Ouch!
Ouch!
While we are at VB (Oct 8), DH and will celebrate our 24th wedding anniversary. Would like to surprise him with a nice dinner by ourselves. Since the family will be with us, he won't be expecting anything.
This is our first trip to VB so not too familiar with the area. We have been to Sebastian once and went to Capt Hiram's. So would like to try a new place either on property or in a nearby town. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
We are thinking of taking a day trip to visit VB during our next WDW trip (in 2 weeks). The family wants to visit in the future (May 2013), so since we (just the 2 of us right now) are in WDW for 2 weeks starting Oct. 12, we are/were thinking of driving to VB for the day. We thought we would have a nice lunch (recommendations please) and visit the beach area. I did see on the DVC website that pool hopping is allowed, though not sure if we want to do that, but might pack our suits anyhow. Has anyone done this recently? Should we bring beach towels? We will be staying at the BWV, so we can prove we are WDW guest. Can we access the beach? Since this next trip is a long one, we certainly have the time to visit. I tried to read this thread, but it's huge and it seems almost everyone loves their stay here.
A new post from Disney Parks Blog states "Disneys Animal Programs team members have marked and monitored 1,381 loggerhead sea turtle nests, 220 green sea turtle nests, and 11 leatherback sea turtle nests so far during the 2012 nesting season, which ends in late October."
I am so grateful to have witnessed this program first hand. What a wonderful experience!!

As of Oct. 1st, Shutters is no longer serving lunch and Bleachers has an expanded menu. For those of you not familiar with the resort, Shutters is a casual table service restaurant within the main building and Bleachers is a poolside walk-up window outdoors. In the article (link below) it states that it isnt clear if discontinuing lunch at Shutters is a seasonal or permanent change.
We have only visited VB once so others may have a better idea if this change is for the best. During our visit we enjoyed Bleachers poolside on several occasions and always were impressed with the food. The updated menu at Bleachers sounds really yummy.
Here is a link with photos of the new menu: http://dvcnews.com/index.php/resort...0-bleachers-menu-expanded-shutters-lunch-ends
