Disney's Hilton Head Resort

After lunch, we headed south along the coast to Disney's Hilton Head Resort. We called to see what availability was, and were quoted a great rate. However, the reservationist didn't know if we could park an RV in the resort parking lot. She suggested we drive down and check, and get a room at that point. What we didn't realize is Hilton Head is a long way of the highway, and by the time we made it to the Disney resort, we sure didn't want to hear that we couldn't park there. Luckily they were able to accommodate our RV for one night, but it was clear it was not something they wanted to encourage. The resort is very nice, and it was great to spread out a bit, even if only for one night. We let the kids swim in the pool, but the slide was closed for the day.
In the morning, we went on a "Marsh Walk". A Disney naturalist discussed a few of the plants and animals that live in the wetlands adjacent to the resort. We then let the kids swim and slide at the "Big Dipper" pool, and met Shadow, the resort's dog, before we headed out. 
The area around the resort is a little more developed than I had imagined it, but I could definitely stay a few days here in the future, hanging out at the resort, doing the activities offered by Disney, and using it as a base to explore Charleston and Savannah. Next time, however, we'll come in a car.
