[katema52]

We will be there 8/22-8/24. There will be 18 of us in 6 ocean view studios. Can't wait to feel the sunshine. It's so cold here in Buffalo.

Last visit to Vero 2012 we did the turtle walk and loved it. This year DD wants to see manatees. Can anyone point me to a manatee tour?

Thanks,

How is the beach at Darrow does it compare to a beach in the Caribbean

Manatees are easier to find in cold weather, as they flock to warm springs. We saw hundreds of them in Blue Springs SP and at the electric plant in Tampa near Apollo beach during our 3 weeks in FL. Today there were none in the harbor when we went to the Manatee Center in Ft. Pierce. Even if there are none around, the volunteers at the center are very interesting, and there are lots of nature displays there.

They do it at 2 places a few miles south of the Disney property. I am not sure where, but on Indian river

I've only just seen this thread and I'm at Vero now . I wish I'd seen it before then I could have looked out for bobbiwoz - I've read so many of her posts I feel I know her . As it is, we leave tomorrow.

1/22 to 1/25 - OVIR - just me and DH
8/10 to 8/12 - Beach cottage with DH, DS, DDIL, DGS (age 4), DGS (age 3)
8/12 to 8/14 - 2 BRM but waitlisted for Beach cottage (not optimistic!)

Loved the pictures in this thread.

Got you added to roll call, enjoy your stays

My DH and I will be at VB tomorrow and leave on Monday to board the Disney Magic for 11 days. Hopefully, tomorrow night I will be sitting in the Green Cabin enjoying a glass of wine.

Such a cool place to visit. And, admission is relatively inexpensive which is an added bonus.

Anyone know if they still serve the bucket of boiled shrimp at the pool window? Those were so good!

I wondered if anyone could tell me how busy VB is over Memorial Weekend? We usually go to DW that weekend but thought about changing it up. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

The resort will be sold out for Memorial Day Weekend and the pool will be extremely busy, especially Saturday afternoon, Sunday and Monday morning. If the weather is good, Sea Breeze could run out of lounge/umbrella set-ups. But it is still tradition to head "down the shore" for the unofficial start of summer, so to Vero I will go.

They did back in September.
