I believe all pools close at 11pm now..but I am not sure about the hot tubs as they are never "guarded"

They close at the same time as the pool technically, they put up a little sign that says closed...but people still use them and none of the workers walking past seemed to care. Hot tub at your own risk?

Wondering if it is worth the time to take a mid day break at the resort while staying at AKL ? I mean since it is about a 30 minute ride to all the parks but AK ? We plan on staying next August and I know it is really hot in the middle of the day, so we plan on going back to the resort for a swim break.
For anyone who has done this is it time consuming or is better to just stay in the parks ?

One month to go until my trip. Time to start packing... On arrival day we were planning on just exploring the resort. Do they provide towels at the pool? I am hoping to not have to pack towels in my carry on?

We are only there for three nights before switching resorts, so what is the one "don't miss" food item? We have eaten at Boma several times, so I was thinking at Mara?

Thanks

HI Everyone. We have two families (6 ppl and 4 ppl) for a total of 10 people. We can easily fit in a two bedroom villa but wondering if they will allow it? The grand villa is just so much more expensive. I am just wondering how us sneaking a 10th in will work with magic bands... dining... etc. HELP!

The 2 bedroom fits 9 unless your 10 is under 3. If not, you are over occupancy for a 2 bedroom and won't be able to book it.

We quite often go back mid-afternoon to nap/relax/etc before going back out for dinner and the evening.

For the list, we will be there 12/2-12/8

 

[LJD2143]

Arriving at AKL in 2 weeks!

Other than Mara, is there anywhere else to refill the refillable mugs at Jambo House? i.e. is there a pool bar?

 

[dlmig]

Thanks for your answer!... we were thinking of renting DVC points, so we won't be booking through Disney. Does that make a difference? I am wondering if we can purchase park tickets separately for the 10th person (our littlest is 5) but then how would that effect fast pass reservations. hmmm....

We are dedicated mid-day break folks and we stayed at AKL for the first time back in May. We did the mid-day break at the hotel when we were touring AK and DHS, but in both cases were were all but done with the actual touring so we didn't miss the time for transport. When we toured Epcot and MK, we ended up taking our breaks at one of the resorts closer to the respective park. A nice big ice cream or frozen beverage, a stroll around the shops and a good half hour off your feet in the lobby area A/C works pretty well. From MK, I recommend the Contemporary, and at Epcot I recommend Beach/Yacht Club.
