Hi Paula,
Welcome back to
planDisney! Thanks for asking a question about
Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort - you'll be visiting at the most magical time of the year!
I chatted with a Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort Cast Member today and I'm happy to report that all services will operate over the holidays (specifically the week after Christmas). The Big Dipper and Little Dipper
swimming pools are heated and ready for Guests to enjoy a refreshing splash. Over at the Beach House, the inviting "H"-shaped heated pool offers the perfect spot for those eager to take a swim and unwind.
If you find yourself hungry, you can head to
Signals (found at the Beach House) or if you prefer, you can visit Tide Me Over between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM for a bite to eat.
Tide Me Over is located next to Broad Creek Mercantile, the place to go to rent a DVD, pick up some groceries (they carry a limited selection) or shop for a special souvenir of your Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort stay.
The resort's Recreation Team will be holding a variety of holiday-themed activities for Guests to enjoy - there may be a surprise or two in store to celebrate the New Year! The recreation calendar is usually available on Thursday or Friday and lists activities for the following week (the week starts on Sunday). If you'd like to have a sneak peek of the calendar before your Christmas visit, you can phone the resort and a Cast Member at the Front Desk can send one by email so you can begin planning your days with any activities that pique your interest.
Paula, I hope this information is helpful as your Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort stay approaches. Please let us know if you have any other DVC or vacation planning questions - we'd love to help!
See ya real soon,
Candace
