I just booked our first ever stay at Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort!!
We arrive on Mother's Day!! May 10 -14th !!
So tell me... what building should I request?! How are the room views?
What are your family traditions at HHI??
My number 1 family tradition on Hilton head is living as we are locals.
Let me know any questions you may have and il answer. Also I will post a short guide to the area tomorrow or Saturday when I have some time.
A dolphin sunset boat cruise is a must and it is within walking distance of the resort. We also like a trip to Harbour town to see the Light House.
Jumping on since we are heading there too...What company did you use for the dolphin cruise? So many choices!
We were also thinking of doing a Dolphin Cruise.. We have a four year old son who I think will love it! I know that the resort offers a cruise, but at $45 a person, that's a little pricey. Wondering if there are any good cruises for cheaper.
Thanks!

I recommend a Zodiak Dolphin tour as they are small boats close to the water so you are right on level with they Dolphins. I forgot the name of the company but it it leaves from the area where Salty Dog is.
The Holiday is a Dolphin Watch ship with multiple trips daily (including the daily sunset cruise and Fireworks Cruise on Tuesday evenings in the summer during Harbourfest). The Holiday is located right in Shelter Cove Harbour right across from the DVC Resort and is only a short walk. The 2015 prices are not yet out but it was $16 for adults and $8 for children during the season. - http://www.hiltonheadisland.com/adventure/ In the photo on the web site, the DVC Resort is the land on the right side of the photo of the boat. The Holiday is a fairly large ship, so the encounter is not as up-close as the smaller boats but you will see a lot of Dolphin during the cruise and Captain Mark does a great job narrating the cruise. The cruise is about 90 minutes in duration.
There is also the Crabber J - which offers crabbing trips daily (in season). Our grandkids have gone on this several times and have a lot of fun. It is a catch-and-release program and the child who catches the most gets a Crabber T-Shirt.
We are also local to HH and I am looking out the window at the Holiday (and the DVC Resort) as I type this!
