Is the Sunday brunch considered to be at both restaurants. We made a reservation for 9:45, but I read somewhere that the brunch didn't start till 10. Did I make a reservation for the wrong restaurant then? Also, I read somewhere there's a seafood night. Which night and where?

Anyone???

Anyone???

I thought Sunday brunch was only Sonya's.

I am fairly new to reading about vero beach and looking forward to my trip there on June 9. I seem to remember reading something about people trading off beach chairs? Is there a site to go to for that or any other information I can find about that? I will be there until 12th of June really looking forward to spending some time with my children and grandchildren. We are staying in a one bedroom. I did not put any special requests because I was not sure what to ask for. I'm sure they will all be nice.

I am also wondering about this, do they allow regular chairs at the beach and if so can you recommend where to get some

We were lucky enough last time to catch someone leaving that left us chairs, boogie boards and sand toys. We went to a grocery store down the road and picked up a couple other chairs. We left them when we left by the entrance to the beach with a sign on them when we left.

do they usually come out with DVC members discount cash rates for rooms in September ??

Yes, they allow regular beach chairs on the beach. You could be lucky to get some from members who are leaving. If you need to buy them there is a Publix if you head north on RT 1 in about 2 miles, or there is a Wal Mart if you go about 3 miles further north also on route 1! Both are in the left side if you are heading north.

We bought ours twice at the CVS just over the bridge on 1. We go in October and both Walmart and Publix were not carrying them, but CVS still had some

We will arrive in the late afternoon coming from Miami Airport. Will there be a supermarket on our way to get some softdrinks, or can we buy them at the resort for a reasonable price?

How long in advance can I book the character breakfast and has anybody a telephon number for me please.

I have a few questions I hope someone can help with.

1. Are the beach chairs included and if not what is the cost?

2. What is included and what isn't?

3. Are there magic bands here or will there be by July?

I am sure we will have more questions, so thanks in advance

1. If you want to take chairs to the beach, you either rent from the concession on the beach, or you bring your own. There are chairs and lounges, umbrellas and tables at the pool.

2. There are many activities, crafts for free. The campfire with s'mores is free. There are things that have a small free like ceramic craft. You can rent bikes and play mini golf for a charge.

3. They do not use Magic Bands at VB.

There will be a lot of grocery stores between the resort and the airport, soft drinks will be much cheaper at the grocery store. Dvcnews.com has the telephone numbers for the resort under the resort section of the website. Have a great trip!

I thought members got 25% off dvc cash rates all the time......

I have seen several people posting about beach chairs and umbrellas. I strongly suggest the chairs and umbrella at Sams Club. While this will be our first trip to Vero Beach, we go to other beaches frequently and they are super nice and hold up great. The chairs are $30 each and the umbrella is $20. A little more expensive than CVS or Walmart but worth the price.

I have been reading up on Vero Beach and it seems like there are a few things you need to reserve ahead of time. I know there is a Monday evening pirate dinner and Saturday morning character breakfast. How far in advance do you need to book those? Is there anything else you need to book early? Also, does Mickey ever show up?

I keep reading about member prices versus nonmember prices. If I rent my rental from an owner, do I get the owner prices or do I literally have to own a DVC timeshare?

Hello,
During our past stay at VB we were able to pass beach chairs to members checking in as we checked out. There was a chair exchange on the Disboards at that time - June 2012. Is the VB thread the place to arrange to pass chairs along? So many people come and go, it would be a waste to purchase new chairs constantly.

We check in May 27 and out 31 so I thought I'd check if there's a chair swap.

Thanks!

We recently stayed at Vero for 3 nights and two full days. It was our first visit and we hope to have a longer stay in the future. I just want to give a shout out to disboard member pasta37 who offered her chairs in a post. We overlapped our stays but she passed the chairs to us and we got to use them for one full day. I had bell services hold the chairs for disboard member Song of the South. Hopefully she passed them onto another member.

Pretty sure it's not unlimited to where it would be available all the time, and no one knows how many are available. We got it a few years ago at VB in the fall, fwiw.
