Just told my hubby, and he says that has to be the best deal at Disney!! Thanks!!!




Thanks for this info. Not sure what to do, as we weren't planning on bringing socks or long pants at all. We don't use DEET for the smell, and the chemical itself, but now we are worried about bug bites. I am seriously allergic to bug bites - I swell up terribly, lips, arms, legs, etc. I need to do a bit of research on this. Thanks for the help.

WOW maybe you should think twice about Vero. I have heard the bugs can be quite bothersome there/or at the beach. If you and the children are that allergic and can't use sprays....you might be very miserable. Do you not have biting bugs in Canada? Mosquitos?? Do they swell you up too??

Of course we have bugs in Canada - I live in the most humid part of Canada. The weather is pretty much identical to Orlando in the summer. We have huge problems with mosquitos, so you won't find us outside at night at all. I am very allergic where I swell, get fevers, etc. from bug bites. I am mostly able to avoid them here, but not sure about Vero?

We seriously never even thought of this as we've never been to Vero before...I'm going to talk to my doc, and figure out what I can use for bug cream. I am allergic to chemicals and drugs as well, so I might have to stay inside at night.

Do the bugs bite really badly during the day as well? Thanks for your concern!

We've only really had issues in the evening. There are less bugs here right now than there were in GA. If you want an old sailor way of avoiding them, eat lots of tomatoes and lemons a few days before leaving and keep them in your system. My FIL has run a sailing school for 40+ years and he swears by this.

Just letting VBers know we found a neat little ice cream shop on the beach. If you head into Vero and turn left at the Jaycee park/public beach, it's right across from the Boardwalk.

Boardwalk Ice Cream.


Also, if you have teens that take the snorkeling class and are anxious to snorkel for real, in about an hour you can get to a very nice reef.

I have a friend and her daughter is very allergic to mosquitos and I will ask her what they use in the summers. However I don't think she has allergies so you guys might not be able to use it if you have problems with chemicals.

Thanks so much!

I am looking at a few organic bug creams, but they are hard to find here in Canada, so if I have to order from Drugstore.com and deliver to our resort, we'll do that.

Quick question for all you VB vets! We're hoping to rent a 2bed-lockoff next summer (most likely July) for 1 week. I realize this is probably the most busy time of year - what are our chances at 7months? Are we better to rent VB points to get it at 11months because otherwise we'd be out of luck?? Any help apprreciated!

 

[Twinprincesses]

Any updated Activity Sheets yet ??

 

[DVCconvert]

Starbox - Great photos & TR too!!

Where exactly is the Farmers Market you posted a pic of in your TR thread??
Do you know what days/hours are for it?

TIA!

We will be in Vero on July 23 in a dedicated two bedroom.
Is it correct that there aren't any "views" for the dedicated 2 bedroom, just a parking lot view?
No beach, pool or any other view?
Thank you.

 

[Mahusky]

Nope not true. The best dedicated 2bdr ocean views are 3rd floor rooms on in Units 15 and 12 especially the rooms on the south side in villa 15 and north side of villa 12.

I have stayed in them several times I just forget the room #'s

 

[Tabetha]

First timers, here! I'm really excited for our stay in October (10/22 to 10/25).
We're in an Ocean View Inn Room, sandwiching some private time between family/friends at Disney and family time in West Palm Beach....

 

[lts862]

We will be at DVB from June 29-July4. We have 3 OVIR reserved as no 1,2 or cottages were availabale. Looking forward to our first visit. Currently researching restaurants in the area.

Thank you VERY much! I am so happy I was wrong!
So, I will request 3rd floor in Unit 15, south side and
3rd floor, Unit 12, north side???
Thank you VERY much.
Do these rooms, if my request was honored, look out to the beach or a partial view?
Thanks so much, I just thought all faced the parking lot, since I thought I read it on the dis or mosue owners dot com
Thanks.

No problem. The Studio portion of the room overlook the parking area or back sie of the resort but the main balcony is on the side of the Villa unit and looks out over the vegetation onto the beach. My folks had the room on the North side of Villa 12 during fay and it was spectacular! I have had the dedicated 3 floor 2 bdr on the south side Unit 15 and it was very very nice. personally I like that one the best!

Thank you. For my dedicated two bedroom, I will request 3rd Floor south side Unit 15. Can I still put my request in for what your parents had since you said the studio portion....was their's a dedicated or 2 bedroom with a lockoff?
If you remember the room number can you please let me know or pm me?
Not counting on my request to be honored but will give it a try.
Thanks SOOO much for your helpful information and please let me know if I can also request what your parents had. I want to make sure I keep my dedicated 2 bedroom not a lockoff.
Thanks so much!!!

Hmmm, since I am js's DM and will be going with them to VB this July, I'm just wondering, is there an elevator to use if you have a 3rd floor unit?

Don't worry DD (js) even if there is no elevator I will be a good sport about it . Having a good view and a nice unit would be our priority.

Thanks,

Karen

 

[jknepfle]

We were there 2 years ago and I believe there WAS an elevator.

 

[Robo-Daddy 3000]

Yes, there are definitely elevators in the buildings at VB and at the Inn as well. No elevators in the beach cottages.
