Would love to know the water temp. too. We might be heading to Jupiter after the 20th and will see if we can any night or two while down there.

 

[Belle and Rella's Dad]

We are leaving tomorrow and can't wait to be there, I found this on the web about the current water temps, and it was last updated March 24th.

 

[AnnaS]

Thank you. I'll say water temperature (70s) a bit on the chilly side. Maybe it will warm up a bit more a month from now. We probably won't go in the ocean anyway - so we don't mind.

That certainly looks about normal for now. I can do 68 if the waves are good. Have a GREAT time Tom & family.

It will be considerably warmer in a month.

Hello my FRIEND... Maria, hope your hubby is doing well.... MB has gone from 50/50/5yrs to 90% likely cured. A Miracle of medicine. This is the prognosis once the radiation therapy and hormone therapy are done (both suck, really bad). To all who have survived it... you're amazing...

We are headed down from Joisey (where Spring is taking much too long) on April 12. We are me, DH, DD (5), and DS (almost 4). It will be a much anticipated first visit. Any thing we should not miss, or skip??

Anyone know if they have hair braiding onsite? It's almost a tradition for DD to get it done whenever we are on vacation. Do they supply swimming vests, DS will probably need one?

Didn't think I would ever say this, but looking forward to putting on shades and the dreaded BATHING SUIT.

Thanks in advance!

P.S. I hope no one recommends the Pirate Character dinner, it's on a Monday and we won't be there yet :-(

This is so very awesome and wonderful news Rob.
We're all so very, very happy for the both of you!

Thanks Rob and great news about MB, we are on the road as soon as our oldest is done with her high school soccer game. Safe travels everyone.

Maria, thanks for the comment, 7 years of Vero for Spring Break, you can't help but have fun.

We're getting in Saturday Tom, Do you want me to have a cold beer waiting for you when you check in on Sunday after your long drive?

Starr W,

I have never been one to turn down a beer, that is for sure. The weather looks like it is going to cooperate for us this coming week, and everything should be fantastic.

Does anyone know if Bernie is still playing at the Green Cabin or is there new entertainment?

Looking forward to a little Orchid Island Pizza (actually the penne Vodka and Garlic Knots), around the pool.

Tom

Had a nice easy check in aroung 6:30PM Thur. we left Sat afternoon. Stayed in a studio in the main lobby facing the pool, very nice. Friday I awoke at 6:15AM down to the beach, had it to myself video taped sun rise for the family for later. Went back for DD at 7:40A so she could get some shells, we ate walking along the beach. That was fun the two of us.

Yes to one diser here- they do have hair wrapping and braiding next to the pool. We did the hair wrap $3 an inch, had Tina she was great, I actually think it was $2 at the beach club at disney this trip.

DS enjoyed the unbirthday party for kids age younger than 11, it lastest a hour. Signed him up that AM around 9:30A.

We ate with goofy and donald duck for breakfast. Called at 8:10A and they gave us a 8:25A cancellation. Good value it was under $80 for the four of us-all adult pricing for us. I saw guest using disney world resort mugs for their refill pop station next to the pool. The pool slide was open 10A-6P.

We rode the banana boat $20 a person, got a new driver who needs more time to learn more now not to sink the banana on the turns, but we had great fun. Water temp was 72ish. CM gives you all vest and helmets for the kids. There are not lifeguards present for the beach.

Another family let DS and I race thru their disney cottage there-WOW huge! I looked that bad boy was 105 points for their one night stay.

I wanted to add our cooler to the DIS share for vero, I was told they don't do that trade anymore it took up to much of their luggage room and it was getting out of control.

They do have different towels for you to use pool/beach side. You can trade them as many times as you want for clean ones for free. At the beach boogie boards were only $9 for the day for DVC members. Chairs were $9 a day too.

Do you know if they can do a cake for our anniversary or chocolate strawberries or a key lime pie. Oct 20th we will be there!

We've got a Beach Cottage for 6 nights starting Saturday! We always stop at Wal Mart and buy boogie boards for $10 bucks and some chairs. Since we use them every day it makes more sense to buy them. I think last trip we payed $10 for a board and $20 for chairs.

I'll be the chick next Thursday walking around giving the boogie boards/chairs away. So if anyone is interested send me a PM.
