Questions about HHI

[mousetravel]

I am trying to decide on going to Disney's HH soon. I have a few questions I'm hoping some of you can help me with.

1. Is there a price list of the activities? (interested in Dolphin excursion)
2. What's in their gift shop? Disney themed stuff?
3. I'd like to go on Halloween weekend, but am not into the "Halloween" stuff.
Is it overly decorated everywhere with the Halloween theme?
4. I know there's probably a lot for kids to do, but what about for teens?
5. I'd like to go on a budget, any budget friendly ideas?

1. Check out this thread for prices on the dolphin excursions:

I believe the private tours are $40/person. Group tours are about $20/person.

2. The gift shop is small but has a nice selection of Disney products (including some snacks), DVC items, and general sundries. - There is also shopping a short walk across the bridge in Shelter Cove.

3. Not sure about halloween.

4. Plenty of stuff for teens. We had 12 yo boy, 13 yo girl, and 15 yo girl. They have a couple of teen activities for them and then some of the general activities will probably appeal also (kayak, shark tooth necklace, tie-dye, marsh tours) and of course the beach. We rented bikes for our kids and hardly saw them all week (usually just at meal time).

5. We left the resort at check out with a $350 bill. We also spent less than $350 for food inlcuding groceries and eating out. We ate at signes bakery, the Sea Shack (a must), guiseppes, and the salty dog. This was for 3 kids and 3 adults. (Grandma came with us on this trip).

Can you catch a ferry boat at the Marnina to ferry over to Savannah?

I have a couple more questions:

1. Do you have to charge your purchases on your room key, or can you pay cash?

2. Does any of the on site restaurants or store accept the Disney Rewards card?

1. You can pay cash whenever you wish.

2. I'm not sure about the Disney Rewards, but you should know that there is only one snack bar/grille on-site. This resort is restricted (by the local zoning) from having any sit-down restaurants on-site and nothing after hours (after 5 pm I think). However, there is a huge number, and a diverse number of restaurants within walking distance just off the property (a one minute walk). If you are staying in a studio you will want to plan accordingly.
