- Comments: Four days at a beach resort all alone seemed too long to Sue (especially when wishing for some particular company) so she split the trip between Walt Disney World and the Vero Beach DVC resort.

- Comments: Living in Orlando, Evelyn and her husband never thought they'd regularly stay at Disney resorts, but they enjoyed themselves so much during an anniversary stay at Wilderness Lodge that they ended up joining the Disney Vacation Club. This report is their first use of that membership, with a visit to the Vero Beach Resort.

- Comments: Sue's return to Hilton Head is defiantly pleasurable despite persistently bad weather. A great resort and good company are more than enough to overcome other negatives. (Note:
As Sue spent a great deal of time at Pleasure Island and in
other adult venues, on this trip, this report has some information
that may not be appropriate for young readers.)

- Comments: As usual, Sue provides a fantastic
narrative of her recent trip. As she states, "Overall this
vacation was a great time, and the "not so magical"
moments were very minor compared to the good stuff! DVC is terrific,
and made it so easy to share great lodging with our friends
the Wilmots." (Note:

- Comments: Besides answering the question,
"why the heck do you go to WDW so often?," Sue's latest
report gives all of the details on her latest trip to Disney's
Hilton Head Island resort along with a short additional stop
at the Boardwalk to enjoy a night at the Comedy Warehouse.

- Comments: Sue and her son Chris visited Vero
Beach, then stopped back at WDW for awhile. Chris was
only with Sue during the first part of the WDW stay. In
any case, this is another patent-Sue Holland report -- full
of details and lots of unusual (not typically touristy) things.

- Comments: After having a great time when they
visited WDW in June of 2001, the Johnson clan made plans to
return both Spring and Summer of 2002. The family first
spent some time at Disney's Vero Beach resort before moving
over to the Villas at Wilderness Lodge to wrap up their trip.

- Comments: Sue and her son Chris visited
Hilton Head Island again. This was an eight-day trip,
and the report, as usual, is filled with details. If you want
to know more about Hilton Head Island Resort, this report (and
Sue's December 2000 report) will provide a lot of information.

- Comments: Sue and her son Chris spent
their traditional Christmas break at WDW and Hilton Head Island.
This is a great report, although Sue whines too much about the
cold (I live in Michigan and have no patience for those Floridians
that can't stand it below 70° Fahrenheit.) Seriously,
this is a great report with plenty of details...a Sue Holland
classic.

- Comments: Kevin now has several trip
reports in the archive. This one covers the family's blockbuster
trip to WDW with a mid-course side-trip to Vero Beach.
Kevin has a very personal style that I'm sure you'll enjoy...and
in between laughs, you'll learn a ton about WDW as you read,
too.

- Comments: This is the first trip report
I have from Sue in which she stayed ONLY at the offsite resort
(although I have several reports in which she's split time between
Vero and one of the WDW DVC resorts.) The report gives
a tremendous amount of information about the Vero Beach Resort
and how to best enjoy a stay there.

- Comments: Kathy and Stan visited Hilton
Head Resort for a week in early March. They planned around
a trip they were making to Washington D.C. One of the
main objectives for the trip was to investigate buying into
the DVC. I'll let you read the report to see how things
came out.

The Prices are bonafide addicts of their DVC membership, and
enjoy taking advantage of every moment they can at a Disney

- Comments: On this trip, Sue and her son
Chris visited WDW, Vero Beach, and did some off-siting for a
couple of weeks -- a very long trip for the Hollands.
As always, Sue's report is well-detailed and full of great information.
I really, really have to get to the Comedy Warehouse someday

with her family that was punctuated with the surprise arrival
at WDW of several of her on-line friends for her 40th birthday!
This is a nicely written report, detailed and play-by-play in

- Comments: In Cora's first trip to a DVC resort as a
member, the family spent a few days enjoying the sun at Vero
Beach. This was a short trip, but with a nice report to
give a flavor of Vero Beach Resort. The trip was a nice
golf and relaxation getaway.

- Comments: This is a fantastic report of a great week-long

the resort and the activities that are available there and on
the Island. If you're considering a trip here, this is
a fantastic report to read to get some good details about what

she describes a wonderful trip over new years to Hilton Head
Island. Besides a nice running commentary, Patti describes
many of the activities that the family participated in.

- Comments: The seventh trip to WDW in one year.
Sue makes me so stinking jealous that I want to scream.
Even so, it's fun to read her wonderful reports because she
does such a nice job of describing the trip -- while being particularly
helpful for those of us that are planning (perhaps perpetually)
future ones. This report is particularly interesting because,
in addition to a trip to WDW, Sue and her son Chris visited
Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort, too.

- Comments: Jim and his family spent a weekend at Disney's
Hilton Head Resort. They thoroughly enjoyed the resort
and the many activities that are available there. It's
been a long time since anyone has provided a report for Hilton
Head, it seems (from this report) that the resort is really
hitting it's target audience. This is a short report,
but a great update on Disney's most recently-added DVC property!

- Comments: This was a relatively short trip, intended
to satisfy two things - to see Vero for the first time, and
to somewhat appease the WDW withdrawal that Sue and Chris have
had since their last trip in late March/early April (poor dears).
The report is a play-by-play style, but doesn't get too bogged
down in detail. Also, the boys (age 11 and 12) were given
some lattitude in being by themselves in the parks...it's a
hard thing to do when the kids are in that in-between stage,
and Sue's report gives some good insight about what works and
what doesn't when the kids are growing up.

nice stop by the ocean, the family also enjoyed the holiday
goings-on at WDW.

- Comments: This is a report that Bill wrote about his
1996 stay at Disney's Hilton Head resort. It's not WDW, as Bill
points out, but it's Disney. Disney Vacation Club members especially
will be interested in this report. Be aware that Bill's
report is a bit critical, as it was written when the resort
was just opening for business.

- Comments: Holly reports that they have been back to
Disney's Hilton Head Resort twice since this first trip. The
last time they joined the family that they met on this first
trip. The Franklin's and the Purcell's have become good friends
since that trip and have stayed in touch...only at Disney...The
Franklin family are not DVC members, but should be...they've
stayed in Vacation Club resorts 6 times...the ultimate Disney
Vacation Club Wannabees!
