Community Hall Activities
Disney’s Vero Beach Resort’s Community Hall is the perfect place to visit when vacationing with your big kids.

If your kids are mainly interested in the beach you can also rent beach chairs or cabanas for the entire day for your family to use and enjoy.

Water Sports And Excursions
If your big kid needs more of a thrill than you can also rent water sport gear like boogie boards, kayaks, and more. More information on water sport availability can be gathered at the front desk during check-in. Excursions like fishing lessons can be booked for an additional fee. Guests aged 7 or older can take part in this guided lesson and fish on Vero Beach’s private lake for some catch and release fun.
