I have talked about many of the included activities and amenities in previous posts, but I am going to expand on that here with even more! A picture is worth a thousand words, so I am going to load this post up with pictures from all around the resort. The pictures below represent a small sample of what is available to do. There are multiple picnic areas with grills and games scattered throughout the resort. We were always able to find somewhere to play cornhole, horseshoes, etc without a wait at all! Here are some more pictures I took while walking around the resort. It is so peaceful here. Now on to the numerous scheduled activities available! You can see the circles on our copy here because meeting Shadow (who is basically the mascot for the resort) was a top priority for my kids. A cast member circled them all for us at check-in to make sure we met him! The majority of these activities are completely free, but there is a $ next to the ones that do have an additional cost. I did not get photos of all we did unfortunately. We attended several of the little shows with B'lou where I didn't take pictures. The kids really enjoyed his magic tricks and stories. The campfire was an absolute blast! My son was chosen to ring the bell to begin the campfire because he correctly answered a Disney trivia question, and that is the first picture. The entire time there is filled with interactive songs and stories. We even scored a FastPass to be the first in line for S'mores! I highly recommend you experience this at least one night of your stay. These are all from Shadow's Funny Bunny Hunt. B'lou takes you for a walk all around the property. There are many funny tales and folklore involved in this activity. Plus we got to meet the amazing Shadow! Another absolute must for us was meeting Pluto! It was a very well organized meet with a short wait. Goofy Bingo! They describe the character, and you cover the character that is the answer on your card. There were also some bonus trivia questions throughout the game. Even I was stumped when they got the very obscure ones! Bingo was fun for all of us from age 4 to adult. Many packs of Smarties were won this night :) I hope you have enjoyed this installment! I will be wrapping things up with the next post where we will FINALLY make it to the beach. Stay tuned!

Hello again! After a very long delay, I’m finally back to post part 2. I apologize for the wait. Life, work, and the holidays made for a very busy few months. This little packet is given at check-in so that you are aware of what is happening during your visit. It is full of information to help you plan out any activities you would like to do. Broad creek rentals*Please keep in mind that all schedules and pricing are subject to change. This is what was available to us during our September 2016 stay! This is where you can rent equipment for your stay. We rented fishing poles and purchased crab nets and bait. It was so much fun, and a definite change of pace from our normal busy vacations. Here are some pictures of the pier and main fishing area. That's me trying to catch a whopper! broad creek mercantile/tide me overRight above Broad Creek Rentals, you'll find Broad Creek Mercantile and Tide Me Over. An important thing to note about the restaurants at the resort and beach house is that they close VERY early. The purpose is to encourage visitors to go out and explore the enormous amount of wonderful restaurants in the area for dinner. We took advantage of the kitchen in our villa for most meals, but we did stop at Tide Me Over for Mickey waffles a few times. The Mercantile carries all of the basic needs as well as lots of Mickey treats. There is a small selection of swimsuits and beach toys as well as other standard gift shop trinkets. You can also check-out DVDs here for FREE! The library of Disney movies was so extensive that I could find anything I tried to look for! Also, make sure you stop at the penny press right outside the doors that you can see in the picture. Game roomIf you head back downstairs, you will find a game room next door to the rentals. We really had so much fun playing here! The kids couldn't seem to get enough. The Big Dipper Feature PoolWe had a bad storm come through, and these pictures are immediately following that. It was very chilly! This is the only time we saw an empty pool all week long. That's it for part 2! I am putting together info about the activities we participated in and photos of the many free things to do at the resort for part 3! Are you ready to book your next Disney vacation?
