AKV Kidani Questions - cribs?

[KnitchyFingers]

We're leaving in two weeks for our first stay as DVC members - whee! We are in a two-bedroom villa at AK, though this is not our home resort. A few things for the newbie here:

1) Is there a hair dryer in the bathroom? I don't remember!

2) We will be traveling with my 16-month-old, 30 lb son. I called to ask about crib and bed rail options and they told me that cribs are complimentary. I was surprised as I was expecting to have to rent one. I was told to call back 10 days before arrival to reserve one. Can that be right?

3) Do they provide dish soap, paper towels and/or laundry detergent, or should I include that in my grocery order?

Thanks! Wish me luck. The daunting task of planning and packing for my family is staring me in the face!

1- yes. Each bathroom will have one.

2 - You'll get a pack and play in your villa. You probably won't get a crib. You'll need to request bed rails from housekeeping when you arrive. They are first come, first served. Calling ten days before you arrive won't do anything.

3 - You'll have a small bottle of liquid dish detergent, dishwasher detergent pouches and paper towels in the kitchen. Trash bags in the bottom of the trash cans. You'll get a single use box of Tide or All when you arrive and then another box on your next service day (if you are there seven nights or less, you'll get your trash removed and towels replaced on day four. If you are there eight nights or more, you get a full cleaning on day four and trash and towel service on day eight.) If you plan on washing more than one load of laundry every four days, you'll need more. And if you use dryer sheets, you'll need to bring those.

Also, if you drink coffee, you'll need flat bottom filters and coffee. You'll get at least one, maybe two pouches of filtered coffee each service day. Coffee makers are Mr Coffee style 10-12 cup type.
