I know I know I shouldnt be worried about cell reception on vacation however its more about safety!I feel like my daughter has a little bit more freedom if her cell phone works!Also on a side note I just read on a TR that while vacationing at DVB they closed the beach,I mean like they came along to sun bathers and said the beach is closing.Not because of a storm,poster didnt really say why and I dont think they questioned why or maybe they just didnt elaborate on it in their TR.Is there operational hours on the beach?

ohhh, I'd like to know about beach closing also?
It will be my dh, dd-16, ds-12 and my mom. We set up in the morning, stay all day, pack up at dinner (around there) and go out. Sometimes we walk on the beach at night or stay and have some beer, wine and cheese.
Do they have a time that the beach actually close? If they were moving sunbathers, it means it was during the day while sun was out????

We're In! After waiting until the 7 month mark arrived we booked 12/26 to 12/31. We weren't sure how much demand there was for the week between Christmas and NYE, but the CM assured DW that this is not a peak time.

I've had no problems whatever using my cell at DVB - the most likely problem you'd have *might* be from inside a buillding as they are steel framed. I've used mine in a beach cottage without issue.

As to the "beach closing" unless the TR was talking about the recent (this spring) beach replenishment project - this makes no sense to me at all. The beach infront of the resort (as in all of FL) is public and do not "close". If you can link to the TR maybe I could make more sense of this. My only quick guest *might* be that the reporter had rented beach chairs etc and that that service was closing at the end of the day??

Excellent Rob!! LOL! If my family situation permitted...that timeframe would be a "peaktime" for me to be there!!

I am going to go look for the TR again I read it last night I dont have a link but the TR was titled something like going to disney after beating breast cancer!Very touching report!

Is anyone getting nervous about the oil spill and Vero?
We are to arrive on July 23 in a two-bedroom using our points and just hoping the water will be fine.

I have a 16 year old daughter and a 12 year old son, are there activities even at that age or is it mostly for little kids.

Can't wait to just sit on the beach and not do a thing other than decide where to go for dinner that night

Hey I have a 16 year old son and 11 1/2 year old son, plus daughter age 19. We arrive on the 21st for 4 nights. Maybe we will see you there or maybe they will meet and have some DVC friends to meet up with.

I hope the oil spill won't be a factor either.

 

[DisDaydreamer]

Have a great time!!!!

Thanks, Miss "A". Hope all is well with you and your family. I miss the back and forth VB posts we used to have. I imagine we've both become tweeners with the DISboards. I can't remember if you have taken your VB trip or if it is yet to come. Do you think you all will find a permanent place for yourselves there this year?

Take care my friend.

I have found with AT&T that the only problem is when I stand right behind the INN building. Otherwise, no problem.

Our family situation has made us say... "Get us out of town."

Yeah, I check in every couple of weeks - more often when I'm close to a trip. Glad you are making it back to VB - and what a great time of year to go. We leave for our trip tomorrow - my parents don't think we'll come back!

I still think it's going to be 5 years before we relocate.

I'm going to post a live report w/daily VB photos to share the love.
