So, after checking out the room and unpacking we sat down on the balcony to enjoy the view and have a drink. After a little kissy face like high schoolers it was time to head down to the pool and enjoy some hot Florida sun. Our room was about a 1 minute away from the pool.
There were plenty of chairs available for us in the pool area. The area is beautifully themed and the slide is awesome. I saw some adults get some pretty good speed by the end of the slide that it ended up spining them around. Also, you'll want be sure to have some footwear to utilize because the pool deck becomes very hot during the mid-day sun. Here are some photos of the pool area:
Once Kidani Village is up to full capacity the pool is going to seem really small. While in the pool I counted 15 other people and couldn't imagine there being 50 people in there. It would be crazy.
Off to one side is the kids play area that is nicely themed. Here in Wisconisn we have some of the best waterparks around, so the kids area didn't WOW me like it has others. I was just thinking that in Florida, where it surface of the sun hot during summer, there should be a lot more water flying everywhere.
These floweres are hooked up to motion sensors so they spray as you walk by them:
Same with the snakes:
At one end there is a nice falls area and it has some water guns:
I forgot to take a picture of it, but on the other end there is a kids play area where they can climb and slide. It's where I took this picture from. Just be really careful though in this area. I didn't have shoes on and that ground was really really hot!! I can't imagine that during the summer at mid-day, it would be scorching especially since it's brown in color! (forgot to mention that in that little pool area you see see, there are pressure sensors built into ground that when stepped on send a jet of water in the air. They didn't quite have it right the first day and the water was getting shot about 20 feet up!! LOL The cast member I was talking to said, "That would really clean your backside". LOL)
At around 2 pm the recreation crew setup next to the pool for some activities. First up was dancing and then came Disney Trivia. My wife isn't so good at Disney trivia, but I'm good at it. Whoever wanted to play got a dry-erase board and a marker and could sit wherever they wanted to. They got going with the questions and some of them were hard, and some of them were easy. There was one lady there who knew everything... and I mean everything. In the end we finished third and won a Pictionary game set. Mrs. Knowitall ended up wining a Trivial Pursuit game.
After around 3.5 hours of lounging around the pool it was time to get my pasty body out of the sun. So we headed into the lobby area to do some looking around the resort.
More to come!!
