My fiance and I are getting married at Disney on June 10th. To give ourselves a breather and get away from the swarms of family and friends still in the parks, we've decided to take our first trip to Vero Beach on June 11-14. We are SO excited! After YEARS of staying at various Disney parks, this is our first off property Disney adventure! And being that I work with Crush over at Turtle Talk at the Seas, I'm super excited to hear that this is prime turtle nesting season! Perhaps we can catch some totally awesome dudettes dropping off some little dudes! Any advice on how to make the weekend special would be appreciated

If you don't witness the actual thing you can also get up early and find the naturalist digging up and marking new nests and counting the eggs.

Does anyone know what to expect for a view? If the resort is sold out, is it uncomfortably crowded?

This is the laundry room balcony view which faces west and is on the northwest corner of the Inn. So it is pretty representative of a GView. Unbelievably, I can't remember if it is on the 3rd or 4th floor.

Even when the resort is sold out you won't feel like is it overcrowded.

Have a great time

CFedor1 : but we were able to get 2 nights in a Garden View Inn room April 6 - 8 (on points), so we will be back with the kids!! Does anyone know what to expect for a view?

Here is the view we had with our Garden View (this was a very very large corner L-shaped room) :

Our room had this huge extra space :

Before I get too carried away with planning my VB stay - can anyone tell me how likely we are to get 12/30 and 12/31 at 7 months out in an ocean view room??

I love the idea of the New Years Eve pool party at VB, as I think with two small children that is about as much excitement as we can stand (I certainly can't face the crowds of the WDW parks that night) - so am hoping for some pixie dust for us to grab a couple of nights at the Beach!

We're trying to get 12/26-1/1 this year at 7 months. I posted a thread asking this question and go no replies. I'm hoping that means nobody goes to VB at Xmas-NYE. We'll see

I had been watching your post with interest too!!

Looks like we will be the only ones there celebrating NYE - at least I'll get the quieter less crowded evening I had hoped for!!

Thanks to both Rob and MiaSRN62 for the pics and comments about Garden View options. I am wondering whether to make a room request for the 4th floor (where the laundry and ice machines are btw), or to just not request anything special and hope for the best room that is available for us. Any opinions on this would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Cathy

Thanks for all of the info. My family and I will be "coming home" for the first time March 24th through the 28th. We are then going from Vero to VWL for a few more days. Can't wait!!!!

Can anyone tell me about 1 bedrooms at Vero? Where are they located in the resort? Do they have oceanviews? Thanks for any information.

Fan's of Ozzie's Crabhouse Blue Crabs will be happy to know they have finally re-opened at their new location on US1 in Palm Bay. (Far from the Resort now just below Melbourne) Haven't tried the new location yet.

Wasn't sure if anybody had seen this news item about our beloved Vero Beach Resort on DVCMember.com...

Disney's Vero Beach Resort Pool Towels

Disney's Vero Beach Resort has upgraded its pool towels with larger, plusher versions stocked in Vacation Homes. Each Vacation Home is equipped with the appropriate number of pool towels based on that Vacation Home's occupancy. Pool towels will not be available at poolside or the beach, except on a one-for-one exchange basis. Members and Guests may also exchange used pool towels for clean replacements by contacting Housekeeping for delivery to their Vacation Home, or during regularly scheduled housekeeping services.

I'm interested to see the actual size of the new towels and whether the resort will only provide one per person.

Thanks for the info. If they are bigger towels I'm a happy camper.

I am staying at one of the VB Villas(3 bedroom) in a couple months. Have been to VB a bunch of times and never payed much attention. Does each villa have it own grill in front of it? Thanks.

Sounds like they are moving the the same towels HHI changed over to a couple years ago. They are definitely more plush and bigger. PLUS... people are much less likely to use them to reserve chairs or leave them behind at the pool or the beach. This should save some maintenance money.

Here is a shot of the towels at HHI. They gave us 5 in a 1 bdrm.
