Vero Beach 2012 thread closed... see 2013

Hi everyone!

We check into Vero June 14th for 3 nights, can't wait. Last time and only time we went prior, was coming off the Disney cruise and our son got sick right after we checked in - I think he picked up that dreaded cruise virus. Needless to say we had to leave the following morning and we were in our room the majority of the day.

Does anyone know the current price for the character breakfast on Saturday mornings? This is a huge thread and I don't have patience to look through all the posts. Thank you!!!

Hmmm...no sticker but starting Tuesday afternoon, I'll be on my own so just look for the solo act and you'll find me. When I'm on the beach, I'll also have a multi-coloured beach umbrella and a red chair. And if I can find it, I might be sporting a Rutgers baseball cap.

I will try to keep a look out for you. Tue is our anniversary so we will be spending it there at the resort plus a dinner in Vero somewhere.

Small world, we are also from Colorado and leave today, will be in Vero until Sunday. Life IS Good

Yes, It seems we have had so much cold weather lately where we are at in Florissant that I can't wait for the heat. Have a safe trip!

They have a NYE party at the pool area. A couple of characters visit. No Fireworks though. VB guests need to get a wrist band during the day to attend the party at night.

Thank you!

Sorry to "butt" in, but when I saw you were going to dinner for your Anniversary somewhere in Vero, I had to chime in. When we were down a couple of weeks ago we foudn a Wonderful italian restaurant. It is family owned & they make their own mozarella (I had the caprese salad-Delish!!)
THey had melt in your mouth grouper fixed a variety of ways ( it was on the "specials menu".) & plenty of other italian dishes. It was in Vero, called Mimmo's Scampi Grill. It was on 11th ave. in Vero beach. It was a delightful place. Not very big. We were dressed in vacation mode but there were couples there dressed up as well. Just wanted to let you know about it, if you were undecided about where to go! Debbie

We are arriving Sunday May27th - June 2nd - first visit to Vero Beach. Even with the stormy forecast we are determined to have FUN. Thanks for all the information posted here. It has made planning easier.

We were there at the end of April and had the best luck at Round Island Park. It's probably 15-20 minutes south of the resort and a nice little place.

We were told to go to the inlet in/near Sebastian but had no luck there.

It's a long drive, but they are often at Merritt Island NWR in the summer.

Maybe worth the stop on the way to the airport if you have a later flight.

Once of the great things about living here is that I have lots of flexibility in what I pack. I'm gonna bring a bunch of DVDs, some trashy romance novels and a bottle of coconut rum. That should combat any stormy weather issues we encounter next week.

We have never stayed at VB before but am thinking we might try to get a ressie for the end of April next year (2013). Since we don't own there (we own at VWL, AKV and HHI), we would be making 7 month ressies. Knowing nothing about the resort, will we have problems getting a 1BR? What about studios? I am just wondering is this something that is doable or should I just come up with a different plan. Thanks.

That is prime season for Vero Beach. We went in the month of October a few years ago. Great weather, not a soul on the beach! If you don't get in in April, I highly recommend October!

Unless you have to have the couch to sit on I would recommend the OVIR instead of a studio wonderful views.

I just booked my first trip to Vero Beach. We are staying in a studio for 5 nights in June, 4th-9th. Can't wait!

Does anyone know if there are any water parks near VB? Possibly within a 1/2 hour or so.

Don't know the answer to the cost, but got you on the roll call now.

Trashy romance novels and bottle of rum... That is the formula for a fun time.

Hey, I never claimed to be exciting, lol. And since this is a solo, relaxation oriented vacation, if foul weathher prevents sitting on the beach enjoying the relaxing rhythm of the waves, I'll need something to pass the time that I'm stuck indoors. Especially since spa treatments are waaaay outside the limits of my budget.

Can anyone comment on the state of the beach? A pic would be great!

 

[starbox]

We just decided to do a last minute day tip to Vero to visit cousins that are vacationing there. Got this Tuesday night in an inn room. :good vibes:good vibes

We check in from the UK for 10 days on the beach starting 30th August after 12 days in Saratoga This will be our 3rd visit to vero and looking forward to having the time to explore nearby and visit some of the yummy sounding restaurants nearby. We have only ever stayed for 2 nights before flying home so this time should be fab
