    *HHI Owners and Beach Lovers Group Thread*

    The dryer we had was a square door, not a round one, and it didn't have a window. It also opened to the side and it was on the left side of the closet. That is a VERY different dryer than what we had :scratchin .

    *HHI Owners and Beach Lovers Group Thread*

    It has been 2 years since we have been there so although we are not "frequent" guests, I will say that the issue was extremely noticable. We do laundry every day on our trips so we have always used the washer/dryer and this time, my husband even pointed out that he could not get the dryer door...

    *HHI Owners and Beach Lovers Group Thread*

    I wanted to mention something that I noticed in our 1BR that I *think* is going to be a problem:scratchin... I do not know if it is part of the refurb or not, but when we did laundry, the door to the dryer only opens about 3" before it is stopped by the wall of the closet! I shimmied the dryer...

    Do you tell your friends/family you own DVC or keep it private?

    That is typically the same response I get too. I go every year, typically with my BFF now that my DH no longer wants to go and my "kids" are 18 and 20. My BFF is a military wife/mother/veteran so she qualifies for military tickets so we have a fantastic symbiotic travel arrangement. I provide...

    *HHI Owners and Beach Lovers Group Thread*

    We checked in on Sunday afternoon and got a 1BR in bldg 19. I was worried about the reports of how noisy the rooms under the GV’s are, but so far, we have heard very minimal foot traffic from our upstairs neighbors. We had a great time on our offshore fishing trip yesterday and took home a...

    Updated Disney Gift Card Deals and More

    I earned $55 in Swagbucks on the purchase ($40 for the laptop and a $15 bonus) so that rebate basically covered the membership. Other than that, there was no special "deal" that reduced my OOP cost.

    It also depends on what you plan to buy throughout the year. My DD needed a new laptop and the one she chose was $100 cheaper with the membership. That made it a no-brainer decision for me to spend the $50 on the membership to save $100 off the laptop plus I get the membership benefits for the...

    Free Water Park for 2025 Stays

    The downside to this is the unpredictably predictable Florida weather. If the inevitable afternoon thunderstorm happens to be rolling through when people are arriving to check in, how many people are going to head over to the water parks to wait it out?

    Updated Disney Gift Card Deals and More

    UPDATE: The money was back on my Virtual MC yesterday so I added it to my PayPal account and made my DGC from DisneyStore (FKA "ShopDisney") as usual and it went through just fine. I used RMN for the 6% but as of now, it has not tracked. It usually takes a day or so before I get the...

    Card still says DVC “ND” after buying direct

    I still show ANNUAL in my MDE and I haven't had an AP since 2018! I have had CM's give me an AP discount when I show my "card" in my Apple Wallet even though I tell them I have no AP. I have no idea how to delete it, but at least my DVC Y is correct as I am a "grandfathered" blue card holder...

    Updated Disney Gift Card Deals and More

    I usually add my prepaid MC to PayPal and then pay on ShopDisney via PayPal, but for some stupid reason, I skipped a step and used the MC directly. I am sure that is why it did not work. After the 7 business days has elapsed (Feb 28), I will see if the money is back on the card and then I will...

    I wonder how fast they have been completing the buildings... This makes me very optimistic that we might get a refurbished 1BR AND stay in the main lodge by our arrival on March 31! Fingers crossed....

    Yup....mine didn't go through either. First time this has happened in YEARS. Now I am waiting for the pending charge to fall off my prepaid card (which is showing a balance of zero!) so that I can at least use it somewhere else.

    *HHI Owners and Beach Lovers Group Thread*

    Our trip is in a 1BR, arriving March 31! I would love it if the lodge were done, but if not, I am honestly just happy to be back at HHI :love:. We will be happy with whatever we get....If we are in the lodge (unrefurbished), we will have an elevator and a chance at a top floor with nobody...

    Does anyone have any updates on the buildings that have been completed? I am getting so excited for our trip in 45 days!

    Cabins at Fort Wilderness Points Charts Posted! For Sale and Booking Dates too!

    So basically, what is happening is that they have taken the rooms (cabins), refurbished them and now the entire property is "deluxe" and is being marketed as a DVC product. By doing so, the "value" of the rooms (cabins) has increased so the rack rate will go up to accomodate the "upgrade" in...

    I'm in the same boat (well, car:joker:). We are road-tripping to HHI for spring break and we have (4) rooms booked at Marriott properties along the way. Naturally, there is no offer on any of my Chase cards either:rolleyes2.

    *HHI Owners and Beach Lovers Group Thread*

    I have a question about the onsite bike rentals, specifically, the ones you rent from the rec desk... Is there a way to attach our own "pull-behind" wagon to the resort bikes? We have the adapter piece that simply screws into place, but you have to be able to remove the rear wheel to attach...

    Towncar that picks you up inside baggage claim?

    Cast and Crew Transportation was fantastic! They picked us up right inside the airport…didn’t even go “outside”. They are a little pricier ($120 each way) but completely worth it.

    Just to clarify, we have no plans to travel with our dog at this point, for this very reason. I would never want to disturb other guests so until he learns to be a little quieter (he’s only 7 month old), he needs to stay home. I just wondered if there is a way for management to contact...
