Hey everyone,

We made our reservations to be at Vero for the first time Oct 14-16 following a week at OKW.

We are so excited! (Now, the fingers will be crossed for good weather!)

Excellent! What type of accommodation (room) will you have? Odds are very good for great weather. Mid October to Mid November is my TOP choice of timeframe to visit VB.

Perfect timing in my opinion. Really, the tropical storms have pretty much come to an end, as have the daily thunderstorms. Still, it is warm and somewhat humid, and what you want at the beach.

Pretty good pick for a VB newbie... Enjoy... that's not a hope that's a premonition...

Is there a hot tub at Vero? If so, where, I can't place one.

Thanks,
Bobbi

I just returned from VB two days ago, so yes there is a hot tub. We never used it and not many people did, it was too warm. Anyway it is located just near Ebb & Flo's where you pick up your towels. Have fun.

Oh thank you! I'm so happy to hear that, if not for this trip, for the one I have in January!!!!

Wondering how you find the new promo codes........

We just booked our Vero Beach trip for Sept 6-12,4 days in Beach Ctg and two
in the INN OV. We usually split our trip with a Stay in WDW but air fairs to
MCO are high so we booked a flight to FLL. Looking forward to a whole week and some beach time and great food at Hiram's.

 

[metzger01]

Wondering how you find the new promo codes........

Oftentimes it is prominately displayed on the home page of restauarant.com. There is always a promo going on, i.e. 50%, 60%, 70%, or 80% off. Currently it is only 50% off, so I would wait. In the meantime, you can join their email list (tab on the home page), and they will send you the new promo codes as they occur. Once you purchase from them, they also include you on their list.

Enjoyed our April 2011 spring break trip to VB so much that just booked at the 11 month window for next spring break! For roll call you can add us for 4-1-12 to 4-5-12 then we are off to the Disney Dream 5 night!! This was our first trip, beautiful! I wasn't in love with our room location right next to the parking lot as far away as you can get from the pool. Any hints to get a better location next year? We booked a 1 bedroom, I requested a room by the pool with a view. We enjoyed Orchid Island pizza shrimp subs and Shutters seafood buffet. I was surprised at how long the ride from BLT to VB was but maybe we were just too excited and couldn't wait to get there. It was great to just chill by the beach after running around at the very crowded parks. Loved our disney home.

I do believe Maria is in VB at this time Or maybe soon. Hey lady... how's it going?

I seem to recall you taking photos of the Island Grove store's inventory sometime back... Any updating?

Last night DH surprised me with an early Mothers Day gift - a wonderful slideshow program I have been wanting.

We haven't been back to Vero since 08 - but are planning 3 nights there at the end of our June trip.

I just took my photos from that 2008 Vero trip and plugged them into the slide show.

Here is what I created. (I got one out of order - a storm photo that should not have been with the grounds photos - oh well )
