today's adventure begins
0:03
by looking at King Neptune
0:16
and right past the marina
0:16
with all those boats behind King Neptune
0:18
with this very large trident
0:21
his Disney's
0:24
Hilton Head Island
0:26
Resort
0:28
where I am staying
0:30
and I'm going to give a little tour
0:32
but I wanted to showcase the sculpture
0:34
here
0:36
starting off
0:38
Shelter Cove Harbor
0:42
home of the world's largest figurative
0:44
Sundial dedicated back in 1983
0:47
take a look at this I never realized
0:49
there was a sundial here
0:52
this sculpture weighs more than a ton
0:55
is twice life-size statue of Neptune
0:58
cast in bronze
0:59
of the one in Princeton New Jersey
1:03
so this one bested the other
1:19
Neptune serves as a focal point of the
1:19
sundial in our Marina Community this
1:21
gives a little general layout of the
1:23
land
1:24
I am here Neptune statue and all this
1:28
across the marina
1:30
so this is part of Hilton Head Island
1:33
but this is a separate
1:36
Disney Vacation Club Island over past
1:39
the boat docks over this bridge so I'm
1:43
gonna walk over there
1:44
I'll give a little boxer tour
1:52
that direction
1:52
not the back side of water but the back
1:54
side of King Neptune with this Triton
1:56
now in order to get on this little
1:59
section you have to cross this bridge
2:01
over to their separate Island
2:04
there is a walkway but if you want to
2:06
get a vehicle across you have to have a
2:08
card key
2:10
and be a registered guest welcome
2:12
everyone out of the Wu here as a
2:14
recording of it says Tuesday March 21st
2:16
2023 going
2:19
that direction Hilton Head over the
2:22
bridge that sun is really
2:24
starting to formulate itself upon my
2:27
face which is nice because yesterday we
2:29
checked in the sun was not out as of
2:32
today
2:32
even though it's cool and crisp the sun
2:34
is out
2:36
which it might warm up hopefully Jordan
2:45
going in
2:45
Sally there's a little walkway here that
2:47
goes across where the vehicles
2:49
Drive
2:55
really like this Resort one of the
2:55
things I really like about staying here
2:57
is you not have the temptation of going
3:00
to the theme park because there is no
3:01
Disney theme parks
3:03
so you're not tempted to get on a
3:04
monorail a bus any other Transportation
3:07
device a Skyliner all you do is soak in
3:10
the ambiance of Hilton Head
3:13
with a little Disney flare little Disney
3:15
Experience cast members are here guests
3:18
are here you get the vibe
3:20
without the hustle and bustle of the
3:22
theme parks
3:28
it's nice there is a scan in checkpoint
3:28
right up there you have your key card
3:30
when you go in or to register as that
3:33
little gate that goes up and down
3:35
skin with someone's scanning in now
3:39
private
3:40
no pets allowed
3:43
you can rent bicycles which I'll
3:45
showcase that as well there is a
3:46
continuous shuttle over to the beach
3:48
house
3:49
from 10 a.m to 5 p.m so so right there
3:51
and this is the shuttle take a look at
3:54
this you got Mickey and Minnie runaway
3:56
on the side
4:04
Pluto and then goofy off in the distance
4:04
driving the train
4:06
I always wonder why it's not called
4:07
Goofy's runaway Railway because he's the
4:09
one
4:11
wanna hop over and get some coffee
4:14
and just show some of the landscape
4:18
it's a melody
4:19
when you check in you go over here to
4:20
the Live Oak Lodge
4:23
where there's this topiary Mickey right
4:26
holding the sign welcome everyone in
4:30
and Live Oak Lodge is right there where
4:34
you check in and check out
4:36
you go up to the top of those stairs
4:38
and that's where you register and get
4:40
your keys to your room
4:42
Broad Creek Mercantile is where I have
4:45
merchandise you know just like you would
4:47
have like merchandise in the Emporium or
4:49
Disney Springs or at the Disney Store at
4:51
the airport or anything like that it is
4:54
at the Mercantile
4:55
and that's also where you can get snacks
4:58
Quick Service
4:59
things like that that is directly next
5:01
to the pool this direction temperature
5:03
right now is 48 degrees at 8 22. it's
5:06
going to get up to 62.
