Keepin' it on the downlow(country) at HHI - New TR link - pg 31

I really like this one.

Ohhhh and this one.

Some clouds obscured the last moments of sunset.

But it was still beautiful.

Ahhhh Add it to the list.

And then, done

Fabulous!!!! I love a good sunset.

 

[KatMark]

Beautiful pictures around the entire resort, Glenn. And the sunset pictures are stunning.

 

[glennbo123]

Wow! I was really behind again!

That's kind of encouraging actually Tammie. I was going so slowly, it's good to know that some people have to get caught up every once in a while!

What a nice beach day - I am thinking this kind of relaxing vacation could grow on you. I'm still wanting to try VB after your last beach report - now I have HH on the brain. As you can see, too much thinking makes me a little unbalanced.

Totally different vacation than the average WDW vacation where we go-go-go. So now you just have to go to both!

I just told Jim we should do VB next year before a 4 day DCL like we've been DREAMING of. We were thinking a little F&W but it seems we will get in some F&G with food booths this year, so we could change it up!

Seems like a lot of people hit Vero either before or after a cruise, looks like it works out well.

I'm enjoying your report. You were there the week after us!

Hi Chelley00 and Thanks for reading! I think the weather turned pretty nice the week before we got there, so you probably had a good stay, I presume?

Ohhhh and this one.


Ahhhh Add it to the list.

Fabulous!!!! I love a good sunset.

You see the difficulty I had in selecting just one or two?! I did cull out a couple, but just threw the rest in -- I couldn't decide!!

Beautiful pictures around the entire resort, Glenn. And the sunset pictures are stunning.

Thanks Kathy, glad you liked 'em!

Hi Chelley00 and Thanks for reading! I think the weather turned pretty nice the week before we got there, so you probably had a good stay, I presume?

Our very first day was stormy but after that one day stuck inside, it was beautiful.

 

[glennbo123]

Our very first day was stormy but after that one day stuck inside, it was beautiful.

The only reason I remember is that when we checked-in the cast member said that they had great weather the week before and was hoping that it would continue for us. Then we had a stormy day or two, but was mostly nice weather for the week.

 

[Steppesister]

WOW! Just WOW!

Seriously, you really did a fabulous job on those! I also liked the straight on pier one as well. Very nicely done!

I really enjoyed that photo mantage very much, Glenn. Thanks for some serentity this night before my final!

We'll be staying at the Boardwalk in June also.

Before I get caught up on your TR, I saw this on Kathy's TR. When are you there? I will be there (at Disney, not BW) for Ben's class trip, at the parks June 9-11. If you are there and see us, come by and say hello to me and the 130 teens accompanying me.

Or not!

This sign reminds me of my favorite limerick:

A funny bird, the pelican
His bill holds more than his belly can
He holds in his beak
Enough food for a week
I don't know how the hell-he-can

(And you thought the bird was going to be from Nantucket!)


Such gorgeous pictures around the resort! I especially like the ones of the marsh, the one with the hammock in the foreground and of course those amazing sunset pictures.

I was actually going to ask about bugs, with the marsh being so close, so thanks for anticipating my question. I did peek at your spoiler.

I am enjoying your trip report, especially those last pictures from around the resort. My family visited Disney's HHI Resort in July of 2013 and we loved it! We are not DVC members but were able to get a general public 2 bedroom reservation for 6 nights. Those pictures made me homesick! My 8 year old nephew still ranks our vacation there above our last trip to WDW! We are headed back to WDW for vacation this year but hope to go back to Hilton Head in 2016. We are lucky enough to live in SC, so it is just a few hours away. I went to Hilton Head this past summer but stayed elsewhere. One afternoon we went to Shelter Cove and parked and walked into the resort just to have our Disney moment! I just have a request, could you tone down the appealing pictures and praise for the resort as I think it is one of the best kept Disney secrets out there and we need to just keep that between us!

 

[Disneybuckeye]

I have been MIA for a while, but now I am back and caught back up. Loved all the photos. We are leaving Saturday to ski in Vail for a week for which I traded our HH timeshare week. Now I am missing HH.

Looking forward to hearing about Savannah.

A woman was there also taking pictures. She said something like, “isn’t this amazing?!”

Some clouds obscured the last moments of sunset.

I have been to HHI twice and no matter what the season the sunsets are just spectacular. There is something really special about a low country sunset. Gorgeous pictures!

c

The movie that night was “Frozen”, which I hope is obvious to you.

Thanks for clearing that up for me!

My last entry was, “Man, the cushions on this pull-out bed really migrate out when you try to sit on it as a couch for any length of time.” “Oh, and while I’m at it, the microwave buzzer is really loud, and particularly annoying.”


First world problems! It had been a great day!I hung out for a few minutes. It looked like a great setup; right beside the playground. A big inflatable screen, benches for seats, great sound, good and loud. And I didn’t detect any bugs.

OMG - those cushions are (or should I say were) the WORST. Didn't they do a remodel? Please tell me those couches are gone!

c
Up next: Road trip! (to Savannah)

YAYAYAYAYAYAY! Can't wait for Savannah!

