I didn't realize you could mobile order before the park opened. Thanks for that info!

I have park reservations for 2 of the announced Good to Go days. The reservations are still listed in My Plans, but on the web page, there is a note with a green check mark that says "Your entire planning party no longer needs a reservation to enter this park on the reservation date." I don't...

Sunday to Sunday, first time with a split stay and doing it twice! Starting at Coronado Springs, then Saratoga, then finishing at Yacht Club. Hoping for good weather for plenty of Stormalong Bay time! Would love to try Sangria University but think it will be spur of the moment assuming there...

I love a Bougie Pampered Queen Solo trip to Disney! It is honestly the best Disney trip, IMO. But it does make enjoying all the festival booths a lot harder. It's too bad they don't have some kind of service that can match you up with other people for the day so you can share stuff and be able...

Especially if you are ordering one of the more expensive entrees like the Crab Cake Benedict or the Shrimp & Grits, it is totally worth it! We went in October 2023 and really enjoyed the buffet and our entrees, although there was too much arugula on my Benedict for my taste. Easy enough to eat...

Any guesses if there will be a pre-order process/virtual queue for the Figment popcorn bucket, or does everyone except me already have one?

I ate there for the first time in October 2023, and really enjoyed it, but agree that the service was not speedy, although we also took a while to decide on our order, which doesn't help. But I think we ended up being between 2 1/2 & 3 hours, with a break to go out on the balcony and watch...

Thank you for your honest trip report. Egypt is on my bucket list, and NatGeo is one company I had been considering. I appreciate the unvarnished feedback, both positive and constructive. That price point is rough to swallow- I did 3 weeks in Africa on safari for about the same money, although...

I will be staying at Yacht Club 1/19-1/21/24 as part of a split stay. Excited to be back here for the 2nd time.

Thank you for reading along!! Aulani is amazing- I would highly recommend. I wasn't sure I was interested in Vero Beach, but the more I read about it, the more interesting it becomes. Maybe one day? I still have to hit all the global Disney Parks, but after that can turn my focus to staying at...

Yes, that is a good point- Aulani has a ton more rooms than HHI. With social distancing requirements, the line for an elevator was very long at peak times. And understand why things are built up on "stilts" but more accessibility would have been nice. Thanks for reading along!

Wrap-up/Overall Thoughts It was fun to try another DVC resort. I enjoyed Hilton Head as a destination, but it paled in comparison to Aulani/Hawaii. I'll try to keep from comparing the two in my overall summary. Things I enjoyed @ HHI: Food Scene on the island Different vibe of Beach House &...

Friday March 26 It was time to say goodbye to Hilton Head. I packed up the car and checked out, after being reassured that I would still be allowed to access the Beach House for the full day of my checkout. I always like to get a breakfast on a travel day, as often I'm eating at times I...

I've rented points twice since COVID started- once for Aulani in December 2020 and once for Hilton Head in March 2021. I rented with the knowledge that I wouldn't be able to get a refund for the points rental if something happened, and had to be ok with that decision. Both trips ended up going...

Thursday March 25 I decided to ride over to Hilton Head Social Bakery for pastry for breakfast. When I opened my door, I was super surprised to see a present hanging on my doorknob- I had won a prize for trivia from the previous day. The trivia question had been: What Disney Legend is...

It was very fun, but very awkward to try to park in the bike racks. It didn't turn tightly and wasn't as light as a 2 wheel bike, so if you couldn't just "drive" into the open space in the rack, it was a bit of a pain. But I was glad I did it- I gained more confidence to maybe start riding a...

I was there 3 weeks ago and it was still the Sand Bar serving burgers & other meals beyond snacks only F-Su for limited hours.

Wednesday March 24 Today I started with one of my favorite breakfasts of the trip at Palmetto Bay Sunrise Cafe. It was still pretty early and a bit grey & foggy, but I did sit out on the patio which had heaters running. I got the special of the day, a blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast...

This was so much fun to read! Thanks for the great observations and congrats on the extra extra pixie dust with the room upgrades!

Tuesday March 23 Today the plan was to drive to Savannah and walk around for several hours. I had created a restaurant list before leaving home, and did a quick google map to figure out which breakfast place was "on the way" to Savannah which is how I settled on Plantation Cafe & Deli. This...