5:08
and down to 46 is going to be the
5:11
complete low it's a lot of things I like
5:13
about this Resort but one of them being
5:15
the landscape and the trees right here
5:18
on the Water The Hammocks off in the
5:20
distance might be a little too chilly
5:24
for the butterflies to be out in the
5:26
butterfly garden
5:27
but when they are these are some of the
5:29
ones that you could find
5:31
in this area but it is
5:33
cool and crisp so
5:36
might not see any butterflies flapping
5:38
their wings around when you check in if
5:40
you have a quite a bit of luggage you
5:43
can use one of these luggage carts
5:44
to get over to your room
5:47
that's what we did I got my family with
5:48
me it's only 8 30 right now 8 25 pool
5:52
does not open till nine oh yeah
6:13
as you approach the dock there's a dock
6:13
out here I'm going to walk on I'm gonna
6:15
take a long walk
6:16
kind of short pier well it's kind of a
6:18
long beer if I'm going to take a short
6:19
walk on a log deer there's all these
6:21
different dimensions to show you where
6:22
some of the other dvc's properties are
6:24
Disney's Polynesian 340 miles from here
6:27
Disney's Old Key West 337 miles from
6:30
here up on the second level there above
6:32
this fire pit which you're going to use
6:33
a little bit later for some s'mores is
6:35
the Broad Creek Mercantile where they
6:37
have a place called whether they have
6:39
the gift shop but they also have a place
6:40
called tide me over quick service which
6:44
they have complimentary coffee no charge
6:46
for the coffee or at least
6:48
at least today they had it set up I went
6:50
and tried to order a coffee and they
6:51
just said it was complimentary it's
6:52
right over there so I ended up getting a
6:55
coffee a piping caffeinated beverage
6:57
here with the Walt Disney World emblem
7:00
on it in South Carolina you can also
7:02
rent bicycles I checked last night I
7:04
didn't I didn't rent one yet because I
7:05
think I'm gonna be a little too brisk
7:06
today but hopefully as the week
7:08
progresses maybe I could run a bicycle I
7:11
believe it's 24 a day or 37 during the
7:13
course of your stay so you're wondering
7:15
for one day
7:17
about 24 a day if you're a DVC member it
7:20
might be a couple dollars more if you're
7:21
not not only bicycles you can rent those
7:23
you can also rent fishing poles or check
7:26
them out and you could do a little catch
7:27
and release fishing in fact the name of
7:30
this pier is fishing pole Pier
7:33
got a little picnic table here
7:39
life preserver
7:39
the pool is equipped with a hot tub a
7:43
kind of a wading pool off to the side
7:45
the main pool and a water slide
7:55
upon check-in gave me this kind of
7:55
information guide on some of the stuff
7:56
that's happening experiences beyond the
7:59
pool and it's not really specifically
8:01
for the date but it's for the whole week
8:03
so for today this kind of just showcases
8:05
right here in the middle
8:07
21st what is happening obviously at the
8:10
pool they do trivia
8:12
they do wreaths they do Resort walks
8:16
there's a cannonball contest Pluto's
8:18
doing some bingo at four five PM is a
8:21
s'mores bar some trivia a little bit
8:24
later here are the hours now the tide me
8:28
over opens at eight for breakfast stop
8:29
but at lunch they have a different lunch
8:31
menu
8:32
starting at seven I guess the surf and
8:34
Sandbar is probably the
8:37
the Quick Service over at the beach and
8:39
this shows how to get to the beach you
8:41
can either take a bicycle rental over
8:43
there you can walk you can take your own
8:45
personal car or take the
8:49
shuttle that goes across so there's
8:51
hhi oh Hilton Head Island Resort
8:54
and it just kind of shows where the
8:56
Disney beach house is over there and
8:58
they have scratched out the captain
9:00
Gilman's restaurant as a landmark
9:03
because I think that closed that's not
9:04
part of part of the property but that
9:05
landmark's gone now I guess as far as
9:07
snacks go here's some of the chicken
9:09
strips hamburgers ham sandwiches
9:11
Uncrustables oh they have dope whips oh
