Anyone know the price of the character breakfast ?
Last month it was $16.99 for adults and $10.99 for children 3-9.

We have been going to Disney Vero Beach Resort since we bought points there in '98. We love the area. So because we love the area so much we bought our retirement condo right across the street from Disney Vero Beach Resort at Coralstone. Coralstone's property boarders Disney's park lot across A1A. Our beach access it to the right of the resort. Now all we have to do is retire which won't be for another 3 years. Maybe I'll get a job at the resort.
The only problem is that now we might never stay at Disney's Vero Beach Resort again.

Well it looks like we will be giving up part of our signature...
Currently in the process of selling our VB points. A few reasons; a few two many points, that reallocation a couple years ago really hurt our plans, were feeling very uncomfortable owning beach front with global warming, and DD is looking a $$$$ colleges
I'm sure we will still visit VB but feel more comfortable this way.
I was hoping I could get some advice. We normally stay by the parks the whole time we are in Florida and we are debating on giving VBR a try for Nov 18-20 before we start our normal vacation at the parks for a week. Is there enough to do at that time of the year the kids and my wife will no kill me for keeping them away from the parks?
Is there any thing you would say is a must do. My family is my DW, DS 11, DD 9, DD 7 and I. We have talked about giving it a try for years but always opt for the park.
Thanks for any advice.
Hey everyone. I just wanted to make you aware of a couple of in-progress trip reports that include Vero Beach stays. Both are part-way through the Vero Beach portion.
The first is my DIS-friend Cynthia's (eandesmom) and can be found here.
The second is mine, and can be found here.
They both have links in the first or second post, if you'd like to skip right to Vero Beach chapters.
Enjoy!

If you love the turtles and want a chance to get up close and personal (and see hatchlings), you may want to consider a day trip to Juno Beach - the area's turtle "hospital" and rehabilitation center. It's funded in part by the Disney Conservation Fund you donate to at Animal Kingdom. It's a great facility with a museum and hospital you can view. There are lots of turtles and they have tons of hatchlings that they rescue and release. It's very worth a trip and there's a great beach right next to it! http://marinelife.org/
Seems I've killed the thread already. Bump!
Hi everybody, Thanks for all your advice on our first Vero Beach trip. we spent 3 wonderful days there the first week of October. When we left to head to Old Key West, the family was was disappointed and would have liked to stay for the rest of the week. This was a big family trip with 3 generations. We had originally planned on a two bedroom, but when we found out that the second bedroom had a sofa bed (even in the dedicated units) we switched to three standard rooms in the main building. This ended up working out fine for us. Here is a video of our trip and I think it gives a good account of the resort. the first 7 minutes or so are of Vero Beach, the second half are of Old Key West ending with a bike ride from OKW to Saratoga Springs. Make sure to choose the highest resolution available.
Enjoy! http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=plcp&v=nqnOXUwvjm4
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.
Hi all. Have read thru part of the thread and have a question. Has anyone walked/ran/biked the jungle trail? I'm training for the Princess Half and this weekend calls for 5miles I see an easy way to get to the start ; less than a mile from the resort. Also can you rent bikes and take them on this trail? My kids might want to join me on bikes. We are checking in Friday and leaving Sunday. Any other cheap activities that might be fun for a 16 & 12 year old? We're on a budget and could only afford this with my husband's cm discount. Thanks
