Splitting stay with Vero and WDW

[vbarry]

Thinking of four nights at WDW and 3 nights at Vero. Is this too much moving in a one week trip? (with DD 2 1/2 and DD 6??) I keep looking at the photos of Vero and they are beautiful. We cannot stay any longer this year due to my husband's job change.

Anyone know if there is any availability left for this summer??

Please tell me your experiences slitting WDW stays with Vero!!

The age of your children I think they will like Disney more. Vero offers beach and not much more for small kids. The time of year would make a difference also, wormer weather would be better to enjoy the beaches at vero.

If I could only stay 10 nights ...then I think it would work.

It just seems it is a lot of running around for a 7 night stay.

I know my children would enjoy WDW more but we go every year and I have never taken our youngest to the beach!!!

Decisions....Decisions!!

The best thing to happen is if I called MS and they said nothing was available and then my decision is made!!!

augh.... you pierce my heart.

You are sorely mistaken... VB is probably the resort with the most activities for young children.

OP... this would be a wonderful trip. Many people followup WDW with VB and find it a perfect blend.

Good Luck

I am going to bump this.


Has anyone done 4 nights at WDW and then 3 at Vero or 5 nights at WDW and 2 at Vero or does anyone have any thoughts on this plan??

Also-how do you get a rental car from OKW??

We have a split stay scheduled for December. 4 days at WDW followed by 2 days at Vero. We've only been to Vero once (also in December). Not looking for a lot of water activities at that time of the year, just a couple of relaxing days enjoying our 2nd DVC home.

Nothing may be available, so if that's your wish it would be granted!

You can rent a car from Alamo, which is at the Car Care Center and will pick you up. Alternately you can use National, and get it at the Swan/Dolphin.

Alone as a couple and with guests with children, we have broken up vacations with VB and WDW and have enjoyed each one. We are planning a 3/3 night vacation next year, and our DGC will be 3, 4 and 5. There are lots of things for the little ones to do at VB!

I could agree more with DisDaydreamer....... I split stays between BWV and VB every summer for the past 5 years and my kids (4,9,10) love VB as much as WDW. The kids activities are simley the BEST!!!!

Hello,

We are spliting our stay in 3 weeks. We are going down on Friday May 4th, landing in Orlando and renting a car. I believe it should take between 1.5 to 2 hours to get to Vero. We will stay 3 nights in vero and then wake up early on Monday May 7th and drive to the Beach Club villas for 5 more nights.

While this is 8 nights and not 7 , I think 7 would be fine also. We are doing Vero first so that we have WDW to look forward to. We are going to get to WDW as easly as possible on Monday the 7th so we can get almost a full day in the parks.

We did a split stay in February, 3 nights in VB followed by 2 nights at SSR.

I was shocked when I was sad to leave Vero!

No matter how many visits, and in spite of bad weather, we feel sad to leave VB too!

I just did 3 nights at Vero and 3 at BWV. I felt 3 nights at BWV was too short. 3 at Vero and 4-5 at BWV would have been great.

The sad day... It happens every time.

We split stay with Vero - it's mostly Vero with a WDW day bookending it just to split up the drive for us.

As for activities, last year DD7 had a broken arm and could not swim - and she still rated the VB part of the trip above the Disney days.

Well...I have waitlisted for July 2-5th. I know this is probably a long shot over the holiday. I waitlisted for every category of room other than the beach cottage.

Any luck with getting a Vero waitlist??

When should I call and check or should I??
