In typical Disney fashion, they carry the theming of Shadow very well, including some Shadow merchandise in the gift shop. Shadow is the resort mascot, but only shows up once each week. A fairly new activity is a 30-minute magic presentation, which was offered twice during our last week at the resort. It's for all ages, and I'm sure Chris and Steven would have enjoyed it had they been around during the time it was offered. This activity is geared to Steven and the younger set, as opposed to the teens.
Younger kids come in their pajamas, but it's open to all ages, in any attire.
Guests learn how to crab and create their own crab catcher. In mid-April, the craft was May flowers. Asked what their favorite things to do at Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort were, neither Steven nor Chris mentioned the structured activities. However for anyone new to this type of resort experience, the activities can really add to the fun. Favorite things for Chris to do include playing pool in Big Murgie's Den, bike riding, swimming, riding the rental banana bikes on the beach, playing volleyball in the pool at the Beach House, and meeting other kids.
