Thanks! Is it held everyday?

No, I do not think so, but I do not know which days. You are only able to sign up for 1 unbirthday party per visit.

I cannot wait to be back soon! This will be out forth time in four years. My sons, 5 and 16, also love it. We are going on a cruise and then heading to Vero after.

We did the Kayak tour last year and loved it!

Can you guys tell me about the unbirthday party? When is it offered and for what ages? Thanks.

The unbirthday party was offered a couple of times when we were there (not everyday). You sign up at Ebb and Flow the day of. It's free and I think for ages 4+. We dropped the little ones off and didn't stay with them. They loved it...cupcake, piñata, musical chairs, etc. it lasted an hour.

Unfortunately no, we just checked out after a 3 day stay, there was no unbirthday party the whole time, maybe next time

I think everyone who will be in the room should be on the reservation. You will only run into a problem if you bring more people than are allowed in the room type you're booked to stay in. If it were me I would just call and add them to save time when you get there.

Thank you for the response.

I like to avoid calling Member Services if I can. But, I had to call anyway. Because our plans weren't completely set, I booked more days than we will need.

Heading to vero in two weeks. Question on check in. Do they unload your car and take your bags to your room or do you do that yourself? We were surprised when this happened at animal kingdom and wanted to know what to expect when we arrive.

I have a 1 bedroom reserved in October, how do I get an Ocean view? I reserved through DVC? Last time I got a studio with a parking lot view.

When you're booking through DVC, the Ocean View rooms require a few extra points. That said, you need to request it and be prepared to hand over about 3 or so more points per night.

Also a note for pin traders: If you're staying at Vero, bring plenty to trade! DW and I had one of the best pin trading experiences we've had since March. We found pieces to sets that we had never actually seen in the parks, and nearly finished a couple of smaller sets we had been working on.

The pin trading board is available at the gift shop from 2-4pm, and there is a pin trading session in the lobby once or twice per week. Plus, a lot of CMs around the lobby and gift shop had lanyards.

Good luck! That was our first contract when we joined, and I'm working on trying to buy more from there.

There are no Bell Services available at Vero. However, they do have carts available for you to use!

I'm wondering the same thing! We arrive a week from Wednesday!

I did not see that option when booking? Do I need to call?

Ulysses' comment only applies to the Inn Rooms where Ocean View Inn Rooms require a few more points per night than the Garden View Inn Rooms. For villa accommodations (studio, 1BR, 2BR) specific views are simply requests that can be noted your reservation but are not guaranteed.

Does anyone have any advice for requests with online check in? We're going to be in a ocean view inn room but a lot of request options popped up when I started the process & I'm at a loss other than maybe a higher floor.

TIA

Some of the Ocean view rooms are on the sides of the building and face the pool. You have to go out to the balcony in these rooms and look left to see the ocean.... Request high floors facing the ocean.
