As tourists, we love staying at those five star hotels with room service, a jacuzzi tub, comfy King sized beds, and delicious chocolates shaped into Mickeys waiting on those tables when we arrive! Disney does not fail to impress us with relaxation when it comes to hotels. But what if things are not what they seem in a hotel and they have the TOWER OF TERROR?
The hotel has been deserted and now only dust and cobwebs fill the room with a strange silence in the air. Where did everyone go? Do you know? Strange occurrences have been happening lately at the famous Hollywood Tower Hotel. Yet, tourists still decide to check into this hotel but not for its room service or Mickey chocolates. They are here for the… Twilight Zone. Guests planning to check into the hotel are greeted by a bellhop who seems like the only person ”looking alive” at the place. The lobby is deadly still with not much going around.
Guests are then taken to a pre-show room where they are given a background that explains why the hotel is deserted and what really went wrong on the day of Halloween 1939. Now that you’ve checked in, you are ready to ascend the elevator that will take you to your room. Or in this case, the 13th floor. This elevator has been waiting for you and now it’s your turn to enter the…Twilight Zone!

Disney’s Hilton Head Island Food is amazing! The resort features two quick service restaurants, Tide Me Over at the resort and Signals at the beach house pool, but there is not a table service option available on property. The two quick service restaurants serve Mickey waffles and other breakfast items in the morning and basic sandwiches, burgers and salads in the afternoon and evening. At the beach house pool, there is also a bar that makes fabulous frozen alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. At the resort gift shop, you can also purchase Mickey ice cream bars and other ice cream treats, basic snacks like cookies and pretzels and drinks. If you eat all your meals on the resort property, you won’t ever go hungry, but you might get a bit bored.
Thankfully, the resort is in the middle of an island full of great restaurants and Disney has even arranged discounts with several. Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort is right next to Shelter Cove Marina. You walk or ride your bike across a small foot bridge at the front of the resort and you are in Shelter Cove. There are several restaurants in the marina and many of them offer Disney guests a 10% discount, you just need to show your resort room key.
We personally tried Kingfisher, which is a steak and seafood restaurant, and San Miguel’s Mexican Cafe. Both restaurants had great offerings. Kingfisher is right next to the resort and featured a variety of seafood options, including several daily specials. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating. San Miguel’s was one of the best Mexican restaurants I have been to (and that includes several in Mexico). The menu boasts that the margaritas are the best in the state and I would have to agree. In fact, I think the margarita at San Miguel’s ruined other margaritas for me. The restaurant has indoor seating as well as outdoor. The outdoor seating is close to the bar, which often features live music. It is a very laid back atmosphere and a great location to end a day.
