HHI Adoration & Information 2009

Is the barbque worth the money? We have 4 kids and that would be about $150 for hamburgers and hot dogs...........is it worth that? Could we still play the games if we don't do the barbque?

You can do the games and enjoy the event without buying the food. It is way overpriced. If you want the burgers do Fudruckers for a fraction of the price and superior burgers.

I thought we'd just grill our own.

I keep going back and forth about the bbq. The price does seem high for hamburgers and hot dogs. I keep thinking that we could grill our own for much cheaper and then I think well we are on vacation.

We skipped it last year, not for the money really, but because it really wasn't that good in years past. Almost burnt burgers, desserts were nothing special..

We went out to dinner and came back in time for all the festivities. Probably didn't save much money, but had a better meal.
Still had a ball at the pool party!

I was thinking we would take our bikes but now I'm thinking we will just rent them if they are only $25 for the week.

Is it better to get them from the resort or should we get them from somewhere else?

We have always gotten them from the resort with no complaints. Also, if you have any concerns about your bike during the week, they are right there to help you with it.

do they supply helmets with the bikes or is that extra?

They supply helmuts and locks, but you need to get there early to get a basket. Funny how important a basket becomes. If you don't get a basket with the rental just keep going back a couple times a day to see if some have been returned with bikes.

 

[minnieluvzmickey]

what type of basket do you mean???

what are the bikes like? Are my teenage boys going to be upset that the bikes are not cool enough? haha

The basket snaps onto the handle bars. It is not big, but it really helps if you need to carry anything from sunscreens to something you might buy in a shop.

Ummm... these are your typical basic bikes and not really cool, but pretty much the same as what you see everywhere else. I would set expectations low to start with. Good luck

I don't think the bikes will bother them. Everyone on the island rides the same kind of bikes, unless you bring your own. They don't have gears, and the handle bars are up, and not curled under, if that makes sense. They have pedal brakes. No hills to speak of on HHI, so that really is all you need. All the bikes look alike, except for the BAR across the middle for the boys and the size.

The Salty Dog web cam is fun! People make signs to hang up and such. They used to have a Best Of Section not sure if they still do.

I just booked a 2 bedroom Nov 1-5. We are pretty excited. Will it be pretty cold that time of the year?
