Vero Beach Adoration 2010 Thread *** Closed now *** Links to 2011 Thread inside

Hi Chrissy,
I've never done this breakfast and I'm not even sure in the past couple years of doing our VB Adoration thread if anyone has posted pics or anything ? Maybe I'll have to book it next stay !? Just to see what it's all about.....

To my knowledge, it's only Goofy and Donald and I would suggest booking as far ahead as possible....no less than 3-4 weeks at best. I think it can fill up fast. I believe it's eggs, mickey waffles, bacon, fruit etc ? Wish I had more details for you. Hope this helps

I am wondering how easy it is to get onto the beach,meaning is there just one main access point at the main pool resort area?The only other beach experience my DD knows is the outerbanks in NC.So this will be way more action then she is use too!We are flying so we cant pack beach chairs so I ordered a set and am having them delivered to the resort(Thanks to the great advice on this board,thank you)Another question is how far away can the villas be from the parking of cars?Is there Bell Services to help me with the luggage situation?Thank you so much for all the great advice on this board it has really helped me plan an amazing get away!(My husband is going to Vegas!LOL)Anyone have any suggestions from past experience lay it on me!

I'll try to answer your questions. I was just there this week for the first time. From the pool area there is a short bridge/ramp to the beach. You need your key card to access the beach and return. There is parking under the buildings (except for the cottages) and just outside the buildings so it is always fairly close. I was asked at check in if I needed help with luggage which I didn't, but there were also luggage carts in the garage at the elevators.

Have a great time at Vero Beach! I really enjoyed it and looking forward to returning soon!

Do you know who is there and how far in advance do I need to make reservations.

The current CB does feature Goofy and Donald. Previously it was Goofy and Max. I agree that you should make a ressie as early as possible as often many locals also make ressies.

AerialShot of VB. Friend of a Friend in Sebastian took it from his aircraft.

Hey Mike... Thanks for the photo. You're like our eyes and ears on the ground. Thanks for the many shots and info you have provided, from the mystery grave marker to the beach renovation, and everything else.

You're welcome. Just happy to pitch in a penny or two. Thank you and others for making this such a great thread providing experiences and info. Also for taking the time to put all of the info together
in one area. 30+ years around the area has helped. Yikes it's been that long since beach bum college days Getting old. It would be nice to remember half of which you forget. LOL

We are getting ready to head back to VB in less than a month.

This is my favorite picture I took from our first trip there, last June. I took it at sunset.

My DH swears there is a shark fin on the right side of the picture

We're making our packing list and trying to decide.. do we bring chairs with us, buy some chairs while we're there or just sit on the beach.

Good Ol Gal, that's gorgeous!

We were there in Sept 09- LOVED that breakfast!! The characters were Goofy & Donald- Donald was a FLIRT! He wanted to take us out for DRINKS!!

The food came out in courses, and it was all delicious- especially those breakfast potatoes!! If you wanted more of anything, they were happy to bring out more- even Mickey Waffles.

There were several varieties of pastries in this cone-

Goofy wanted to dance-

The character interaction was GREAT! At the end of our breakfast, they wrapped up everything we wanted to take with us- which was the fruit and the pastries.

But Donald! What about DAISY!?!

We will be in a studio but would LOVE to make some
fancy cocktails, can I call up at the front desk and get a blender delivered to our room would they do that or should I pack one??

[jknepfle]

Anyone know for sure if I can use my Vero Beach parking pass at Epcot? I want to drive from Vero directly to Epcot. I don't have annual passes and I don't want to have to check in to our WDW hotel before going to Epcot so we can be sure to make rope drop. TIA!

I don't see the shark fin.....but it's hardly a far fetched possibility. The waters there are loaded with sharks.

Could be perfect timing for you. Going to be a fun Memorial Day Weekend. Captain Hiram's and the Sebastian Beach Inn both have Reggae Music on Sundays. Two great places to listen to live music.
Captain Hiram's Resort Complex is on Indian River Drive in nearby Sebastian(10 minutes from VB Resort) Not sure how long you are staying but a number of us will be there on the 30th. Music starts at 12noon with the CocoLocos (Surf Rock) Ila Mawana Reggae Band at 3:30 followed by Reggae Star Pato Banton at 8:30.
On the 31st just follow us up to the Reggae Party at Sebastian Beach Inn. No cover charge on the outdoor deck.
It is located about 5 miles north of the Sebastian Inlet on A1A (just turn right out of resort and head north about 10 miles)
Be safe Obey the speedlimits. Can guarantee speedtraps on the Wabasso Causeway headed to/from the Resort and AIA near the Inlet Memorial Day Weekend. Have fun!!

Due to all of the radio reports here in MA, talking about the probability of the oil slick entering the "loop current" and traveling through the Keys and up the East Coast of Fla, DH decided to cancel our October trip to Vero. I am very disappointed, as I was well into planning for a week at the beach.
All is not lost as we did book a week at SSR.
We first tried to book BCV, our home, BWV, VWL, AKL Jambo and Kidani, BLT and the were all booked for our week in early October.
Hopefully the reports are premature and wrong about the oil spill.
We will look forward to a Vero Beach trip next year.
