Hey there, Michelle! Welcome to planDisney! I'm so glad that you've stopped by with your question. I just love chatting Disney with my pals, pal!
My family and I just returned home from our very first stay at
Disney's Vero Beach Resort, and I just cannot say enough wonderful things about this Resort. From the moment you are welcomed home to the gorgeous, renovated lobby by the fantastic Cast Members, you can feel all of your troubles melt away, and you just know that you are in for
the most magical beach vacation. The beach is beautiful, the pool is oh-so-fun, there is an
endless list of
recreation offerings and Resort activities, and
the dining is fantastic. The only thing missing is the character breakfast with Goofy and Donald, and as someone who
loves character dining, I can definitely appreciate your question and am more than happy to answer it.
I spoke with the most helpful Cast Member at Disney's Vero Beach Resort who informed me that unfortunately, the character breakfast with Goofy and Donald at
Wind & Waves Grill has not yet returned, and there have been no announcements about when this character meal will return. I suggest keeping an eye on the
Vero Beach Resort website and the
Disney Parks Blog for the news of the return of character dining as soon as it drops! I'll be wishing upon every star that it returns before your vacation!
While I know this probably was not the answer you were hoping for, and I understand your disappointment, just know that even if character dining does not return before your trip, the Disney magic is alive and well at Vero Beach Resort. Since you are visiting in the last month of the sea turtle nesting season, I definitely recommend stopping by the front desk to inquire about any sea turtle activities that may be going on. We met with a Disney zoologist and conservationist on the beach in the morning, and our interaction with him, learning about sea turtle nesting and tracks, was one of the highlights of my vacation. In fact, the incredible interactions and activities with
all of the Cast Members are how you know you are at a Disney Resort. They are pure magic! It also doesn't hurt that
Wind & Waves Market serves Mickey pretzels, churros, DOLE Whip, and Mickey ice cream bars!
I hope this was helpful, Michelle, and I hope that you have the most fun, magical and unforgettable vacation! Please stop by any time with any planning questions you may have along the way. You've got a friend in me!
I hope to see ya real soon,
Mandy
