HHI Adoration & Information 2009

[Laurabearz]

Just curious who all rents the umbrellas/chairs at the beach and who brings their own?

We drive and bring our own. My husband hates the trek from the car to the beach but once there he is happy that we lugged everything. I tell him 10 minutes on either end of a 5 hour day isnt anything to complain about.

It takes a lot of effort to relax

We are currently at Disney's HHI Resort. We purchased a resale and close later this month. We rented points for this stay as part of our contract. We are very happy with this resort. Today my daughter went to an unbirthday party and tonight we are doing the campfire. We are in building 27. We cannot wait to plan our next HHI trip!

Glad to see a HHI lover's thread.... I'll be helping out soon.

So jealous of everyone that is going soon or is there now. We were in the 70's in Texas today, but we will drop to the 50's tomorrow.

I have a favor to ask. If anyone could get me information on the rental prices I will update the first page (ie beach chairs, umbrellas, bikes, etc)
I know this will take some work, but I would greatly appreciate it.

Also, an activities sheet would be great. I know they change, but this would give us newbies an idea.

Thanks

Lorrie

Too cute! Thank you for sharing the pics. Aghhhh! I think I am at less than 150 days. I need to read the tech board and add a ticker to my signature.

3" of snow on the ground, birthday today for me (#45), fighting a cold - all good reasons to start to think about our July 11th -- 18th trip return trip (our 13th annual) to our home resort of HHI. Created a site of pictures after our trip last year -- check it out if you care to.

OMG-thanks so much for posting that picture of the bike path. DH and I get such a laugh out of that place! What happened was that one time, I went on the resort tour and heard about how some islanders didn't really want the Disney "tourists" showing up with all their "tackiness". Well, right after that tour, DH and I rode (or tried to ride in my case) bikes and went on that bike path. At the end in that picture, you see where the path turns? Well, I chose that place to run head-long into a local person-crashing both of us. I was so embarrassed and of course, I was wearing my DVC jacket. Since then DH keeps kidding me about being one of those "tacky tourists" at HHI, sort of like the ""D**** summer renters", if anyone saw "Summer Rental" w/John Candy.
For some reason, we don't rent bikes anymore.

Sorry about the snow and the cold.

Just wanted to say

I have a picture request for my fellow HHI lovers. Do you know that area where the bird feeders are and the path goes on both sides of it? It's right behind building #18. Last time we stayed in that building and I keep remembering how I loved that area. If anyone has a picture of that bird feeder area they could post, I'd love to see it. Thanks.

We will be in a 2 BR March 15-21, 2009!

Took our first trip to HHI a couple of years ago when we decided last minute to go someplace for Spring Break...there was availability, so we thought we'd give it a try & fell in love! We went again last summer...busy, but fun again, & for this year, the only time we seemed to be able to squeak in vacation was mid-March. The kids opted for HHI over WDW even though we know the weather may not be too warm...they love just being there! We are definitely looking forward to the family time, eating at the Sea Shack & Signes!

I wish we had seen this before we left today and I would have gotten the picture for you. We left just after lunch.

dallastxcpa...I also wish I had seen your request for the prices for rentals. If we brought home an activity sheet, I'll scan that in for you.

Last year there was internet access at the lodge,is it availible in the rooms now?

Yes, there's free wi-fi in the villas now. I'm not sure of exactly how it works, but when you log on they ask you for the password that you got when you checked in. Well, when I called the front desk for the password in November, they told me that it was in the testing phase and we'd need a new password when the new week began (our stay spanned 2 weeks). But for the entire 2 weeks I used the password that she gave me on the phone and the wifi always worked fine. So I'm sure that as long as you get a password from the front desk, you'll be fine. But I'm not sure if you'll need a new password if your stay is longer than a week.
