When that "100 year hurricane" was predicted to hit, Vero did make preparations. I'm not sure that they actually evacuated. I think someone who posts/posted here was actually at the resort within a day or two. I think she mentioned that many people had cancelled but that there werent' any problems.
That was me...
I believe it was Floyd. We were scheduled in a beach cottage for two nights, if I remember correctly. Well, they ended up closing the resort for one night. So, we cancelled our stay, and they (MS)were more than accomodating with our points (no worries about banked or borrowed points.)
As it turned out, the storm passed thru real quick and, by the next day, the skies were clear. I called that morning and booked again for the next few nights in an Inn Room. (we're two hours away).
The first night we were there (after the closing), the waitress in Shutters said that there only 40 guests registered that night. It was all very cool, except that the fire alarm went off twice during the middle of the night. I can assure all of you - you will NEVER sleep thru the fire alarm at Disney's Vero Beach Resort!
The next day, there were a few people combing the beach with metal detectors - Mike? Was that you?!?
The guy I talked to had found, like, 20 silver pieces. I was absolutely amazed, but he was disappointed. He was looking for the "good stuff."
