HHI LOVERS THREAD

[sleepydog25]

Thanks sleepydog25 and Simba’s Mom. I was just curious. I know the unit will be a lock off, that’s how they are listed in the reservation area. Apparently the roll in type shower can be in the studio or in the one bedroom section.

As long as we have the elevator to access the room, we will be fine wherever the roll in type shower is.

Tomorrow is the day I can actually book the two bedroom for my friends and myself. Then all we have to do is wait 11 months to get there!

DH and I will be there in May. I don’t have to wait that long to enjoy that beautiful resort!

So, rooms 11, 12, 13, and 14 in both buildings 11 and 12 are HA. In room number lingo, that would be 1111, 1112, 1113, and 1114 in the main lodge, and 1211, 1212, 1213, and 1214 in the attached building that shares the elevator. All are on the first floor, with the ones in the main lodge being at the back of the building and you primarily access them through the lobby. The rooms in Bldg 12 are just down the outdoor corridor from the lobby.

Can anyone who has recently stayed at DHHIR let us know if the campfire activities and movies under the stars are currently happening? Also, how are the onsite bicycles that Disney rents? Do they rent kids bikes?

First time staying at HH next month. Will be in a 1 BR - should I make a room request? Grandsons are 4 1/2 and 18 months. Only staying 2 nights.

Since you are in a one bedroom odds are you will be at the main building. You could request a marsh view which is what we had on our trip this past January and it was awesome. Definitely bring a stroller for the little one as it's a little ways (not horrible at all) to the pool, store, and restaurant. Cast members are beyond amazing!

No on campfire and movies. Lots of people were renting bikes but we didn’t so I’m not sure about that.

We’ve rented from the resort and thought they were not as good quality as the ones we rented from off site- cross island bikes I believe, also came with free delivery & pick up. Super convenient and bikes were well kept.

We noticed there was a bike rental place on the way to the beach house. Not sure if that is the one you are talking about, but they seemed very popular too. Saw lots of people with their bikes. Of course I cannot remember the name. Sorry.

So we know there are only 5 GV. Wonder how likely we are to get at 7months out for mid march 2021. We know its a little slower time.
Also any resonable priced golf,,ie. Under 100 on the island?
Thanks

Our last morning, sun over the condos across the inlet.


I will be back next March with girlfriends, and DH and I will be here in April.

Maybe we should start a DHHIR owners thread, since I could not find one anywhere on here.
Can someone that has experience start one with the information listed like other resort owners thread?
(I am new owner)

Really, most of the bike rental places on HHI are good; otherwise, they'd go out of business as competition is stiff. The bike rental place in Palmetto Dunes (that's the area you go through on the way to the Beach House) is Hilton Head Outfitters. But, others get good reviews, too. I can't speak to the quality of the bikes vis-a-vis Disney's own, but the obvious plus with the on-site bikes is that if something happens to them, you can get immediate response. On the other hand, a negative is that you can't rent them until you show up.

Regardless of time, the GVs are a tough get since there are only five of them. Depending on the timing of "mid-March," you could be at the start of spring break for some areas. Still, it's worth the try! Many courses in mid-March will offer discounted rates, and if you're willing to go in the afternoon, most also offer lower rates. Though I don't play much currently, a quick search of courses should net you places where you can get in under $100. For example, the Shipyard Golf Club offers super twilight rates (2 p.m. or later) for $80. Others do the same.

Me, too! Hopefully, on your next trips you will find them!

The place definitely grows on you!

It's actually quite easy to start a new thread--same process as starting any new topic on the DIS. The information? Well, that does take a bit of research, but it doesn't have to be added all at once. The person who starts the thread controls what content it shows and can add to it at any time. Sounds like a good project for the right person!

Headed down over Thanksgiving. We usually go in early September and are looking forward to trying this new, cooler, time. Hopefully all four kids (two are adults and one lives on the west coast) will be able to join us.

I'm sure people have been there over Thanksgiving before, so any advice on where to get a holiday dinner would be much appreciated. Probably to bring in to the villa, if possible. We're a take out kind of family in the best of times. TIA

Kroger next to the resort, and I believe, Fresh Market (two minutes down the road) offer Thanksgiving meals fully prepared. I'm fairly certain there are other places, but those would be the two quickest options.

I've never been over Thanksgiving, but there is a Whole Foods in Shelter Cove where you can usually pre-order an entire Thanksgiving dinner.

Just to whet your appetites, here are a couple of recent pics...

Just to let everyone know on this thread, I have started a DHHIR owners group for people to join if you are interested in discussing with other owners!
(It is under DVC Resorts)
