We check in a week from today!
I meant to bring the activity guide from last week home so I could scan it, but now I can't find it! Maybe it got lost in the vacation black hole along with my iPad charger! Anyway, I'm sure your boys will have a great time. My 10yo son loved playing corn hole, biking (we rented bikes from an off-site place, very convenient!), playing with other boys in the pool, fishing off the pier, playing foosball and ping-pong, swinging in the hammocks, etc. There is a BBQ/Pirate party most Tuesday nights. You do not have to pay for the meal to participate in the games and activities. They have lots of silly games that kids seem to love and then a dance party on the pool deck. The CM's are great, they love to interact with the kids. My kids also like the campfire, held several nights a week. The CM's lead several silly songs then give out marshmallows to make s'mores. They have pool games in the afternoon several days a week. Several mornings they have "Naturalist" walks where you learn about the ecology of the Marsh and tidal areas, actually very interesting. The topography is very different from what they are used to in SoCal, I'm sure. My kids also consider a round of Adventure Golf a necessity. They have two pirate themed courses that are really cute. We do that one morning before it gets too hot and busy. I will keep looking for my guides and post them I can find them!Visiting HHI for the first time next week (June 10th-17th). Have two boys from San Diego who are used to swimming 2-3 times/week at the pool or beach, age 9 and 11. The kids didn't find any amazing videos about HHI on youtube...they're worried they'll spend all their time staring at the marsh.. In any case, I have planned deep sea fishing excursion, kayaking, crab hunting, island boat/nature tour, horseback riding, tubing, beach shell combing, and visits to the lighthouse and discovery museum...I'm also thinking about golf lessons. And, I'm sure there are lots of resort kids activities... Just wondering what else would be good memorable experiences specific to HHI at their ages? Also, it doesn't seem that HHI posts their weekly activity schedule anywhere online....at least that I can find. There are some older schedules other have scanned in but nothing recent/official?
What can we rent directly from the resort? Trying to decide where to rent kayaks and paddle boards.
You can rent bikes from the resort. Kayaks are available, but you must sign up for the kayak tour (or whatever they call it). They are not available to rent out.
Do I need to bring a bike lock for rented bikes or do they supply them?
We will be staying in a two bedroom at Disney HHI in October. We are very excited, this will be our first stay there.
Do all the buildings have exterior corridors or does the main lodge have interior corridors?
Will the ocean be warm in October?
Hmmm, this is surprising! Might be a good fall break trip for this teacher if airfare ever gets reasonable again out of OKC.The ocean is perfect in October..about 80 degrees when we were there last year.
They supply the lock and I believe a tire repair kit.

We plan on taking are bikes down with us. How early to you think I should book for the kayak and paddle boards? We are going down in August.
