Just returned from VB!
What a blast!
Sunday: Little drizzle but still got sunburn sitting by pool, dinner at Olive Garden
Monday: Surf was perfect, not to dangerous. Grabbed Chicken to Go at Publix and sat under gazebo at pool for dinner.
Tuesday: Men went deep sea fishing with Capt Bob. Ladies hung by pool. Ocean was VERY ROUGH, CT scrapped his head pretty bad when a WAVE forced him to the ocean floor. Men caught enough fish and had a fish fry outdoors at Indian River picnic park.
Wednesday: Went for the 10 mile bike hike to Pelican Island, got caught in the downpour. Dinner at Capt Hirams. Hand's down one of the 10 best restaurants we have ever eaten at.
Thursday: Headed home after watching a specatacular sunrise 7:01am.

So glad you had a great time. Getting caught in a downpour is not so bad as long as there is no lightening. We're hoping to head there in December, so want to hear more.

Great room MiaSRN!



Please removed us from the list.

I had to cancel our August reservation (and soon our October reservation). My sister was just diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer and need to be here with/for her.

Hope to visit in the near future and keep the pictures coming everyone.

Your sister and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers!!

Maria,

thanks for the pics on the corner room. I am now SO hoping that we get our request. It looks like you could play a game of soccer in the entrance to the room. More importantly it looks like a nice spot for naps in pack-n-plays for little ones.

Thanks again

You're welcome....I will say not every corner room is created equally. But yes, we felt like we could have had a dance party to say the least in there !

Some are larger than others. I will honestly say that I doubt any corner room was bigger than the one I had in the pics. This was my second corner room and the first was not this big..........

Oh, can you give more info about the fishing? I always want to go when I'm at Vero but haven't done it yet.

Thanks!

Hi....here's what they had May 2009 (btw, I'm checking in May 3 !)

Maria

I think the drinks are all the same but they replaced the Lemonade with Light Pomegranate Lemonade. I didn't try it but my son seemed to love it....

Do they have refillable mugs at Vero???

 

[3inthefamily]

Yes, it seemed like everyone had them except us!! $13.99, I think...

 

[starbox]

Just checking in to say we're just a little away from a month in Vero!!

We won't be staying at DVC, but we'll be in a house in Sea Oaks - right next to Disney. Planning on taking several short trips to WDW and using pool-hopping to visit the Disney resort and say hello to our CM friends.

 

[AnnaS]

Without hijacking this thread, just wanted to say thank you everyone for all your thoughts and prayers.

 

[MiaSRN62]

starbox....I'm sure you'll have a great time. You'll have to give us a TR when you get back

And Anna....don't feel you're hijacking the thread....not at all. Feel free to post anything.
Keeping your sister in thought during this difficult time.

Have they updated the washing machines in the 1 bedroom units lately? Just wondering if they're still top loading machines or if they've changed over to front loading high efficiency.... just need to know so I bring the right detergent... thanks

 

[Hopefully]

We are planning on grilling a night or two during our week trip in October. Are there grill utensils available to use? If yes, where do you borrow them from and how long can you use them for?
Thanks

we where there at the same time, Im sure we saw each other at some point! This was our first DVC stay and first stay at Vero. We had a great time, spent hours in the pool. Saw dolphin feeding all long the causeway, saw manatees at sebastian inlet. We had an ocean view inn room, after our 20hr ride down from MA, and checking in, my jaw dropped. As we walked to the room, we took a right at the stairs, when I knew the ocean was on the left! Entering the room, I went to the balcony and there was a wonderful view of........the pool! Yes, I could see the ocean way off to the left. I was very angry, I had raised my wife's hopes that we could sit on our balcony and have coffee in the am and watch the waves roll in. I went right to the desk and spoke with a CM, I was friendly, but it was hard to block my anger. She said technically it is an oceanview room and then spent some time finding us a new room, within minutes we where in a new room, facing the ocean, it was perfect! The resort was great. All we wanted to do was hang with the kids and swim. The kids (6,8) enjoyed the activities and liked the freedom of the pool area. they were constantly going from the pool to mini golf to the slide, etc. The staff was great, I never felt rushed or pressured. We loved our stay and met some very nice people. We will be back again. Next stop is Hilton Head and Beach Club in July!!!

Does anybody who's been to VB recently remember what fountain drinks are available at the poolside soda dispenser? We remember that they had "diet" lemonade (Minute Maid Light?) when we were there two years ago. We want to pick up the appropriate adult beverage to mix with it, if it's still available. We check in May 2nd, after a 3 day Wonder cruise.
Sam

they had minute maid light and I can tell you from experience it mixed well with some Absolut

So it is basically official, the July shuttle launch has slipped to at least mid-November. So in the next day or so I am going to cancel our inn room reservation for August 2-4 and our one bedroom reservation from August 4-7.

I am sad to miss out on the launch and VB, I know it would have been a great trip! My only hope is that the launch slips more to the second half of Dec. or the first week of Dec. as DS has 3 weeks off at Christmas and we could go then.

Thanks everyone for the great info! Enjoy your trips! Hope to make it to VB soon.

Sure:
Capt Hirams in Sebastian Flordia (about 7 miles from Disney VB) has the pier in back with tons of charter boats. My husband just went in person day before he wanted to fish (watch weather forecasts) and spoke with boat captains that were hanging about. Capt Bob was their Capt, (SebastianFishingCo.com 772-446-2204) and he quoted $500 for five hours 7:00 - 12:00. They caught tons of fish and was filet on boat for our fish fry that night. Got charcoal and fixings at Publix and then down to Picnic area in Indian River.
