Oh, are we into 2013 yet? I'll be there 1/13/13 to 1/17/13! that's where I'm headed after the MC!

I don't know that I can think of a better combination than the MC and DVB stay unless of course you threw in a day at Food & Wine too - timing problem with that with the Jan. MC though.

These are parts of a trip that begins on 12/29/12. There will be plenty of F&W on this trip!

What a great trip that is! On Sunday I used my Grand Teton tea towel and was smiling. How did you enjoy yourselves?

Hey Bobbi, It was fantastic. We took the train from Martinsburg, WV to Denver and then rented a car and drove up through CO, WY, MO, and back. The weather was perfect. 1st day at the Tetons the mountains were invisible due to smoke and clouds, but it rained and cleared to blue skies the next day.

Hey Deb

Pardon my ignorance, but what does MC stand for?

Thinking about booking Vero for a few nights over New Year's Eve. Is there anything special going on then?

I will also be there over NYE and wondering about festivities or anything local that might be planned? We will have both little ones (almost 8 and almost 3 by then) so kid friendly activities are likely best. Thanks for any advice!

Ok we are at Vero now. Will be leaving in the morning. We have tubes and body boards and lots of snacks if anyone is checking in tomorrow please reply to this post I will meet up with you to pass along these items. We are flying home and have no way to carry any of the extra items

The party is actually mentioned on the first page


VB throws a pool-party on New Year's Eve complete with party hats,
noise-makers, live DJ, and guest appearances by the likes of Goofy,
Chip, and Dale. There are family activities, dancing, and the night
ends with the "Pool Drop" where at the stroke of midnight, everyone
who wants to, jumps into the pool.

It sounds like fun, and we plan on going.

I just made an ADR for the character breakfast on December 29. The CM was surprised that I wanted 7:30 AM, but last time I forgot that the travel time was approximately 3 minutes, and waiting until 9 AM last year was torture!

Thanks Sarah -

We will most likely be at the party as well! The last time we were in Vero we attended the pirate dinner which was a blast! We were not there for a character breakfast though. Do you know id the breakfast is only on Saturdays?

Thanks!

We have been here for a week and by far Frances the bartender at the green cabin room is the absolute best!!!! She also invented a drink called the Frances and it absolutely rocks!!! If you get a chance swing by and tell her hi. She is a blast!!!

You can leave items for another guest at the front desk. Just affix their last name and advise a CM of their check in date. They will store them for a few days. I did this with chairs last month so another DVC member could use them.

anyone know of a Vero trip report? Thanks.

I've got one in-progress, but it'll be a while before I get to the Vero portion. We're first covering a New York City portion where my wife and daughter went through trading out some points to RCI. If you want to follow, it's the first link in my signature.

Hi Everyone,
We will be leaving for Vero Beach on Monday, flying across from the UK.
In previous years, we have always passed on our chairs and boards for others to use, as it wasn't worth the extra baggage costs to bring them home.
Just wondered if anyone was checking out on Sunday or Monday that may have spare boards/ tubes they would be willing to leave at the front desk to pass on to us?
It would be really appreciated as we are trying to do our vacation on a budget this year.
Many thanks
Mark

I think the characters were Goofy & Donald, and it's served family style. All 9 of us, kids and adults were happy with the food!
