*HHI Owners and Beach Lovers Group Thread*

I was told that they are painting the exterior of the resort. I'd guess the mention of the views is because there may be scaffolding in the areas where they are working.

Painting/pressure washing/etc makes sense

I found this cool dhhir promotional from 2004.
Looks like the resort sold out in 2003 roughly.

Thanks for the memories! Got to see 2 things I miss
1. The carving of Mickie and Minnie in the heart
2. B'leu Crabbe playing the banjo-I'll never understand how Disney could let such a talent go.

And I didn't know that the resort sold out in 2003-the year of our first visit.

My first ever HHI resort stay is coming up in December. Do you think it will be decorated for Christmas by 12/1-12/4? Thank you.

No guarantees as the schedule isn't set by the resort, rather by Disney as the decorations are stored in Orlando and driven to HHI to be installed by the engineers there. However, usually the resort is decorated by that time. However, the decorations aren't elaborate, mostly things like garland around the light poles along the walking path, a tree in the lobby, and other such subtle touches. Many boats in Shelter Cove Marina will be brightly lit and decorated, though, so even if the ones at the resort aren't up or seem underwhelming, you should still see plenty in the marina, as well as the palm trees over at Shelter Cove Town Centre which are strung with lovely lights that brighten that area up quite a bit.
