This reminds me...Is there anyway to get a press pot of coffee "to go"? Or is there any where to get a good cup of coffee so I can have it on my balcony? OR - do they have coffee makers for regular coffee, not the pods?

Two week countdown begins today! The kids are so excited. We'll be doing 7 nights in 2 standard studios at Kidani and then 6 nights in a standard 2bdrm. We've had every possible viewing situation at Kidani, including the disastrous Pembe room that my kids called "the barn of dooooom room". As a family, we have pretty much decided we'd rather have longer trips in standard rooms and enjoy the animals down in the rocking chairs or on the overlook balconies than shorter trips looking out the window to MAYBE see some animals.
This is our first non-dining plan trip since 2004, and the first time we're riding the Autotrain so we'll have a car. Lots of new things on our agenda, which is always fun after a decade plus of DVC membership. My kids are Kidani addicts and refuse to let us stay anywhere else in the past few years. We tried bribes and threats in an attempt to budge them toward Beach Club this trip, but it wasn't gonna happen without a big fight, and who wants grumpy kids on vacation. I love Kidani, too, so it's not a hardship.
This trip is totally going to make up for our last disaster, in which my inlaws, who were traveling with us, decided on day 3 to get a divorce (and admit infidelity on one of their parts) and 7 out of 9 of us ended up with pervasive strep/scarlet fever. I had 8 day tickets on that trip and spent less than 10 hours total in the parks because I was, as the mom, the designated "sick people keeper" as they started dropping like flies and being treated with antibiotics.
From what I remember each room has a little coffee maker in it. Typical kind you see in most hotel rooms. Coffee is okay - not great but drinkable & it has caffine.

I've never stayed at AKV, but I think the answer is no to the QS and yes to breakfast items at the gift shop. Brandi or Kim will know for sure...Also, does AKV have it's own QS or do I have to walk back over to the other part of the resort? Or a shop selling breakfast items?

2 questions for the experts:
1) how much can we fit in the room fridge (standard pool view)? Can we get a half gallon of milk, a 2 liter bottle of soda, some bottles of water & and some fruit in there?
2) Is there an in-room hair dryer?
3) What kind of TV set up is there? Is there a DVD player attached?
Thanks in advance

TruBlu said:1) You could easily fit all that in your room fridge. They are the standard size half/fridges that you see in most hotels.
2) Yes there is a hair dryer
3) Not sure about the DVD - I think NO, but I can't remember for sure.
Paula Sedley-Burke said:If its a studio room (DVC) you should get a DVD unit.
Also, does AKV have it's own QS or do I have to walk back over to the other part of the resort? Or a shop selling breakfast items?
...while, yes, there are food items, your best bet is still just going to the Mara...
