Nice Jimmy! I assume you are in Building 31? Did you make a request for the building? Any chance you could post more pics of the view? Boy am I demanding

Yes, we are in Bldg 31 right on the farthest corner of the property, so it affords us as best a view as possible of the waterways. We made a request of Upper floor as our 1st request, with a marsh view as our 2nd request. But to be honest, I dont know if any blogs here have a "bad view", in other words, no dumpsters Heck, even KAT4DISNEY could probably land a water view here

 

[jimmytammy]

Oh wait, was your first photo your view from your room, or the house you were staying in?

The 1st photo with the pine tree center of photo is from our room at HHI. I will add another couple photos of of our view

Went to Hunting island beach today near Beaufort
Found these shells/sandollars/sharks teeth washed up within a 20 minute span along the shoreline
The lighthouse there is no longer in use but still well maintained

Unless the law has changed recently it is against the law to collect live sand dollars in SC and 2 appear still alive. The ones still greenish and not bleached out. Maybe Sleepydog will correct me if it has changed.

 

[Corinne]

Not all dead sand dollars are bleached out. Just because they “appear” to be alive (in a photograph) does not mean they are, as they can remain brown even though they are no longer alive.

Yes. You can turn them over and look for the hair like tentacles on the bottom. Brush the hairs with your hand. If they move they are probably live and should be gently returned to the ocean. Live ones do get tossed up by waves, even though they tend to burrow.

Enjoy the ones you can gather! I think they are very special shells and you can do a lot with the ones you get. I only have 3 that I gathered from Hilton Head but I treasure those (and they were not alive when I found them).

No worries folks! I made sure they were passed away before I took them. I found 2 others still alive and placed them back in the water. Believe me when I say this, if I go fishing, I release all of them back, law or not. Im not a very good fisherman, nor hunter. I would never survive if I had to live off the land other than vegetation. Heck, the soft spot in my heart makes me feel bad when I harm or have to do in a bug in the house.

 

[Corinne]

I did not, for one minute think you would have collected a live sea dollar Jimmy!

 

[jimmytammy]

the resort is pretty immersive with lots of activities to do, including cornhole, putting green, bball court, giant checkers and bocce ball as Tammy and Casey demonstrate above.

The pool table is located in Murggies Den located in the main lobby area where a certain one of our groupie friends (named Luv) may be working. Murggies reminds me of combo part Iron Spike Room, part OKW lobby with music from Belle Vue Lounge T BWV mixed in

Yes, everyone needs a little boat on the big boat. I love how it's not just a little old skiff either, there's something hiding under that tarp... probably a navigational system, radio, fish finder and liquor bar.

That's not even one of the larger boats in Shelter Cover. Disney simply doesn't pay well enough to afford anything bigger than this one, sadly. Thankfully, they give each employee 10K shares of Disney stock each year as a bonus.
