Sure! Let me send you a message, missycj.

I think though you can only check in 10 days prior. We are going to WDW first and were able to do check in quite a while ago. Going to Vero in 2 weeks and it is not available yet.

You can link the reservation to your MDE an check in online 60 days ahead.

Sorry i've been slacking with the picture of the day. Crazy work schedule, a lack of pictures from my March trip and trying not to duplicate. If anyone wants to add some go right ahead. I am counting down to my October trip and I will be sure to take plenty more. Its almost dinner time so I will post some food pictures
Shutters

Is it possible to visit the resort and eat at Shutters (without room reservations)? We will be visiting family that is close by and are interested in taking a look around. TIA for any help!

Cocoachip,

Yes! We eat at Shutters, go to the spa, Green Cabin Room, etc. and we are locals.

Are the no-see-ums only there in certain months?

Just home from my last scheduled visit to DVBR for 2014 and I miss it already.

They are currently doing some work on the laundry/vending room on the 4th floor of the Inn Building and the letter left in my room said to go to one of the Villas buildings for those services. The letter didn't say how long the facilities would be down but they still had the letters at the front desk to give to arriving guests. This was a bit frustrating, especially with the new refrigerators not having a freezer section (like the one in my room), but the housekeeping and front desk Cast Members are trying to minimize the impact to Inn guests.

And finally, a shout out to the resort's awesome recreation/lifeguard Cast Members. These folks really are the heart and soul of DVBR and were a great source of fun and entertainment each day, whether at the poolside activities or the campfire sing-along or in the lobby when the pool deck had to be closed due to inclement weather. So a big thanks to each and every one of them for allowing me, and all the other guests, become part of their family during our vacations. Each day was truly a little more magical because of them.

Thank you PammyK for your update! For once we have booked a 1 bedroom, so we at least will not be inconvenienced by the Inn's laundry room.

I agree that the CMs at VB are among the best Disney had!

I can't deny - I'm a little jealous. I don't go back until May.

Have a wonderful stay!

This coming November will be our 1st trip to VB. Couple of questions:

Is there pin trading? Anything organized or just with CMs?

Is it here a refillable mug program? Is it the same type of system that they have at WDW?

Does anyone know what the different names are for the cottages??? and where each one is located? Just curious. I had heard they had names and not room numbers? Also if anyone has photos of the insides that would be awesome. Any suggestions on which cottage locations are "better" than others? I know its subjective. just for your opinions. Thanks!

 

[missycj96]

There is definitely pin trading. It is on the activity schedule. There is a large pin book that they take out. Both my girls were able to trade for pins that they liked.

The map on page one shows the Cottages and their numbers (I think they also have names). From the map you can see their position to the pool, etc. The closer to the pool the more activity/noise.
