Did you know that there is an incredible Disney beach resort just 2 hours away from Disney World in Florida. Disney’s Vero Beach Resort, located in Vero Beach Florida, is a hidden gem. This DVC resort is the perfect place to unwind; either after your Disney World vacation or as a standalone beach vacation. Many families enjoy visiting Disney’s Vero Beach Resort because of its laid-back nature, beautiful private beach, heated pool with waterslide, splash playground for the kids, and fun activities throughout the day. If you find yourself at Disney’s Vero Beach this year then continue reading on some ways to spend your downtime on your Disney beach vacation!
Character Breakfast at Wind & Waves Grill
Disney’s Vero Beach Resort is home to a sit-down restaurant called Wind & Waves Grill. This restaurant serves seaside favorites like Fish & Chips, Salmon, and Shrimp and Grits for dinner. But on Saturday mornings guests can dine in for a character breakfast with Goofy and Pluto. From 8am to noon on Saturdays, guests can take photos with and meet these Disney pals while they dine on a pastry boat filled with delicious goodies, and enjoy entrees like Bananas Foster French Toast, Blueberry Pancakes, and more. If you won’t be at the resort on a Saturday morning you can still enjoy a delicious breakfast without characters. Wind & Waves Grill is also open for dinner every day.
Beachside Picnic from Wind & Waves Market
Relaxing at the beach is first on the itinerary of many guests when they arrive at Disney’s Vero Beach Resort. Occasionally, Disney will offer beachside service for drinks and meals as guests are relaxing by the water. Even if beachside service is not currently being offered, the close proximity of the beach to Wind & Waves Market makes it easy to grab items for a beachside picnic. Nothing says beach vacation than picnicking at the beach!
Relax at the Pool
Disney’s Vero Beach Resort is home to an incredible heated pool that is complete with a twisting waterslide. This pool is large enough for guests to really swim around with varying depths for swimmers of all kinds. A kids water play area is located nearby with a small slide and splash pool and themed after a fallen boat. Even the smallest swimmers can enjoy their downtime at Vero Beach.
Community Hall Activities
Like many DVC resorts, Disney’s Vero Beach is home to a Community Hall where guests can participate in crafts and other activities. Guests can check the schedule for the week of their visit upon check in and sign up for any activities that might require an additional cost or registration. There are many free crafts and activities offered for guests of any age.
Mini Golf and Other Fun
Disney’s Vero Beach Resort is also home to a miniature golf course, shuffle board, ping pong, tennis courts, and more. Eb and Flo’s Rentals acts as a hub for all activities where guests can rent out equipment and check out the current offerings.
