Serves 'em right!

And I can't even begin to imagine what Bo is going to think when he finds out Chelsea ditched him for a beach lifeguard.

 

[wsushocker]

I think you are going to start a new trend here Jackie!
I'm longing for a Hilton Head vacation.
I may beg Shocker for some Hilton Head points before the year is up!

Happy Easter Jackie!

We were only there for the one night, but I know it has the making of a very fun summer spot!!! There was definitely enough Disney infused throughout! Oh! And Jackie, they sell their Counter service fare in "Disney" paper products, so again, it will feel Disney-ish, I am sure of that!!! I wonder if the French fries taste the same??!!

Happy Easter! I hope you have a wonderful day!

 

[jenjolt]

Sounds like much fun will be had at Hilton Head!!! Those pictures are really really pretty!!!

Happy Easter you all! Have a wonderful day!!​

What's a trip without a list or multiple lists!

laughing:

And you better do a TR! That's mandatory and non-negotiable.

I definately don't think you will be bored for a minute. I have read Podsnel's HH TR's and she is always doing something. No boredom there - that's for sure!

And I have already bought two things for the trip! One of my plans for spring break is to tackle the trip drawer and see what I still need.

I will do a TR -- no fear there! I need to go find Podsnel's Hilton Head reports and read them!

Mickey bars and the smell of the ocean - a wonderful start!

What are some of the activities you guys can do while you are there? Are there things like mini-golf and go-karts for the kids? Museums? A zoo? I know nothing of the area, so it will be fun to follow along on your planning.

It will be great to see a Disney resort that is not in Disney World, since I haven't seen those in trip reports yet.

Mickey bars and the smell of the ocean sound heavenly!

There are some things for kids there like a little water park and mini-golf, but I am not sure what all we will do -- I guess I should give that some thought.

Huge changes! Sounds like a good one though.

I will anxiously follow along to see where you do end up.

Thanks! Right now, Hilton Head seems like it will be the winner for the Summer 2010 trip!

I think the beach is a great alternative Jackie! Really, reading your plans is making me wish for waves and sand myself. We had decided not to take a family vacation this year, but I wonder if Don could be persuaded????

A beach vacation is always so much fun! I am glad we are heading back there this year -- I hadn't realized how much I missed it until we started planning this trip! I definitely think you should try and convince Don to go to the beach!

You are right MEK....Podsnel was always up to something! I remember reading the report and between dinners and the beach there was always something to do.
Okay....I just went and looked on the DVC member website and took a tour of your room! Looks really nice....very pretty decor I just love the beach and come to think of it the last time was in 2007 on the Wonder...before that it was OBX and a few years at that. Wayyyyyyy too long!
Another plus is that YOU won't have to drive as long
Can't wait to hear more details.....

Hi, Tracy! I think I will have to go find Podsnel's trip reports. I want to see what all they did while they were in Hilton Head.

I love the theming of the HHI resort -- as Happydog said, it has a very summer camp-like feel to it!

Only driving for five and a half hours is going to be great!

The resale contracts for HHI are at awesome prices -- I think most of the ones I have seen have been around $50 a point.

Hi CP

glad you have made a decision on what to do w/ the trip...I think I missed something though

did you confess to the kids about the "secret" to get the ocean votes?

anyways I love ocean vacays too...

And Disney to boot, what fun. I have never been to HH or the DVC there...but fellow diser irishdancer is just finishing up a week there you should pm her!

sorry it's not the World but glad you are still able to have this fun b-day trip and still get a little Disney fix.

J~

Hi, Julie! We didn't confess to the kids but did ask them which they would rather do. We haven't told them that we have booked anything yet which makes it kind of dicey -- yesterday they were telling my SIL all about the Hilton Head resort (her family goes to Hilton Head every summer), and she was very interested. Since we were in the car, I couldn't tell her that we already had dates and a room booked.

I have been reading irishdancer's TR -- they seem to be having a blast there.

 

[Charleston Princess]

Yep, he is right up Chelsea's alley! LOL!

You're showing remarkable self-restraint, Shocker!

Happy Easter Jackie!

Happy Easter, Jen!

We were only there for the one night, but I know it has the making of a very fun summer spot!!! There was definitely enough Disney infused throughout! Oh! And Jackie, they sell their Counter service fare in "Disney" paper products, so again, it will feel Disney-ish, I am sure of that!!! I wonder if the French fries taste the same??!!

Oh, I am all about Disney paper products! That will make me feel better, and I am not even joking about that!

Over on the Hilton Head information thread, somebody was saying how all their counter service far was quite good. I was also looking at the menus over on All Ears, and I have my eye on the grilled cheese and tomato sandwich -- that just screams summer fare to me!

Happy Easter! I hope you have a wonderful day!

Happy Easter, Rinky!

Sounds like much fun will be had at Hilton Head!!! Those pictures are really really pretty!!!

Hoping for lots and lots of fun at Hilton Head!

Happy Easter you all! Have a wonderful day!!​

Happy Easter, Anita! Is the entire family heading to your house today?

 

[MeMom]

Hope the Easter Bunny was good to you guys.
Have a great day with family!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Happy Easter, everyone! Hope everyone has a great day today! Our spring break has started finally! Yesterday we went to Zoo Atlanta. Every year they hide Jello eggs for the gorillas to hunt, so we headed there to see that! It was hilarious! Those gorillas sure don't mess around when it comes to finding their Easter treats! I took over 70 pictures at the zoo, so when they are loaded, I will share them with you (maybe not all 70 though ). Afterwards, we headed to my MIL's for dinner and egg dying. I absolutely collapsed into bed last night from all the fun!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Hope the Easter Bunny was good to you guys.
Have a great day with family!

Happy Easter, MeMom! The Easter Bunny was good to the kids, and we are now eating cinnamon rolls and assorted chocolate. Later we will head to my parents' for dinner (and more chocolate knowing my mom).

Can't wait to see photos of all the fun I am sure you have had with your family this weekend!

 

[jenjolt]

Happy Easter Jackie!! SO glad your Spring Break has finally arrived, I wish I had another week but then I keep telling myself only 2 more months and I'm done with school! Gorilla egg hunts sound awesome, can't wait to see the pics!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Ahhhh, to have Spring Break stretching ahead..... bliss!
Jello Easter Eggs and Gorillas sounds like so much fun!

Busy day planned here, going to take the big dog to deliver an Easter Basket to my mom first thing though...

 

[punkin413]

just saw your post about the changes. as disappointed as i know you are about not going to disney this summer, i'm sure you will still have a great time. i love disney SO MUCH, but i do have to remind myself that there are other places to go on vacation. you will be back one day. and it's so nice that you will still have subtle disney touches while you're there.

i wish i would have known about the gorilla egg-hunting yesterday! that sounds like a hoot. we have a friend from out of town here and we drove up to helen yesterday since it was so pretty out. but i think i would've much rather seen gorillas hunting for jello eggs!

 

[Happydog]

Hope you have a Happy Easter CP and Family!!

 

[lauren_elizabeth]

Happy Easter!

 

[SoonerGirl]

Happy Easter Jackie!

 

[disneyfan61]

Hope you had a great Easter Jackie. Anxious to see your pics of the Gorillas. Sound like fun!!

Have a GREAT SPRING BREAK.
