Located along South Carolina’s coast, Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort is designed to resemble a hunting and fishing lodge from the 1940s. If you’re looking for a laid-back vacation where you can step back to a simpler time, this is the destination of your dreams. You can play board games in the community hall, enjoy the pool tables at the Live Oak Lodge, or gather round the campfire for a sing along. Guided nature walks and dolphin discovery tours will help you appreciate your gorgeous natural surroundings in Hilton Head.

The resort offers three pools including the 72,000-gallon Big Dipper pool with a wraparound waterslide. Check the schedule of activities when you check in to make sure you don’t miss any of the fun. You’ll find Movies Under the Oaks, fishing and crabbing, kayak adventures, and tee-shirt tie dyeing.

Onboard the Disney Cruise Line, you can take the magic of Disney onto the high seas. These cruises feature live Disney-themed shows, character experiences with your Disney favorites, and themed deck parties with everything from pirates to Jedi knights. These cruises are well-suited to families with a nursery for children under age three and kids clubs with immersive activities for older age ranges. Whether you want to swim alongside Nemo and friends or splash in a Mickey-shaped pool, you can find what you’re after on a Disney Cruise.

You don’t have to go for roller coasters, dark rides, and other theme park classics to get some Disney in your vacation. Consider one of these alternatives for pixie dust without the long queues and long days of walking.
