We just got back a few hours ago from 6 awesome nights at VB. I can't rave enough about the CM's at the resort and about what a wonderful time we had. The ocean was very calm on Mon-Wed but turned rougher for the rest of the week. But that didn't stop us from going in. No rain at all except for a brief storm as we left the airport for the drive to Vero. Seriously, this was maybe the best trip that we've taken since joining DVC. We ate at Squid Lips, Capt. Hirams, Shutters. The pizza from Orchid Island was excellent. FYI, Boppys Market next to Orchid is now out of business. We were in Building 12 on the second floor which was perfect and fit all my requests. Online check in worked out perfect. Room was ready at about 3:15 when we checked in. We love VB!!!

Where is this Navy Seal Museum...my husband would enjoy that.

The Navy Seal Museum is off of A1A near Ft. Pierce. They have a website with some info. It is the UDT-Navy Seal Museum.
We went and really enjoyed it. I haven't downloaded the pics yet.

It is a small museum, but we found it enjoyable and informative. Even our DD11 found it to be interesting. She was a crab at first about stopping there, but warmed up to it.
Some nice volunteers working there as well. Cost was minimal, DH was free because he is active duty.

should also note that we ate the Seaside Buffet at the resort and it was quite good. We were impressed with the quality of the food, we don't usually like buffets.

Can anyone please tell me do you have to bring your own beach towels to Vero? Is it like the Water Parks where you have to pay to rent one?
Thank you very much. We are going August 23 and can't wait!

Nope! You get 4 fresh towels in your room, that can be exchanged as much as needed at Eb and Flo's (at the pool). If you do not leave 4 fresh towels in your room upon check-out, you will be charged.

There is a sign that is set-up on the towels in your room that explains this.

Have a great trip, Tiger

Yes, Orchid Island delivers and I would defintely describe it as NY style. It was most excellent.

All the CMs at the resort were super friendly. Its obvious that they take a lot of pride in their work. Its definitely a different vibe than at WDW. Even among the lifeguards. It seems at WDW the lifeguards are younger kids but at VB it seemed they were mostly adults.

Oh, I forgot to mention this earlier but all day Saturday, there was a lifeguard stationed at the gate to the pool area making sure locals were not trying to sneak into the pool.

Hi! We'll be there Monday, August 23, 2010. If, by chance, you are purchasing beach chairs/boogie board and leaving right before I come, I would happily go in for the cost with you?

Thanks.

So, let me guess... considering Lucas' age and your join date... Lucas was a bump in mommy's tummy. Just a guess. I was thinking before that bump was a Disney character.

You got it -Lucas was the 'bump'!!!

FYI you don't have to leave fresh towels on the day you check out......the front desk told us you just need to leave the same number of towels in the room/villa that was there. So if you don't get them switched out ...no worries.

Well tropical storm Bonnie put a damper on our day today. I have a couple restaurant suggestions. We did Mrs Macs Filling Station for lunch and it was yummy. The atmosphere was great too. We ate at Captain Hirams the other night and it was beautiful outside which made it even better. Tonight we had dinner at Mo-Bays and it was one of the best meals I have had in a long time. The jerk chicken ceasar salad was amazing!!! Originally we were going to Mamma Mias italian down the strip mall but they told us it would be a 20 min wait even though there were open tables. So Mo Bays won our business.

This is good to know. We went and got fresh towels specifically to leave in our room, just as we found them.

Thanks, Tiger

Sometimes, I get it. I enjoy it so much when I do.

Thanks!
