We were there when they did the switch. The new system is so much better and faster. No longer needed to log in each time I turned the iPad on.

About 2 weeks ago I saw a post that stated new improved wifi had been installed at the resort. Can anyone who has been there in the last two weeks comment on the signal quality and speed?

I just returned home on Saturday. The WiFi was better this trip than when I was there in May. Signal in the room was good and I had no problems with my laptop. As a pp noted, the signal by the pool was not as strong, though that might depend on where you make camp. We tended to grab a table near the smoking section, kind of behind the slide. You might find a stronger signal on the other side by Eb & Flo's or Bleachers.

Also, last week there was a letter placed in my room (assuming all rooms got it) stating that someone might be entering the room to do some work related to the WiFi between now and the end of the month so it seems that it might still be a work in progress.

Thanks for the responses, we will be in a beach cottage, I am assuming that they have updated wifi as well. Thanks for the quick feedback.

Really easy to get into and it stayed there the entire stay! Vast improvement!

Is Stacy (Must Do Disney) on in the rooms at Vero?

Does anyone know if there is still a performer in The Green Cabin Room during the week?

 

[mumto3girls]

Not sure if there is someone there every night, but during our August stay, there was a guy singing on Friday evening.

No Stacy, only Casey.

We were at Vero last October and there was construction on the property just south of the resort. We are staying in a beach cottage in 2 weeks, and would like to avoid any construction noise. an anyone who has been there recently comment? I am ready to put my request in for location.

I haven't been a good steward this year. We need some new blood running this show. I'll help you get the new thread started and it is easy to keep up the roll call. PM me if you are interested or willing.

 

[dwelty]

Please add me to the Roll Call October 6th through 10th. Thanks!

We are heading down after our DCL cruise in November and I am wondering if Vero is also using the new electronic refill cups & mugs like WDW. If not do they sell those pink, blue or black lid refillable mugs there like WDW had?

 

[dvc at last !]

Subbing to read later...
have never been to Vero Beach -
hope to be there next summer.

 

[dwelty]

Just wondering if anyone has seen the new rapid refill machine (for refillable mugs) at Vero. We will be staying for 3 days at SSR prior to going to Vero and want to know what the situation is before we buy them at SSR. We know that if we buy a length of stay mug it will work at all other WDW resorts, but do not know if it will work at Vero when we move. if anyone who has been there recently can comment it would be helpful to us.

The last I had heard on this thread was that the machines are still 'old school' at this point, but that changes are coming to VB and HH sometime in the 'future'...

 

[dwelty]

Has anyone done this? It is $30.00 per person, this seems a little steep. My daughters 7 and 10 are interested, but I'm not sure I am ready to drop $60.00 on it. Advice would be appreciated as well as any alternatives.

Sad... That property used to be owned by DVC and was supposed to be the expansion space for VB. Years back they sold it off.
