thread.

I remember there being a little store there but never wanted to venture inside. Perhaps the inside was better then the outside... or the new management.

I was not impressed with this place. Has alot of liquor for sale...I would never buy any food from it. Just doesn't have that clean feeling to me. Its more like a grab and go place for fisherman, etc. Stick with regular establishments for food!

Just bumping back up to the first page, hope all is well with everyone, I was in the U.P. of Michigan yesterday for the night and when I got up it was 18 below on my temp gage. At the gas station a gentleman told me the wind chill was minus 39, Vero can't come soon enough for us.

Hi all ! I'm in WDW right now....sitting in our SSR room 2505 with an AWESOME view of DD ! Move over to POP tommorrow, and it's gonna be tough to leave this room and view.

We drove down and slept overnight in Waltersboro, SC. Woke up to 20 degrees in SC this morning at 8 am ! Disney is chilly too. I'm guessing around 50 degrees right now ? Everyone is wearing coats/jackets.

Well....I'll be back on Wed night......keep up the thread

[MiaSRN62]

Welcome to OUR world... You must not speak too loudly, and not cheer too wildly.... You are one of us now.... We know you... We know all of us...

 

[Anal Annie]

Morning boys and girls!! Question for ya....do I need to make ADR's at VB for our trip in mid-late August or will we be able to "walk in" to the restaurants w/o too much of a wait??? Did I read that the restaurants there take the TIW card? Is that for all of them or just one? Do I need to visit the restaurant boards for opinions on the restaurants there?

 

[Belle and Rella's Dad]

Annie,

We have only been during Spring Break so I can't address August accurately, but the resort has always been sold out when we have been there so it can't be any worse. We had a party of 15 last year without an ADR and had to wait only 15 minutes at 6:30 at night for Shutters, two years ago we did make ADRs for Sonyas when they had their seafood buffet, but only because of 12 in our group.

As far as the DDE or TIW card, it is available for use in Sonyas, Shutters and the Green Cabin, and it by far pays for itself in the GC alone.

Have fun we are down to 54 days!!!

Tom
