Kim, the 'sampler' which we received states that reservations for programs with fees can't be made prior to Friday, April 9, not that they must be made by the 8th. When we went to Hilton Head last year, they did not have in room babysitting. There was a local nanny service that would come to your room, though. I'm sorry that I don't remember the name of the company or how much they charged. I'm sure that the front desk will be able to tell you about it when you check in. We won't be arriving until Easter Sunday, so we'll be missing some of the holiday activities that day. They sure sound like fun!