9:15
and Beignets I'm gonna I'm probably
9:17
gonna get a Dole Whip after a mustache
9:19
and also next to the little eatery place
9:22
and the Mercantile well in the
9:24
Mercantile is a lot of different
9:25
merchandise they have
9:27
specific Hilton Head Island Disney
9:29
Resort merchandise and they also have a
9:31
lot of DVC stuff
9:33
in there as well so there's like a it's
9:35
like their own little version of The
9:36
Emporium here in South Carolina
9:39
cast member working in here also you can
9:41
rent DVDs they have DVD rentals
9:44
so the room that we're in has a couple
9:48
TVs and each TV has a DVD player you can
9:51
rent DVDs kind of like old style
9:54
in a lot of ways you can just rent
9:56
whatever you want
9:58
and there's no charge for it you just
10:00
put down your room number name and all
10:02
that and
10:03
bring it back at the end of your stay
10:05
or within a day or two
10:12
we ended up grabbing a movie and it's
10:12
good for the duration of my say
10:15
obviously I'll probably turn and get
10:17
another one as time goes let me go get
10:18
one each night just so the family and I
10:19
can watch us in the in the room it's a
10:22
two no it's a two-day rental okay never
10:23
mind two-day rental and if it's a if
10:25
it's returned late it doesn't cost
10:27
anything to run it but if you turn it
10:29
late 25 late fee but you get it up there
10:31
at the Broad Creek Mercantile it's
10:34
almost cornhole because there's corn in
10:35
the bags
10:46
I think the wind might be affecting the
10:46
throws
11:10
I got one in the hole though yeah it's
11:10
in the hole
11:12
it's in the hole it's in the holes
11:17
compared to that tree you guys are tiny
11:26
underneath the huge huge tree you know
11:26
what kind of tree that is
11:27
oak tree
11:38
there's a pelican going by
11:38
pelican
11:39
is that a pelican right there
11:46
going inside where the registration
11:46
building is so when you first walk in
11:49
they have this Mickey not so Hidden
11:51
Mickey on the front door you go in also
11:52
you could do pen trading here I forgot
11:53
to bring my pens my Disney World and
11:55
Disneyland pounds to try because I have
11:57
like a bunch of tradable ones forgot to
11:59
bring that and there's like a definitely
12:01
a lot of Mickey stuff in here there's
12:02
also a little Lounge area with a
12:05
fireplace and some little knickknacks on
12:07
the wall and whatnot and some fish in a
12:10
bin and then a pool table and I just
12:12
realized that I am not very good at pool
12:15
it's been a long since I played it never
12:16
claimed to be good but I definitely am
12:18
not very good at pool and my aunt and
12:21
uncle are also here with my mom and dad
12:22
having a little family vacation if you
12:24
will and I realized that my uncle was
12:26
much better at pool than I am and he he
12:30
bested me and he won by kind of a
12:33
landslide at the end of the at the end
12:35
of the pool game
12:36
but now we're out on the back porch of
12:38
the main area kind of looking out over
12:40
the water
12:41
and the trees
13:06
it's the wind
13:06
whoa oh
13:08
oh
13:14
I think he's going to knock out a
13:14
company
13:36
so let's play the 21 points unless
13:36
you're really awful then just play to
13:38
11. that's what it says on the side
13:42
breaks that way and it's slow
13:48
thank you
13:48
so just go for any hole
13:51
kind of like you do on a pole you shoot
13:53
look at that look at that ah
13:56
I hit it too hard yeah
13:58
you missed I know I missed it's almost
14:01
there it's almost in the hole
14:16
one-handed too I was filming with the
14:16
other hand
14:24
yeah good job
14:26
whoa right in the hole
14:44
all right going down the slide slide the
14:47
slide rules
14:54
that's a mirror up here
14:54
comparing myself
14:57
preparing myself for a descent down the
15:01
slide I'm only much of a line for this
15:04
lot no people have been going down the
15:06
slide and I will say this is a heated
15:07
slide because I can feel the warmth
15:09
coming out of this tube
15:13
my feet first flying out back I only
