We have booked a 2 Bdrm for our July trip. The search function has not worked whenever I get a chance to get on lately. So I would love to see pictures of the resort and rooms from any website links people would recommend.

Thanks to any who can direct !

I can't remember who put together the Vero slideshow about three months ago, but those were by far the best photos of Vero that I have ever seen (no offense to anyone ellse with VB photos).

Anyone else remember this? :cool:

GigaShadow,

From your signature (with VWL), I assume that VB is not your home resort. Did you have any difficulty getting a 2BDR in July?

Our first DVC trip will be in July 2004 also and we chose to stay at BCV since there was availaibility there at 7 months so that we could also go over and look at the models of our home resort, SSR.

The following year or the first year that we can secure a 2BDR, we would like to go to either VB or HHI, so I was glad to see that you were able to get something at 7 months.

We are traveling the week of July 11-16, what week do you have?

Thanks,
Rex

Thanks floridafam......That is an excellent link of pictures of VB. I had saved that also but you beat me to it.:D
 
SSRex,

All 480 points are at VWL. We were originally going to try for the whole 8 day stay at VB (We made 2Bdrm Ress at VWL @ 11 month window to the day) and waited till the 29th (Dec) to call (right on the 7 mth departure date) but changed our minds to do a 1/2 and 1/2 since we still had another year on our Gold Sea World Pass and Son has been Hounding us for 2 yrs to go back to Gatorland.

When we called, the CM sounded unsure if all 4 days we wanted were avaliable on her computer, she put us on hold and called the resort direct, a minute or so later we had our dates. One thing I can say is the earlier you try (when you can) to make/change your ressies the better the odds to get it. We just got back from a non-planned trip to FLA and were able to get a 2 Bdrm at OKW 2 weeks prior to arrival (LUCKY) I had 6 days on points and had to pay cash through Disney itself for the last 2 nights. The parking lot went from a little less than 1/2 full to packed on the 21st - we were down from the 17 - 24th.
 
On Tagrel's website there was a picture of "rental rates". One of the items listed was Cabana daily rental, can this be reserved in advance? Are the Cabana's worth the "extra" because of the location of the resort to the beach? Approximitaly how far can the access to the beach be from the Villa's? This might determine if the Cabana rental is worth its weight in gold.

Anyone?

:wave2:
 
Actually, the umbrellas are much better than the "cabanas" they rent. Having an umbrella allows the air to flow freely through.

DVC members get a discount on umbrella, cabana and chair rentals.
 
The slideshow was great! We will be there in a Beach Cottage in less than 3 days!!! We have seen the inside of one but haven't stayed in one yet.

Can't wait!!!:bounce: :Pinkbounc

Happy New Year to all!

OMG!!!

I just became a DIS Veteran!

That is the highlight of my New Year's Eve!

The Beach is very very close to the resort so the "cabana" which is really a semi circular canvas construct may or may not be needed - we get one to keep our DS's in the shade when they are resting/eating or just taking it all in

In terms of booking at VB with non VB points, we have had great luck so far:

Booked one night mid-Nov in a 2BR only 6 days prior

Booked 2 nights in a BC for late Jan only 28 days prior

Booked 5 nights in a 2BR for early Feb 79 days out - mid Feb did not have all 5 nights available at the time

There are still BC inventory for early Feb as well

Have a great time!

thanks
