The 2011 Vero Beach Adoration and INFO thread

[irish dancer]

At Vero now, checked in yesterday. LOVING IT! Perfect relaxation after a week in the parks. Tried the brunch today, pricey but very good. Going to try squid lips for dinner tomorrow.

Bought 2 chairs and clamp on umbrellas at cvs, we are leaving the 15th and can't take them with us so if anyone wants them let me know.

We are here now as well...having a great time. The boys have loved making paper airplanes and Consuelo, the CM who does that has been fantastic. Even at check in the CM took each of our boy's stuffed animals and put a trading pin on each.

Ate at Capt. Hirams tonight...pirate character dinner tomorrow night.

We did the same thing. If you do not get any responses here, the day before check-out I would look for a family checking in and ask them (or the next morning if no luck day before).

Have a great time!

The Woz's had a great weekend at VB! Breakfast with Donald, & Goofy was delicious & fun. We did go to Bathtub Reef & it was worth the long ride. DS, DGS, DGD & I snorkeled. As we traveled south there were yellow & red condition flags, but there was a green one at Bathtub reef. For us, the conditions were great. We saw pelicans galore, diving for food.

At the resort, we enjoyed 2 campfires, pin trading & the tile painting...as well as the pool recreation things. Also, DH & I were gifted with a pin & card. That I mentioned elsewhere.

DDG did mention that she liked staying in a BC better. We had a 2 bedroom with a "Jungle" type view.

Looking forward to a next visit!

Hi, We are checking in the 18th and would LOVE to use your chairs and I will be happy to leave them when we checkout on 6/21/11 for someone else at check in.

If you get this our last name is Hillhouse and we are checking in Sat June18th.

THANKS so much and if someone else is using them no worries, what a kind gesture.

 

[ajf1007]

Can someone explain the difference between the Deluxe Inn Room and the Deluxe Studio? Is it location?

 

[Nette]

I've read that some of the corner Inn rooms are L-shaped. We had one of these a couple of weeks ago and it was wonderful. However, it was HA. I'd love to have an L-shaped room again if we go in Sept, but I don't want to request an HA room when we obviously do not NEED one. Are all of the corner L-shaped Inn rooms HA?

Will leave them with bell services marked with your name and arrival date. Hopefully they'll be waiting for you when you get here.

Glad you liked the reef and found it worth the drive!! We are going back Wednesday or Thursday.

[SabresFan]

We'll be checking in on Wed 7/20 and checking out Fri 7/22 for our first ever visit to VB. We've already booked surfing lessons for DD15 and DD18 for that Thursday (first time ever for that too).

Definitely looking forward to it!

 

[MrShiny]

Has anyone done the Turtle Walk from theSea Turtle Preservation Society in Indialantic? Here is our dilemna. DD is an animal lover and HP fan. We booked a Turtle Walk for 7/13. Turns out Majestic 11 theater in VB is showing HP 7 2 on Wednesday night/Thursday morning.

Do you think we will be able to make it after the Turtle Walk (not sure when it ends) down to VB in time for the midnight show?

Nope. The turtle walk goes until 11:00-12am depending on when the turtle gets sighted. Earliest you go on the beach is around 9:45 (there's an educational presentation first) and it takes over an hour to observe the entire nesting ONCE the turtle is spotted. The theater is a good 25 minutes from the beach where turtle walks (at least) are held - so best case scenario - you get a turtle sighting immediately - you won't even start the walk back to your car until after 11:00pm - no way you'll make it in time to get a seat.

We turtle walked Tuesday night and were out until midnight.

Does anyone have a resort map that I could look at?? TIA!!

 

[Maryrn11168]

We are staying in GVIR for our stay pre-cruise, so I am going to have to do laundry so we have clean clothes on the cruise. How are the laundry facilities in the Inn?? We are wait-listed for a 1 bedroom, but I doubt we will get it.

There's a free laundry room in the inn and in each of the out buildings. In the inn, I think it's on the 4 th floor, but it's been years since we used it.

 

[matilda]

We checked in today and your two chairs just arrived in our room. Thank you so much and as I will not be on computer again I will look for a family checking in on Tuesday morning when we leave. We love it here so much already after spending five days at the parks this is what we need. Hands down this is our fav resort and will be back again.
