The 2011 Vero Beach Adoration and INFO thread

[jlmasl]

We leave in a few hours for our trip to Vero Will be there 5/22 - 5/26 then off to b2b cruise on the Dream!!! Looking foward to Vero since we have never stayed there. Been to HHI resort and really loved it so hoping Vero is just as nice.

We are leaving for VB in the morning too! I haven't been able to read this thread yet (I'm planning to do that at the Indy airport), but what type of room are you in? We have an ocean view studio booked. So excited! If you see an extremely pale (glow-in-the-dark white) girl with brown hair hanging around a skinny, shaved-head guy, come over and say, "Hi, Jenney and Scott"!

Since we'll only be there for 3/nights/4 day and are eating at Shutters one night, which would you do for the other 2 nights? (a Mon and Tues night in June)...

-Squid Lips
-Capt' Hirams
-Mulligans
-Orchid Pizza (take-out)

We're looking for a place that's beachy/casual. It would be alright if one were fancier but at least one to be 'elbows on the table' type place...

Thanks!!!!

I prefer Squid Lips over Capt Hirams. We went to Hirams for our anniversary 1 May and were disappointed. You can, however, get coupons for Capt Hirams off of restaurant.com. We have not made it to Mulligans yet, but they usually have a good crowd.

Enjoy your purchase! We have a weekend in VB coming up with our family! They recently moved to the west coast of Florida.

We are totally in love with Disneys Vero Beach Resort. We first visited in August 2009 and loved it. So much so that we decided to get married there last October. It was perfect. We had our ceremony on the beach and then our wedding meal at Sonyas. All of the staff were brilliant and helped us so much with our plans.

We have just booked to go back to Florida and will be spending 6 nights at Vero from 25th Oct-31st Oct in an OVIR. So we get to be there for our first wedding anniversary. So if you see a family sitting on the beach at 4pm on the 28th Oct having a toast, that will be us.

Any one have new pics of the beach.

How wonderful! Congratulations!!!

Our story is that we arrive at VB on June 10th this year and that's the 45th anniversary of the day DH and I met on the Boardwalk of Seaside Heights NJ! DH and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversay with family and friends at VB a few years ago. We had a BC and a few OVIR's for friends.

I love your avitar! You were a beautiful bride!

Sound like a lovely place to get married!! I'd love to see some pictures! It's really special when you can get married somewhere that you can return to over & over for your anniversary. We got married in '09 in a little gazebo at the Shades of Green military resort at WDW (Cheapest Disney Wedding EVER for only $125 for the gazebo rental!) We haven't made it back there yet for an anniversary, but just went on the Disney Dream for our anniversary celebration this year.

I know your toast on the 28th will be extra special!

MiaSRN62,

Thanks. We had a nice anniversary meal there last night. The food was very good. I tried the pineapple upside down martini but it was not good.

We really enjoyed a night out together and it only takes us ten minutes to get to the resort so we were close to home in case anything went wrong.

We're hoping to get over there for brunch in the next few weeks.

Can anyone tell me how many towels you get in your room to use for bathing and the pool? We're heading down in June and don't know if we should bring at least one towel each from home. When we use the pools at Disney we typically use 2 towels each but since they are strict at Vero, I didn't know how many you are given to use at the pool. It will be 4 adults and we're in an Ocean View Inn room..

Thanks!!!

There will be 4 beach towels in your room. There will also be 4 bath towels as well as 4 hand towels and 4 washcloths. You may have a towel animal or two that will be extra. IF you have room, why don't you bring more? The bath towels aren't changed until the 4th day....the laundry is free, if you want to take the time to do it. Just bring your own supplies or purchase them there. I think you can get new beach towels by handing them over for exchange.

 

[iloveokw]

I wouldn't bring extras...you will have to wash them and you won't have a washer and dryer in your room. They put 4 in your room, plus your regular towels and you can exchange the pool towels as often as you want. Have a great trip

Thanks..we're not DVC and aren't staying on DVC points so we'll get daily housekeeping We'll probably pack a beach towel since we're flying SW and are checking 2 bags each.

Less than a week to go for the annual Vero visit and I can't wait.

Still have a ton of laundry to do before I can start packing. Of course, I'll probably overpack as usual. Can't wait to hit Squid Lips and enjoy Happy Hour and Attitude Adjustment Hour.

This will be my first time in a GVIR so a little nervous about that but any room at Vero is better than staying home and going to work, right?

Thanks for all the tips and info from recent visitors!

We too are getting close for our vb vacation we arrive on the 25 th and stay 1 night at bwv and go to epcot for the day and head over to vero beach For the next 5 nights. Laundry is going strong as we speak!

I do have one question...where is the closest supermarket we need to pickup some supplies.

All the rest I got last trip need to be cleaned up. I had a dirty sensor
