The 2011 Vero Beach Adoration and INFO thread

[Mahusky]

I don't want any of those 'old style' mugs either..... I must have 10 plus as well!!!! SDD for me so I hope they sold out of the old ones!

A lock off can also be used as a stand alone one BR and a studio. A dedicated can only be used as a 2 BR.

Just want to share some pics I snapped of our visit at Squid Lips :

Love me some Sqid Lips.

Thanks for the info

Is there a car rental place in vb. We didn't notice one last time but we weren't looking for one either?

 

[CFedor1]

Leaving for the Albany airport to fly to Orlando. Staying at Hyatt Grand Cypress (AAA rate of $125) tonight. Heading to Vero tomorrow with at stop at Meg O'Maley's in Melbourne on the way. CM I spoke to yesterday told me it should be a quieter week this week. We can't wait to get out of the New York weather!

We just got back from VB last night. This was our 3rd trip for spring break. I've not seen the resort as busy as it was in 2008, the year the "Soprano" group basically took over the pool area and scared the CM's out of enforcing the "chair reserving rule".

Though did have to laugh at the few who showed up for rope drop at the pool every morning.

How is the weather at Vero in October? Is it warm enough to go in the Ocean?

We are going on a cruise and right now are booked to go back to Bay Lake but love Vero so much we might go back.

October is a fantastic month at VB. Yes, the ocean is warm enough to swim and it's usually not crowded at all.

Thank you so much. That resort is just beautiful & relaxing. I think we may go for that instead of the parks.

I am one of the grateful folks who enjoyed your chairs last year Treehugginmama!!
We went exactly that time last year - October 16th- and you are correct, there were very slim pickins in the stores. I was looking to add an umbrella, as I burn very easily. There were none at Walmart, Publix and is it Walgreen's? No chairs and no umbrellas. I finally found one at CVS amongst the Christmas items I am very worried as we check in on October 21st this year and I don't know if we will find anything available.
Good Luck with your trip with your Dad, I am sure it will be special.

The Sam's Club in Vero stocks a very nice beach umbrella for only $26.86

We live here and purchased one about a year ago, and they still carry it.

Starr W. I remember the "Soprano" group, too. Just made my reservation for SB 2012

Does anyone know if there is a grocery delivery service available in VB? We will be staying only a few days before our cruise and will not have a car. We have a car service bringing us to the resort and bringing us back to the cruise!! TIA!!

 

[csidisney]

Hi everyone!! I've been reading the thread and getting excited for our trip. We'll be in Vero 5/22-5/29 in a studio. Has anyone stayed in a studio before? Does it have a refrigerator so that I could stock some groceries for the little ones? Also, is there a grocery store in close driving distance? Can't wait!

 

[csidisney]

Oh, and I am reading mixed reviews about Captain Hirams and Riverside Cafe. Should I get these off Restaurant.com or not? Decisions, decisions...lol

You can order Groceries directly from Disney via:
Vero Beach Grocery List

Or you can use the following service:
http://www.groceriesandmoretoyourdoor.com/, but it will cost at least $25 on top of the food cost.

Yes, there is a Publix on US1, across the causeway from Disney and then north about a mile or less.

Yes, there is a refrigerator and microwave and small sink area. I usually stay in the Inn rooms, but my son stayed in a studio once. We usually go over the bridge and shop for groceries at the CVS (maybe 10 min away ?)......there is a Super Walmart about 25 min away approx ? Both over the bridge.
There are also some small food selections in the general store in the hotel, but they're pricey of course----same as any of the gift shops in WDW are.
Have a great stay !
