my family has been going to Disney's HHI since 1999. We absolutely love that you can get Disney-level top notch vacationing without having Mickey and Cinderella everywhere you look. Verrrrrry much in tune with HHI's low country, relaxed atmosphere. An absolute gem
💯Exactly why I love it too, and I didn't experience my first stay till 2019! Now, it's a must-do every year or two. -Andrew
Great Video, as a resident of HHI, you'd be surprised how little we know about what's contained in the Disney Resort, PS nice legs on the water slide!
Thank you! It’s a hard resort for even Disney fans to get into, so I felt like I had to make this little video. Glad you enjoyed it 😀. -Andrew
The best part of the resort is that it has the Disney resort smell ☺️
100%! The smells are part of the Disney vibe that makes this resort, and every resort, special. But it’s even more special because it’s far away from any theme park.
Thanks for watching this vid. It’ll be time for an updated vid soon! -A
This was so helpful and interesting! I learned much about Disney's Hilton Head Resort from this video, and I'm sure it's going to help me on my vacation with my family in a month! Thank you again! 😁
Awesome! I wanted to make the HHI video I was looking for before my first trip. I recorded the video for this on my third trip down there, so this was years in the making 😁. I really appreciate your comment! - Andrew
Very nicely shot video and covered the resort well. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much! I worked hard on it and tried to highlight what makes the resort so special 😁. I’m planning on an updated tour after the next renovation. -Andrew
Thank you so much for uploading this! I remember staying at this resort back in 2011 and I loved every second of it. I still have a baseball cap from their gift shop that has Shadow on the front. Such a gorgeous place!
Oh wow, that must be an awesome hat! Thank you so much. I worked hard on this at the time, and I’ll do an update someday 😁 -Andrew
Great vlog! I have always been intrigued by this resort. Love the vibe!-Ali 😍🍷
Thank you! This means a lot to me because I tried to make the video I wanted before my first visit. I've visited three times now, and I'm still intrigued by the resort. - Andrew
The similarities between Shadow at Hilton Head and Shadow from Homeward Bound. Both Golden Retrievers with the same name.
Good catch! AFAIK, that didn’t factor into naming her, but maybe it did factor into adopting her as the resort dog. I’m going to miss her when I return again since she’s been replaced by Pluto 😭 -A
As a person who lives in South Carolina, I had no idea there was a Disney resort here lol
I’ve lived in NC for 14 years and I didn’t know about it either till maybe 5 years ago 😂 -Andrew
Love this!!! Does anyone know if you can bring your own bikes and lock them up or do you have to rent disney's bikes. Thanks for filming this!
Thanks for watching! You can totally bring your own bikes and use the racks. I'd make sure to spray your bikes with some rust inhibitor because of the salt air. - Andrew
@@ParkRovers Thank you so much!!!!!! Good idea (the rust inhibitor)--- I appreciate it...thanks again!
2:08 I can't believe I just noticed Captain Mickey 🤣. Now I'm curious about the significance of the name "Mary May."
When the resort was being built, Ken May was the VP of DVC, and his wife's name was Mary! The May River flows nearby, so it was a natural fit for the Imaginears to use the name! (I was on the opening team at the resort, and I worked there for 25 years before I retired a little while ago!)
@@gordonmorrison1069 wow! That's incredible. Next time I'm going to make sure to take photos of every single sign so you can tell us all of the Easter Eggs! 😁
Do you have to be a member to book at disney resort ?
Nope! However, you’ll notice extremely limited availability or no availability if you’re booking Hilton Head directly through Disney at hiltonhead.disney.go.com/. Also, the prices will likely be very expensive through Disney.
My recommendation is to do what’s called renting Disney Vacation Club (DVC) points, which essentially means that a member will book a room for you and you’ll pay them for it at an agreed-upon price. I’ve personally used both DVCreservations.com and dvcRentals.com (David’s). I didn’t have any issues with either, but there seem to be mixed reviews for David’s.
By the way, Disney does have many non-DVC resorts that are like regular hotels, but those are all by the theme parks so you'd book them through disneyland.com or waltdisneyworld.com. DVC rooms are built for extended stays and have a kitchenette or full kitchen depending on the room size.
I hope I explained that in a way that made sense! -Andrew
Added bonus for those Disney fans who enjoy Dole Whips at the Parks..... You can also get one here!
Yes! Including the boozy dole whip!
I am on my way to Hilton head right now!!
Have fun! I'm jealous!
Do they have beach chairs for rental at the beach house? Or do I need to bring my own?
Good question - I had to look this up on an HHI Facebook group.
Disney does not rent beach chairs, but Shore Beach Service does, and there's more info on their site. It looks a little pricey, so you may want to bring your own if possible.

@@ParkRovers thanks for looking this up. I'm going to try to plan a trip for summer 2022.
@@dingusdeef No problem! I wanted to know the answer too 😁. Thanks so much for watching. Feel free to ask any more questions since I've been a few times now! The resort is pretty small, so availability fills fast, but I'm sure you'll love it.
