The 2011 Vero Beach Adoration and INFO thread

[backyardponder]

I have my second stay coming this weekend and had a choice of rooms. I took the OVIR again even though the studio layout would work a bit better for me. You can't get that view from a studio.

When we were there in October they changed the wireless passcode every few days........FYI in case they forget to tell you. We are members and it was free, but we had to call for the new passcode midway through our stay.

After three winter trips to the world just departed on 12/27, its time for a warm weather venture. In june of 2012 if plans change on Aulani we will be heading to VB for the first time, probably pre WDW. Its eighteen months away and already getting anxious. How hard is it to get a beach cottage for the last days of May, first days of June? TIA.

Two Swiss guys being there from Jan. 15 to 18, 2011. We're booked in a Ocean View Inn Room. Before, we stay 3 nights at AKV. We'll be there in 6 days!

First visit to Vero and looking forward to a relaxing stay!

BTW, could someone repost the complete link to the Google map with local attractions from Page 1? Tried to copy it out and it looks like it wasn't complete.

Any recommendations for good breakfast / dinner places in the area?

Perhaps the FAQ on page 1 of this post could be modified to note that there is not charge for internet for DVC members?

We'll be there 2/18-2/21/11!

Here is a LINK to a thread posted by Melynny listing the current SPA prices at VB for those who missed it.

HELP NEEDED!!!

Over the next couple of weeks I will be working to update and reformat some of the information on post #1 of this thread. I plan to break apart the FAQ section into multiple sections, like Restaurant Reviews, Internet access, local activities, spa, etc.

Right now I need lots of input from visitors on Restaurant Reviews and Internet access.

For Restaurant Reviews, please post or send me a PM with a short (no more than 2 or 3 lines) review. A couple of examples might be "Great Seafood, wonderful view, service good but not great, reservations needed" or "The menu called it steak but I called it shoe leather".

For Internet access, since VB is wireless, the quality of the wireless signal plus either your room number or an approximate location of your room.

Also approximately when you were at VB. The more current the reports, the better.

THANKS!

John

Hello All! First time I have posted on the DVC boards! Glad it's on this thread. My DH, DD, Ds-i-l, and I will be at VB 5/25-5/28 to celebrate my
60th birthday! Can't wait to spend time at this beautiful resort. We stopped by VB and had lunch there the day we got off the Disney Wonder last November. Fell in love with the resort, views and atmosphere.

We will be at Vero Beach from 3/7 to 3/10! Just a short stay before we embark on the Disney Dream! We were at VB in 2009, loved it, and can't wait to be there again!
