Did a similar trip July of 2013 with my then 16 year old daughter. Same home resort, we did the WL tour, one day at TL, as well as the Backstage Magic Tour. Walked over to Fort Wilderness, Downtown Disney, Dinner at Boma, pool hopping to BW and Poly. It was a great trip, one of my favorites!

Thanks for all these responses and clarifying a lot of things for me. It is my daughter and myself going and her best friend and her mother offsite. The girls have planned to do this trip for years (they are seniors in HS now). So the plan was for them TO do everything pretty much together...

Can they buy their magic bands ahead of time to book it 30 days out? How do they do that?

Not sure if this is the place to post this question, but appreciate any help. We are headed to WDW in Feb and will be staying at the VWL. This is our first trip since they introduced Magic Bands. Another family we are traveling with has made reservations offsite. I was talking with a friend...

Thanks, Doc. We do a big shop the first day at PW and then just ride bikes there during the week to get any extra items we need. Really hoping there is some way we can do this.

Doc it looks like on those mall plans that Shelter Cove Lane is closed now. We are going down next month and often ride our bikes on that route to get to Piggly Wiggly. Do you know if the bike lanes are still open, or are we now blocked from going that way to the PW shopping center?

Has anyone had any experience with Parasail Hilton Head? Thinking of using them to go parasailing with my daughter in an upcoming trip. Was wondering if anyone has used them.

You are lucky . . . we lost a ton and the April break is the last to go . . . used up the allotment of extra days built in, added on to the end of the year in June, made a Friday of President's weekend a half day rather than off. Looks like we are good this week with the weather, but still have...

We will hopefully be checking in on April 14th and checking out on the 20th. Will be our 12th year, but right now the school district has already taken away the Monday and Tuesday from our vacation due to Hurricane Sandy and snow days. If any more days get taken away we will definitely be...

I did call MS and they did have all 5 of us on it. I don't remember doing it, and I never got an updated email from them reflecting this. Florep1 -- sounds like we are in the same stage in life. We have 3 -- 2 eldest in college also, and for the first time in 11 years we went to DHHIR without...

We will be staying at OKW for the first time in less than a month. We have a one bedroom. All of them have the sleeper chair now, right? We were not sure if our eldest was going to be able to come when we made the reservation, and now we know he can. He is not on the original reservation...

We'll need transportation big enough for 5 and luggage to switch from OKW to Royal Pacific. Anyone have suggestions and an estimate of what this will cost us? We'll need transportation from RP to MCO a few days later too. Thanks!

At the end of June we will be moving from OKW to Universal's Royal Pacific. We are not renting a car this trip, and will need a cab / taxi for 5 of us. We'll naturally have luggage for all (though we are trying to keep it light). We had to do this a couple of years ago, but don't remember who...

Thanks for posting the photo, looks pretty nice. Was it noisy? Sometimes I read horror stories about how noisy the studios under the grand villas are. I'm going to miss that bench and the hooks - that is where we hang out bike helmets and put our tennis racquets!

Thanks for the response. This is our 11th year going, but the first time not in a 2 bedroom villa. Two sons now in college and not able to join us (first time the entire family is not going), so with just 3 of us (and an upcoming trip to WDW we needed points for) we decided on a studio. I...

Do the studios at HHI that are NOT in the main building (I know there are just a few) have decks that you can sit outside on? If so, is there a table and chairs out on them? Thanks!

We will be there from 4/1 to 4/7. Our 11th year, but first time not as a whole family. Two in college now.

This is really sad to hear. I hope it does not continue, nor grow to be a larger problem as time goes on. As stated earlier, we have 2 in college now (and a third in a few years), but not enough points to give to our kids for use like this.

Are the college kids actually staying at the Disney Resort or just on HHI in general? We used to have a March break years ago with our school system and when we would go down there then we did not find that to be the case. That is a real shame that is happening (and I have 2 in college).

What about a laundry basket?
