Great! We'll be there from the 16th-20th!!

I'm hoping for pretty weather! Weather.com is predicting sunny with a high of 59 on the 15th.

We will be there same time,hope the weather is better than same time last year(rain and in the low 30's) You can find me watching NFL playoffs in the lodge We plan to go to Savannah to pick up my son's Gf and walk around River Street awhile on Saturday

I just booked my first HH trip for August 8th!! I am really excited to get in because it is my 7 month mark as I own at AKV. My question is, is it alot busier at that time than it would be say the last week in August? Would it be worth trying to switch or should I just be happy I got anything?

 

[DisneyNutMary]

Penny, the last week of August is pretty quiet.
We went that week the last two years, and all of the cast members, the staff at all the restaurants and even B'Lou Crabbe remarked how we picked a "good week" as the weeks prior had been packed.

The resort is pretty big, and can handle the crowd nicely, and activities are full, so I would guess more enjoyable. My kids have gone on Kids Night Out where they were the only ones with 3 CMs to chaperone, they liked it alot better when they went with a big group on another KNO trip.

Your biggest problem will be wait times at restaurants. In the last week of August, we walked up at any time and were seated right away (except one rest in Coligny Plaza, but that's a whole other story). From what I understand, had we been there earlier in the summer, we would have waited near an hour or possibly longer for our group of 8 (or 11 the 2nd trip)

Whatever your choice, you'll love it, and probably get hooked like the rest of us HHI lovers

Did you get a member's cash rate? If so, would you mind posting or pm'ing?

We are also going to be at HHI for Thanksgiving and then on to WDW. The members' cash rate is $82.50 for a studio, $126.75 for a one bedroom and $145 for a two bedroom.

For anyone who has been over Thanksgiving, are there lots of activities available? Can you swim in the ocean or pool? Do they offer a dolphin cruise?

I am sure I will have more questions between now and then but at least those will help me get started planning.

 

[Pennykay]

Thanks so much, Mary. I will try to change to the last week when my seven month window opens.

Our kids like HH so much that we recently bought a resale.
We will be heading back for our 3rd trip and we will be bringing some friends to share the wealth with. Can't wait!
Looks like quite a group already for that week.

Just curious who all rents the umbrellas/chairs at the beach and who brings their own?

 

[MinnieGi]

We drive and bring our own umbrella and chairs.

I love that picture of HHI beach!!! Can't wait to see it again in June!

 

[LVSWL]

We haven't decided whether or not to rent this year or not. We split our time between the two pools and will probably rent just so we don't have to bother with toting them back and forth. We like to ride our bikes over to the beach house it would be a pain to take chairs, plus we have so much other junk to bring that we just don't have the room
