A Disney blog with Contests, Tips, and More.
I am making a list of sites that have tools to help in planning Disney DVC vacations. While there are many out there, I don’t have the resources to find all of them. If you have one, then comment here, and I will make sure it gets into my listing. Here are a few that I have.
Here is some information about the Disney DVC Resort Vero Beach.
While I am a Disney lunatic, I am also a person that likes a good resort. My family stayed at the Vero Beach resort last year prior to sailing on the 7 Night Disney Cruise. The resort itself is very well kept, and “Slightly” Disney themed. The rooms are designed in the “hotel” configuration that I refer to quite often. While there are no characters to the best of my knowledge, the resort is mainly for the getaway vacation in my opinion.
When you leave the Vero Beach gates you enter into “Real World.” We went out to get food, and find other activities, as in my impressions, there wasn’t much to do. The drive to most places outside of the resort isn’t a short one either.

I don’t know much about this resort, as it isn’t open yet, but here are some videos that I have found on it.
Disney Vacation Club Members have a special opportunity to preview Disney’s Kim Possible World Showcase Adventure at Epcot®, an immersive new experience designed to turn Guests into crime-fighting secret agents. This is a chance to experience the adventure before it opens officially to Guests.
First, here’s the scoop (or “the sitch,” as Kim would say) about the attraction:
Inspired by the hit Disney Channel animated television series “Kim Possible,” the attraction allows Guests of all ages to become secret agents by volunteering at recruitment centers throughout the Park (look for them in the Future World area and near the International Gateway), where they’ll receive their mission assignment. Upon reporting for duty, recruits will get their “way cool Kimmunicators” (interactive, handheld, cell-phone-like devices that will help maneuver agents through their mission) and head out on their adventure in one of seven participating World Showcase pavilions (China, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Norway and the United Kingdom).
The Kimmunicators will connect agents with a variety of “Kim Possible” characters who will provide clues to help stop villains from carrying out their plans. Each mission is designed with groups in mind (2-4 agents can share a Kimmunicator) and can last anywhere from 30-45 minutes. Kimmunicators even recognize when a team has broken away from the action (even secret agents need restroom breaks) and will alter the mission accordingly.
Now, here’s the scoop about the Disney Vacation Club Member preview:
Disney Vacation Club Members may embark on missions available Jan. 23-25 from 11 a.m.-7 p.m. (Missions begin every 15 minutes.) Missions are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Members and their Guests will begin their missions by reporting to the Team Possible Recruitment Center located on the bridge leading from Future World to World Showcase at Epcot. Members must present their Member ID card or their Key to the World card displaying a Member designation.
Good luck!
