Does anyone know if they still do this at Vero? What is the word on bringing back cups from previous years?

Hey all! Please add us to the roll call for Sept 8th -12th. It will be our 1st visit to Vero! I was wondering about the activities since the sample page on the website shows July & August with many things listed as "Seasonal." Does anyone know if they keep most of them going in Sept? Thanks so much!

Any fireworks at Vero Beach? I read that HHI does them once a week.

We are here now for a week. After downpours yesterday it is beautiful! Our first visit. Using RCI points for 1 bedroom. the resort is lovely and small enough it is easy to get anywhere quickly. The Sunday brunch was wonderful. Our only concern is being able to get chairs at the pool. It looks full.

We also just checked in for a week and enjoyed the sunday brunch!!! The chairs are normally not too difficult to get, this is not normally an early am crowd so good availability in the morning and even at it's worst we have always found chairs somewhere. We were used to resorts in Daytona and other areas where if you don't stake your claim before 8 am you were out of luck. It is our 3rd stay here and we love it.

They have the new computerized mug system, same as disney world so old mugs will not work in the fountains. They sell new mugs with computer chips in the base that activate the machines.

We are headed to Vero Beach for the 1st time from 4/4 - 4/9 and have a question concerning breakfast. I believe that Saturday is the weekly character breakfast at Shutters. Are there other breakfast options if we do not want to attend (and pay the $ premium) for the character breakfast ? I have teenage daughters who still love Mickey, but are not interested in the characters breakfast anymore Thanks in advance.

We are really looking forward to our visit! We were there about 10 years ago before kids and we just went this past year for 2 nights and the kids really enjoyed it, so we are back for 4 this year. Does the resort have any fishing gear suitable for fishing the Sebastian Inlet? Or where else can I get a pole and the needed tackle? I thought I might take the kids to do that one afternoon. Also, we are thinking about the Piper Factory tour, we will be flying our Piper Cherokee 6 in from New Orleans, thought it would be cool to do the tour. Has anyone else done this? How long is it? What cost? Finally, any other ideas you die hard Vero Beachers can suggest would be appreciated. Thanks!

Got you added to roll call, enjoy your stay. More info on the fishing gear coming soon

We will be there October 16-19th after our cruise. Is there a link to good local restuarants in the area? Our last trip we ate at Squid Lips. Also does anyone have an activity sheet from October?

you have been added to roll call, enjoy your stay. I will be adding the restaurant list the resort gives out in the next few days

DH and I are planning our first visit to Vero Beach Oct. 17-19. Are there any good outdoor beach bars nearby? My husband has never really had the opportunity to do the drinks and live music on the beach experience. Something more geared towards the 21+ crowd would be preferable to a kid-centered environment. Thanks for your help!
