Overview
- Jan. 2 coverage spotlighted the 2025–26 New Year’s celebration at Disney’s Vero Beach Resort, a DVC property on Florida’s Atlantic coast about two hours from Walt Disney World.
- Guests gathered around the pool for a countdown and jumped in together at midnight, a standing substitute for fireworks restricted to protect sea turtles and other beachfront wildlife.
- Goofy, Donald Duck, and Pluto appeared in formal attire at poolside to help ring in the new year with attendees.
- The celebration is presented as simple, inclusive, and community‑building, aligning with the resort’s smaller scale and intimate atmosphere.
- Photos and social clips from the event circulated this week, drawing attention to a lesser‑known corner of Disney’s Vacation Club portfolio.
