HHI Adoration & Information 2009

[Conan the Librarian]

Summer finally arrives here in the Low Country. Enjoy the weather!

Have you been to Signe's?

 

[Simba's Mom]

Have you been to Signe's?

And if so, I always wondered what Signe's lines are like in the Summertime. It can get fairly crowded (a wait to eat) even off-season.

Speaking of long lines on HHI. When we came out of Truffles we noticed a huge crowd next door. Then we see it is the infamous Sea Shack. I told DH, "there is no food on the face of this earth that I would stand in that line in almost 100 degrees for."

We also went by the Sea Shack. When we drove up my DH started to laugh and ask me do you really want to eat there. It was a really big line. We went to Hudson's instead, It was great there. My husaband said he ate the best gumbo he had in his life there.

The resort is as beautiful as ever. We went swimming and kids rode bikes all around the resort this afternoon. A huge storm came in at 8pm to cancel the campfire, but the castmembers led Goofy Bingo . As always, the castmembers tonight were great.

Well, you can add me to the list of HHI lovers. I've been converted! And to think I spent the last few years going to VB when HH was right around the corner!

We ate at Hudsons too and LOVED IT!! The fried shrimp... omg it was so fresh tasting and the very light batter was a perfect match to bring out the freshness. Every bite was like WOW that's the best fried shrimp I have ever had lol

They sure are different resorts arent they?? Both on the beach but worlds apart.

I have uploaded some videos to You Tube, if you search Laurabearz they should come up

I have got to get going. I haven't even started mine yet..... and I've already been back longer than I care to admit. Hopefully I will have some time to get it started this week. I still have some photo organization to do, but for now I will leave you with this......

That picture is beautiful, I can't wait to enjoy one those sunsets in August.

Actually at HHI it is sunrise.... I basically rolled out of bed, brushed my teeth, grabbed my camera and headed to the beach house. The guard at the gate going to the beach just kind of laughed and nodded as my sleepy self drove through at 6:30 AM that morning and the sun was already up at that point and I was running late.

You can get some great pictures of the sun setting over the marsh at the resort though.

We just returned from the Star Spangled Tuesday. It was a beautiful day today - temps in the 90's but comfortable in the pool. The cast members were great as always at the pool games this afternoon and the pool party tonight and everyone was in good spirits. Tomorrow morning is the beach!

Hi everyone!! Can anyone recommend a restaurant that will take a reservation for a group of 11? Would love to not have to wait 2 hours for dinner!! Thanks!

Ellen

We were at HHi last week and ate at Dye's Gullah Fixins in the Pineland shopping center. You have to make a reservation as she does not take any "walk ins" It was the best meal we have ever had on HHI!!
Wonderful authentic southern cooking. If you call a few days ahead I'm sure she would accomodate a party of 11

 

[El&Asmom]

I'm getting ready to book our first HH trip for next summer. Do you guys think mid June or mid July would be a better time to go as far as crowds and weather, or are they about the same. Dd1s bday is July 11, so we were thinking about going that week. I just didn't know if July would be really crowded and significantly hotter than June, or if they're about the same.

Hope everyone is having fun at HH. I'm loving the pictures.

Hello everyone!
I am sure these questions have been addressed in this thread, but i can't find the answers as they are really opinions i am looking for. We are thinking of using our points for HH in March. I live in SC, so I know the weather can be kinda cold still...but does anyone want to tell me about their March trips?? Did you swim? We have 2 boys that will be 10 & 12...will the be happy with a weekend stay here? Can I do this resort in 3 days? We have never done a non-WDW vacation...we are very much a park family...so will we be happy w/HH? thanks for your time =) Also, do i need to jump on this ASAP?? Do the rooms go fast in March?
