How close to the Kidani pool will I be in a standard/pool room?

[moopdog]

I got an official letter in the mail on Saturday informing me that the Uzima pool slide will be closed during our upcoming trip to AKL. The letter mentioned that we would be allowed to use the Kidani pool and slide during our stay and that bus transportation would be provided, etc.

I've never stayed at AKL before, so I am not sure exactly how close or far I could end up being to the open pool slide. We have a standard/pool view room booked. If I was to call and ask to be located on that side of AKL, is that a possibility or is that area only reserved for DVC? And....would Disney do upgrades/moves based on the fact that their pool slide is down for refurb if I call and ask?? Not trying to get something for nothing, but my kids are big pool-slide lovers and will be dissapointed to not have it open during our week.

TIA.