 

[GoofyFan1515]

I could have sworn I already commented on your last photo-palooza update. It's been a while since I've been to HHIR, but your pictures sure do make me miss it! There is just such a different and wonderful vibe there that makes it so relaxing and a fun place to visit! It's really hard for pictures to do it justice, but you did a great job of capturing it! I always loved reading all the different signs on the buildings, so I'm glad you posted those. And your sunset pictures.......... When I was there, they had horseshoes, but I see they are really stepping up their game by adding corn-hole to their repertoire.......

 

[CreightonsMomma]

Beautiful pictures as per usual Glen!


But, hey, I think you forgot some of the mercantile.

I am thinking about taking a trip to Savannah in July so i'm looking forward to the next chapter.

 

[glennbo123]

You're so welcome. I have such a hard time picking just a few photos. Of the two you quoted, I can't decide which I like better..a few minutes apart, but so different.

Before I get caught up on your TR, I saw this on Kathy's TR. When are you there? I will be there (at Disney, not BW) for Ben's class trip, at the parks June 9-11. If you are there and see us, come by and say hello to me and the 130 teens accompanying me.

Or not!

We won't get there until the 23rd. But if you want to send the kids home and hang around until we show up, I'd be thrilled to meet you and hear all the stories about how hectic it was when the kids were there!

This sign reminds me of my favorite limerick:

A funny bird, the pelican
His bill holds more than his belly can
He holds in his beak
Enough food for a week
I don't know how the hell-he-can

(And you thought the bird was going to be from Nantucket!)

My dad (Poppy from earlier trip reports) used to say that one all the time, but he would stop after the first two lines...probably hell-he-can was too risque.

Why no, I'm not familiar with Nantucket. ...and if you believe that one...

Such gorgeous pictures around the resort! I especially like the ones of the marsh, the one with the hammock in the foreground and of course those amazing sunset pictures.

Thanks. I had a lot of fun taking them!

Just walking around the resort, they weren't bad, I didn't even notice them. But sitting, watching a movie, well...I shouldn't get ahead of myself.

Hi pollyanna30! Thanks for posting, and

My family visited Disney's HHI Resort in July of 2013 and we loved it! We are not DVC members but were able to get a general public 2 bedroom reservation for 6 nights. Those pictures made me homesick! My 8 year old nephew still ranks our vacation there above our last trip to WDW!

Wow, that's impressive that an 8 year-old would rank it above WDW! But as you can tell, I am convinced that it's a great vacation spot!

We are headed back to WDW for vacation this year but hope to go back to Hilton Head in 2016. We are lucky enough to live in SC, so it is just a few hours away.

We're doing WDW this year too, but will be hitting HHI for 3 nights to get my fix!

I went to Hilton Head this past summer but stayed elsewhere. One afternoon we went to Shelter Cove and parked and walked into the resort just to have our Disney moment!

I completely understand...I would've done the same thing!

I just have a request, could you tone down the appealing pictures and praise for the resort as I think it is one of the best kept Disney secrets out there and we need to just keep that between us!

You aren't kidding! Last year, I had no trouble reserving a 1-bedroom for a week at 7-months out. This year, I was only shooting for 3 nights, but could only get 2 and had to waitlist the 3rd (which eventually came through ). I can only attribute that change in demand to this TR, and I'm kicking myself right now.

 

[glennbo123]

I have been MIA for a while, but now I am back and caught back up. Loved all the photos. We are leaving Saturday to ski in Vail for a week for which I traded our HH timeshare week. Now I am missing HH.


Looking forward to hearing about Savannah.

I hope you had enough snow for skiing. I've seen where the snowpack is really poor this year.


Glad you're caught up.

I have been to HHI twice and no matter what the season the sunsets are just spectacular. There is something really special about a low country sunset. Gorgeous pictures!

We thought the sunsets were particularly nice when we lived in NC too. There's something about that part of the country.


Thanks!

Thanks for clearing that up for me!

I keep forgetting that I was like the second-to-last person to see "Frozen".

OMG - those cushions are (or should I say were) the WORST. Didn't they do a remodel? Please tell me those couches are gone!

Remodeled, yes. Cushion problems resolved, no. They should install seatbelts.

YAYAYAYAYAYAY! Can't wait for Savannah!

You might be up for another mention.

I could have sworn I already commented on your last photo-palooza update. It's been a while since I've been to HHIR, but your pictures sure do make me miss it! There is just such a different and wonderful vibe there that makes it so relaxing and a fun place to visit! It's really hard for pictures to do it justice, but you did a great job of capturing it! I always loved reading all the different signs on the buildings, so I'm glad you posted those.

There's no one or two photos that can capture the place -- it has to be a photo-palooza montage. Yeah, once I took one or two photos of the signs I decided that I was going to walk around and try to get a photo of every one that I could find. "Be the first on your block to collect them all!"

And your sunset pictures.......... When I was there, they had horseshoes, but I see they are really stepping up their game by adding corn-hole to their repertoire.......

Yes, they've up'd their game game.


Hmm, I'm trying to think where the horseshoes were. I'm sure they still have them, but I can't remember where.

Beautiful pictures as per usual Glen!

Thanks Jen.

But, hey, I think you forgot some of the mercantile.

I lol'd at that!

I am thinking about taking a trip to Savannah in July so i'm looking forward to the next chapter.

Well, I have the pictures in a Word file, but need to add more words to the Word file, if you know what I mean.
