Liquid Sunshine

Local citrus growers donated their personal juice labels to decorate the walls of Disney's Vero Beach Resort. Of particular interest are the Donald Duck orange and grapefruit juice labels on display. This brand was created by Citrus World in 1940 through a licensing agreement with the Walt Disney Company. The wonderful vintage designs (one label carries a copyright from 1942) are a perfect addition to the resort, combing local culture and Disney magic.

Citrus Mickey

Hidden amongst the orange trees in the lobby of Disney's Vero Beach Resort are these familiar Mickey-shaped fruits.

From Here to There

Disney's Vero Beach Resort may be a couple hours away from its fellow Vacation Club locations, but that doesn't mean guests should feel lost while they are visiting. This sign post will help point you in the right direction, whether you are heading to the beach, Hilton Head, or the Wilderness Lodge.

Indian River

Vero Beach sits in Indian River County, so named for the lagoon that runs through it. The area is world famous for its citrus which makes up a large share of the industry. Disney's Vero Beach Resort embraces the history of the surrounding area, and locally-inspired details can be found in almost every corner of the property. Even the tables in the lobby are created to look like citrus packing crates, printed with the Indian River name. As many of the local citrus growers donated material for Disney to use, the Orchid label is most likely the Orchid Island Growers Inc. company, which is located in Wabasso.

A Day at the Beach

While Disney's Vero Beach Resort might lie a couple hours away from Walt Disney World, it's nice to see it has those familiar Disney touches, even down to those wonderful trash cans.