15:15
keep hands on feet and legs inside the
15:16
slide at all times I don't know how you
15:18
would be able to take it out of the
15:19
slide
15:20
cold at the bottom of the slide is three
15:22
feet six inches
15:29
all right going in wait till it turns
15:29
green green
15:43
oh yeah
15:43
I get a little cool because the
15:46
temperature but now I'm over here in the
15:49
hot tub
15:50
which is nice
16:27
and after going to the pool and hot tub
16:27
for a while return back to the room
16:29
relaxed a bit and now heading back oh
16:32
look at this uh over here there's like a
16:34
winged air mail right up top an airmail
16:36
mailbox right there but evidently I was
16:39
waiting over here Pluto is going to be
16:42
doing some Bingo it's called Bing Pluto
16:45
bingo so not only to me that means that
16:49
Pluto will be doing Bingo all right
16:51
evidently I'm probably wrong on this but
16:54
maybe there is maybe Pluto the character
16:56
is not here maybe it's just called Pluto
16:58
because you're trying to get the free
17:00
space Pluto there they're gonna ask
17:03
questions I was thinking maybe that
17:05
Pluto was going to be here character
17:07
Pluto was going to arrive to Hilton Head
17:10
Resort and actually asked some questions
17:11
for a do
17:13
the Bingo but I think I'm wrong on that
17:16
but either way
17:18
this will be fun
17:42
this character is one of the five
17:42
emotions up five emotions
17:51
okay that ended up being a loss for my
17:51
mom and myself we neither one of us
17:52
ended up doing very well at bingo
17:55
whatsoever we are being they ended up
17:57
doing three or four different games they
17:58
went one diagonal one straight straight
18:01
up and down so horizontal diagonal and
18:04
then crisscross we we didn't win
18:07
anything so now we are heading over not
18:09
at the end of the pier but down towards
18:12
the front of the pier
18:14
near where you can you know get the
18:15
snacks and stuff but they're doing
18:17
they're going to be doing a s'mores
18:20
they're going to have s'mores of the
18:22
fire where you can get different items
18:25
and you can melt them over the fire
18:28
and have yourself a little little
18:30
campfire moment with all the other
18:31
guests that are here and end up making
18:33
end up having some uh
18:35
some s'mores make yourself some s'mores
18:37
of different different products that you
18:39
can make it melts and and everything and
18:41
have yourself a little s'mores in the
18:43
early evening hours late afternoon early
18:46
evening hours okay I have chosen cookies
18:48
KitKat marshmallows and Hershey bars to
18:52
mix in with my graham crackers so they
18:54
just pretty much said which what
18:56
toppings would you like and I didn't
18:57
really know what to get I said just give
18:58
me what you think probably is the most
19:01
the most popular and like the most basic
19:03
but I do need to get a stick I don't
19:05
really know have you ever done s'mores
19:06
before you put the chocolate in there
19:08
and then you get these hot and then you
19:11
take one off and put it there and squash
19:13
them together smush them together maybe
19:15
put another one there and squish that
19:16
together all right so we melt these down
19:35
put the chocolate on top of it all right
19:35
like that yep put that and then swish it
19:38
like that yeah and then you gotta smush
19:40
it so I can pull it out
19:43
oh wow okay it's definitely a lot more
19:46
complex than I expected it to be
19:48
you think it's gonna be good yeah
19:52
yeah a lot of people showed up for this
19:55
out here you just see like a lot of
19:57
people came out they already had the
19:59
cornball
20:01
oh yeah that was earlier
20:04
the cornhole contest
20:11
I had that earlier
20:11
crunchy
20:12
all right we are playing bocce ball
20:14
which I'm not familiar with
20:16
my uncle's going to teach us here so Mom
20:18
is rolling
20:19
this one
20:22

20:23
close to this white one
20:29

20:29
gonna be team blue
20:41

the Hilton Head Island Resort
21:08
boat dock where there's no fishing
21:11
from the docks
