A view of the pool area at Disney's Vero Beach Resort

Disney's Vero Beach Resort offers a Mickey Mouse-shaped swimming pool, one of two pools built by Disney with shapes like this, following Shades of Green's Millpond, Mickey Mouse-shaped pool. The pool is flanked by Pirate's Plunge pool slide.

The pool is surrounded by Port Holes Miniature Golf (a nine-hole Peter Pan-themed miniature golf course), Community Hall (an air-conditioned room with board games, table tennis, and arts and crafts), Anchors’ A-Weigh fitness center, Eb and Flo's rentals, and Rub Dubs massage. The Blinker's Arcade was previously offered with a variety of classic and updated arcade games, but has since been removed as of April 2016.

A complete resort activities program targeted at families is offered daily. Beach equipment rentals are provided by an on-site partner. A volleyball court, soccer field, fishing pier, lighted tennis courts, and a basketball hoop are located on the western half of the property, which can be accessed through a passage under highway A1A.

The Spa at Disney's Vero Beach is available, and, in season, Turtle Nesting Grounds are nearby.^[2]
