It truly is a lovely resort with everyone there doing his/her best to make your vacation one you'll remember for years to come. The vibe there--we call it the "low country vibe"--is one of relaxation, kicking back, doing family/couple time, eating great food, and submersing yourself into the ocean and marsh views. No stressing on ADRs, no long lines (except some restaurants-lol), no FPs, no park reservations, and getting around is easy if a bit traffic-y at times.
And, yes, I do. I work all over the resort--Broad Creek/Mercantile/Tide Me Over area, the Beach House, and hauling linens and refuse all from all over the main resort. Funny story, just two days ago a woman walked up to me at the Beach House and said, "I have a funny question to ask you. Are you on the DISboards?" Yes, I replied. "Would you happen to be sleepdog25?" LOL We went on to talk for about 15 minutes about a variety of topics. It was a great moment since one of my favorite things is to engage with guests, to make their vacations more enjoyable. So, if you see a tall, ruggedly handsome guy running around in blue shorts and a rust-colored shirt, feel free to say "hi!"
You may very well have! In March, I was predominantly working at the Lodge or, by then, had been cross-trained to help the housekeeping staff. Next time you're there, who knows where I'll be, but I love meeting DISboarders!
Part-timers work anywhere from 1-4 days. Generally, they will ask you for three days you would be available to work, such as, say, Sun-Tues. They can only schedule you to work those days; however, they can ask you to work extra shifts--the decision to do so is entirely yours. Now, just because you have three days where they can schedule you doesn't mean they will--of that Sun-Tue block, you might only be scheduled for Sun and Tues one week, Mon and Tue the next, then all three the following week. Given my position, I usually work all three days of my availability, and on average, I'll get asked to work extra shifts maybe once a month, sometimes twice. As for Disney perks, you definitely get them from CM discount on merchandise, to tickets, and every so often, some nice benefit such as a night's stay at select resorts. Hope this helps!
Possibly was moi, but more likely another chap.
I happen to be working BCM today, so I'll try to remember to ask. My initial reaction is no they don't, but I'll find out.
As I suspected, they do not sell the Shadow magnet at the Mercantile or anywhere else of which I'm aware for that matter.
Well thanks so much for double checking that anyways! Hope to say hi to you next month
I can answer the streaming question. Yes , we streamed the US-Mexico soccer match in June and they won again last night!!!
Thank you!!!
There are many fine restaurants and most with outdoor seating. Our favorite is Fishcamp on Broad Creek. Superb food, good service, plenty of outdoor seating, and a lovely ambiance (it sits at a dock and marina)--and they take reservations. Hudson's and Skull Creek Boathouse are both good (like Boathouse better), but neither take reservations so go early whether it's for lunch or dinner...as in really early. Skull Creek Dockside isn't as good as either of the three I've mentioned, but they're solid, and they take reservations. Closer to the resort, you have Scott's just across the marina in Shelter Cove, maybe a 5-minute walk. Outdoor dining, solid food, no reservations. Then, about another 5-7 minutes farther down the marina at Shelter Cove, there is Ela's on the Water. I believe they take reservations and their menu and dishes are very good--but a bit pricier than the others. Finally, I'm a big believer in finding menus you like online, then determining where you wish to eat. You can always call to see if a particular restaurant has outdoor dining options.
Thank you, perhaps we will see you there!!!
Thank you, and great idea on the BBQ takeout, probably works much better for that than seafood!
Yes--the lifeguards are part of Hilton Head Island Shore Beach Services.
You are welcome. As far as seafood though, we also did takeout. The Sea Shack is a favorite with the locals. They do takeout only right now. Just a word of caution: go early!
