Are all inn rooms ocean view?

No. You can choose ocean or standard.

Ok! Thank you. I hope it is finished by Thanksgiving. I just may try to book in December.

Me, too! We head to Vero on 11/21. Won't be a huge deal if we can't use the pool, but would be nice.

There is only
one pool correct?

Anyone have any trip reports since all the renovations started and with the covid restrictions? We have never been and I'm trying to decide if its worth it to stay there or just go to a beach (maybe even Vero Beach) without staying at the resort.

I’ll be there in 3 weeks to give a report

Well I was just there last weekend and the renovations hadn’t started. Not sure what you want to know Covid wise though. I’m still anxious to go back it was so nice. We will do the fishing next time and be adulting, the kids don’t want to travel again anytime soon. They are such home bodies. We did do kids crafts 2 days, they played games, slide races etc. I hope to go off property and explore a bit more next time. When are the renovations to end?

I think end of November. I have reservations for nov 7 so I need to cancel by oct 7 and am going some people can tell me if all the closed things means I should stay at beach club instead I’m glad to hear about kids crafts though. My kids love those.

If I were taking kids, I would def go where the pool would be open. I would say maybe Boardwalk? But Boardwalk didn’t have kids activities, Vero def had more kids stuff. BWV felt pretty normal to me expect much less crowded. I did a split stay. We’re planning on going back mid Nov and I hope the pool is open then.

I would want the pool open. We are not big pool people, but in Vero’s case it is a major part of the resort. There is not much else there. Mini golf is also under renovation.

Ok. You guys convinced me to drop it or at least wait for the trip reports while it’s all under reno. I know renovations have to happen but it stinks when they longer and last your whole trip.

 

[My3kids1989]

I’m torn between buying VB or SSR. I think I would book 11 mo out at Vero but not at SSR but the pp is much better at SSR. Does anyone have advice when I would need to book 11 mo out at Vero?

What sort of room and what time of year are you looking for?

More importantly, are you looking for a guaranteed stay at WDW??

 

[My3kids1989]

I can stay anywhere at WDW, whenever. It’s pretty easy to get to. I felt like Vero required a bit more planning since it’s a drive from the airport. I just really liked the beach and think we would plan trips there more around the kids school schedules, so Dec and March. I’m thinking a 1 bedroom if we all go and just a studio if it’s just 2 of us.

So far I’ve used 183 BWV points I just got in September for 3 trips. A split stay at SSR and BWV, both Studios, a split stay at Vero (Oceanview Studio) and a 1 bedroom at BWV, and a third one coming up VB Oceanview studio in Nov. I’m just burning the expensive points, not that all the trips weren’t worth it ha

 

[nzdisneymom]

It's been years since we had our one and only stay at VB and then we were in one of the rooms in the main building. Now we have a reservation for a week in January in a 2BR. There will be four adults (last time we were there with children so it was mostly pool time and mini-golf) so we're starting to read up on what we might expect to do at the resort / nearby for adults. How are the 2BR villas set up and do they vary depending on location on the property? Is there an area you'd recommend requesting in advance vs. just taking whatever is assigned?

We had a cruise booked for the week but decided to make a back-up plan just in case - I'm glad we did.

 

[DisneyGirlFlorida]

Anyone at Vero Beach currently or been in the past few weeks? How are things there? I know the pools are closed, and I'm fine with that. Going mostly for the beach and R&R. What is there to do in the nearby area? I booked a weekend getaway for my sister and I for the last weekend in October and will be driving down from Northcentral FL area. I know the pools are closed, what about bike rentals? Other activities?

Any insight is appreciated.

 

[RSHEALAND]

Just checked in for a few days, if anyone has any questions I’ll try to get an answer
