Hello! This is HHISand’s daughter and I’ve always wanted to do a mini trip report so I thought I’d do one here.
We were recently at Hilton Head five nights and overall had a wonderful time! We weren’t able to check in online (they said a lot of people have been having this issue with their server), but we got our room pretty quickly, quicker than last year when we did check in online. Does anyone else who has done both recently know if there is any correlation?
We did the buffet one morning and it was pretty decent for the (Disney) price. Good bacon and eggs, decent potatoes and pastries, Mickey waffles got a little less crispy the longer they sat but still good. The cast members were highly advertising the Hispanic heritage buffet they’re doing Tuesday nights this month (and it’s great pork chops) but we decided not to do it. There’s also an Oktoberfest celebration/buffet on Saturday that we unfortunately were unable to attend. We were happy that the lemonade and cookies are back from 3 to 5 (not sure if I’ve seen anyone else post about that).
We did the naturalist scavenger hunt which fun, and you get some key chains and magnets at the end! Took us (three adults) a little over thirty minutes with one hint but it might take longer with small kids. We also did four trivia and won three of them (my first time winning, was a long time coming). For anyone like me wondering what you win, it’s either a bag of fidget toys or a dole whip coupon (and you don’t get to choose). A nice cast member gave us more dole whip coupons so we felt loaded! Apparently maybe at some times of the year “pool games” can mean more trivia so if you like trivia like me keep that in mind.
We went to WiseGuys for dinner which is one of our favorites, they have an early bird special but the 10% discount (for staying at Disney’s Hilton Head) apparently does not apply to it. We also went to Nectar Farm Kitchen which was good, has huge portions and very fast service. We also went to The Cotton Exchange Tavern in Savannah (pretty good) and Bubble Berry (great for bubble tea/smoothies).
So like I said overall a very nice time! Let us know if you have any questions
