With Hurricane Matthew about to bear down on the eastern seaboard, two Disney Vacation Club resorts are proactively taking steps to accommodate guests.

Twenty years ago, Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort played a role in preparations for the Atlanta Summer Olympic Games.

Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort was the third property added to the timeshare program and a cherished vacation spot for many members. But the lack of a nearby theme park isn't the only aspect that separates Hilton Head from the likes of Disney's Polynesian Village Resort and the Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel.

It appears that Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort will be spared any direct impact from hurricane "Irene."

Recently I had a chance to visit Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort for the first time.  What a wonderful little property it is!  It may not have the oceanfront location of the nearby Marriott where I was staying for a conference but the Disney Vacation Club property is a much more attractive development.
