We are thinking of heading to HH for Thanksgiving. We have been there before and loved it- but it was spring break and there was a lot going on. Anyone been there at Thanksgiving? Is it dead, or are there a lot of activities going on? What was the weather like? Any special holiday activities?
 
We have done many trips to HH for TG and loved every one of them. While the weather is cooler, you can swim in the pool and certainly use the hot tub. There were always plenty of resort activities and things to do and explore on the island. We find off season there great for trying some of the restaurants that are more difficult to get a reservation at during the summer. The beach is enjoyable for walking and sunning, but the ocean will be too cold for swimming. Although, our kids did swim one year b/c they didn't mind the cold water. We bring kites for the beach in the off season...there is plenty of space on the beach for flying or other sand type games. We also rent bikes which are great in the cooler weather. It has been a few years since we have been there, but the resort has sold deep fried turkey meals, if you don't want to cook. The resort smells wonderful TG morning b/c they cook them on-site.
 
We are heading to HH this Thanksgiving - we were last there for TG back in 2010 and it was one of our most memorable DVC trips. On Thanksgiving Day we woke up early and did the Piggly Wiggly Turkey Trot 5K... by the time we got back the aroma of the fried turkeys had filled the resort. At that time, they mailed an order form about a month or so ahead of time for those interested in ordered a meal through the resort. We played flag football on the beach that afternoon as well. You make your team t-shirts on Wednesday!! It was a beautiful day and it was loads of fun. That game was about as crowded as the beach got, too. Very pleasant to spend time out there just walking around.
