Can someone find out about the pin trading activity at VB? It's my new addiction and I want to know if CM trade pins there or not and also pin trading sessions and stuff. Please help! thanks!

TLPL....
We were at VB for 8 nights in mid August 2008. There was pin trading on two afternoons we were there. Both were at 4:30 pm in the lobby. They were on Wed and Fri. Hope this helps !

MiaSRN62 are you whites road or 4th street pool neighborhood?

We will be at VB for our first trip 6/28-7/3. We have a 6 year old and an 8 1/2 year old. Any recommendations for two lively kids? They are looking forward the pool slide and mini golf.

ARe the bugs really bad? Both of my children are bug magnets and get awful bites. I will have repellant and try to avoid dawn and dusk. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

well....here's the thing nappybeauty. My official mailing address is "Lansdale". But I am on the opposite side of 309. I'm actually in Montgomery Township. But my kids are still in the North Penn school district. They went to Bridle Path elementary, Penndale Middle and my youngest is in 10th grade at NPHS. But I know the White's Road pool area very well as my ds had lots of friends in that neighborhood when he was in middle school. In face, when my ds was like 16, he had a real nasty bike accident right at the Wendy's there. We weren't sure whether or not he'd need a skin graft for his cheek, but it healed nicely using a special bandage.
So anyway.....I'm about a 10 min drive from White's Rd. I'm over in the area near the New Britian Genuardi's shopping center. Believe it or not, the post office considers that Lansdale. If I get a package delivery, I have to cross over 309 to pick it up from the post office despite the fact that the Montgomeryville post office is a mere 30 second drive down the road...go figure

You guys have been very active, thanks for the beer update and good luck Rob, you will have to let us know how it turns out. The Florida Brewing is good, I have had their Ebor City Gold and enjoy it very much.

I have a place to let everyone in on, we went here twice last year and had a blast, try to get a table out in the bar area where they have live music. It is the Riverside Cafe and its right under the 60 bridge, great sunsets.http://www.riversidecafe.com/

We are down to 5 weeks, 35 days from now we are out of here and on our way.

My son dated a girl from LC when he was in middle school and attended one of the Winter Formals there.

I was looking at the menu.....next to the food items are "single" numbers, 6, 8, 11 etc. Would these be the prices? Thanks for posting!

Thanks, Tom! This place looks great! Is it far from the resort?

I haven't kept up with this thread very well, but we leave in 2 weeks and 3 days! We'll be there for 2 days before heading over to DW. We have our beach chair/umbrella swap ressies in place and are ready to go!!! This will be our first trip to Vero Beach, and we are really looking forward to seeing everything!

 

[chickie]

One more question, if I may.

Could someone direct me to the latest updated swap listing? I just wanted to make sure that we are on both lists.
Thank you in advance!

 

[backyardponder]

Chickie, The list is on page 1 of
http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2000797

I see you on both lists.

 

[chickie]

Oh, Thank you, Thank you!

Vero noob here. Does anyone know or have a list of items for rent at Ebb and Flo rentals or a copy of a weekly schedule?

Believe it or not, we are 2nd guessing our decision to go to Vero. We have 2 active kids and a mom and dad who want to relax. Will there be enough to keep the kiddies occupied? Any suggestions are appreciated. The kids will be 8 1/2 and 6.

Thank you!

8.5 and 6 are perfect ages for VB. Lots of activities for those ages.

I don't think any other resort can offer mom and dad relaxation while watching their kids have a blast like VB. Seriously.

JMHO.

 

[TLPL]

So many activities all day, remind me of the DCL daily navigator.

I agree....it's the teens that I feel they're lacking in activities for. My kids can handle about 3 nights at VB before getting bored.

The day that Tropical Storm Faye hit---which was a BAD day----the lobby was alive with activities for little kids. But all the teens looked bored out of their minds. Keep in mind the lobby is one of the few places you can get WIFI and it was flooded with dozens of young kids and CM's playing games, singing etc. I left around 1 pm that day after being told they couldn't accomodate us another night (our flight was cancelled due to the storm). So maybe sometime after 1 pm the CM's did organize some activities for teens ? Not sure.
