What a sad time!!!!! The 7 nights just flew by!!!! We had packed the night before so we were ready to load up and hit the road. We packed up the car and drove over to main building to use our last CS credits for breakfast. We both ordered huge breakfast platters and Jon fueled up on coffee...it was time to leave!
We were suppose to talk with an DVC CM and to get the info on the DVC, but he was busy and plus we had to get on the road to meet my parents in HHI. Jon and I both were looking forward to just "chillin" at Disney's HHI Resort.....it was a good half way stop for us....we were booked for 2 nights and it was good to spend some time with my parents b/c I had not seen them in months....I missed seeing them at Christmas...
So, 300 miles later, we arrived at Disney's HHI Resort.
Jon and I talked about our whole week together at WDW during the trip up to HHI....Jon arranged his pin collection....I can't tell anyone how many pins we ended up with.....
Check in was very smooth at HHI. The CM that checked us in was wonderful and she had a pin trading lanyard on so Jon started on her after she got us our keys to the room....the resort was DEAD! The CM said that they were not close to being half full.....she shared with Jon her Pin Trading book.....we did eventually unpack later that afternoon.
I took some pics of the rooms there. We got a 2 BR Villa...very nice. The theme decor is 1940's Fishing and Hunting Resort. It a very nice property!
The gate at the resort...cute......
I was worn out from the driving....so I chilled for a little in the living room.
The kitchen...
The only towel animal we had seen all week...
The Master BR....lovely.... and it had the jetted tub just like all the other 1 BRs at WDW....
I put Ricky and Lucy (aka, my parents in the other BR....they had their own bathroom as well...
We were in building 21. The 2nd floor....I think there is like 4 units in each building....love the trees there.....so pretty!
I was still in kid mode, so I climbed a tree...I didn't want to put this pic up...my freinds made their comments when I posted this pick on my facebook.
I thought this was neat....Jon noticed and it reminded me how far we were from the happy place.
The beach was really nice. It is away from the resort...about a mile. You can walk there or ride a bike, or you can drive there. It's one resort, but seperated. The beach house was pretty cool and they had pool there too. Again, the place was dead and all the CM that worked there were looking for things to do....they said they are only busy during the beach season but had a few WDW guests each week making pit-stops there in HHI....Its a nice 1/2 way point for those who are driving.
They had a CS resturant there...but it was closed for rehab. We basically ate at major chain establishments....Outback, Chick Filet, there is a Piggly Wiggly there if you want to go grocery shopping. We spent the day in Savannah. It was about a 40 minute drive from the resort to Savannah. I bascially spent time catching up with my parents and touring Savannah. Cool city!
One more post and I will be done!!!!! yay!!!! I got my photopass CD today!!! So I will post a few more pics and rap this TR up!
