There is a review on tripadvisor that says there is an extensive room refurb slated for January. Can anyone confirm?

I can't confirm it yet, but we'll be there in 2 weeks. I'll ask then.

We are going to spend a day in Savannah also. I already have my reservation made at Paula Deen's.

Paula's: No No.

Go to Mrs, Wilkes for lunch. Jones Street. Look for the lines. Best food in the SouthEast US (Thus the whole country).


Vinnie Van Go-Gos is great for Pizza if you are looking that way, but, they only take cash.

please ignore this post. (But not the last one )

What kind of food do they have? How long is the wait usually?

Does anyone know if you can get a list of the activities at the resort ahead of time? We are checking in this weekend and I would love to make some plans

Mrs Wilkes has southern type food. Mrswilkes.com gives you an idea. Love, absolutely love vinnie van go go's. Leoplold's has great ice cream.

I really want to try Mrs. Wilkes, but I'm not sure my wild 3 year old can handle waiting in line for as long as it says you have to! I might give it a shot though!

 

[Conan the Librarian]

You are right about that. But, you will have to wait for Paula's too.

Maybe not so bad now that the tourist season is over. Good luck all the same.

Yes, Stratton L. has great ice cream. Go get some! When I was a kid, they had a store about 4 blocks from my house. My sister would take us over there if we were good. Didn't happen too often

For Paula's I suggest making a reservation. You can do it in person the same day if you arrive early and don't mind having a late lunch or early supper.

DD told me last night the resort is sold out for Thanksgiving and Christmas. If you're going to be there during the holidays you won't be alone!

Booked a last minute trip to HHI in a 2 bedroom condo in shipyard plantation. Sat 23- Sat 30 screaming deal ($395 out the door). We love the island, but it's never as good when we are not staying at Disney. Well I just checked and there was availability for a Studio From Monday to Thanksgiving....and I booked it. I think my wife and ds(8) will be excited for 10pts per night what the heck. Just hoping I can keep it a secret until then

Has anyone been able to confirm this?

We're here now, and yes, it was explained to me this morning that it's slated to start in January, and what some of the rehab is going to involve. One thing is strange, though-although the HHI resort will eventually go to triple sheeting, the January rehab includes new bedspreads. At least the roof will remain red!

Is it a soft goods refurb only or will it be a major remodel like OKW? Did they mention if they are starting at the lodge or how long it might take to complete? Thanks

It will just be within the rooms, but countertops will be changed (going to granite), and there'll be changes to the center island. Appliances will change (maybe stainless), furniture, and the new couch will probably be more comfortable. Not sure of the schedule, but probably a few buildings at a time. I think they're being pretty ambitious, starting right after the holidays, January is always slowest anyways, and hoping to be done by summer. I don't know if the Main Lodge is first or last. Oh, they have chips in their refillable mugs now and the machine talks to you (telling you where to put the mug)!
