We did it week before memorial day weekend (including Friday of...), had lots of requests (non smoking, on touchdown field, first floor, 2 doubles each) and we got exactly what we wanted. Boys were 7 and 11 at the time and they loved the AS sports...if I weren't wanting to try all the different resorts we would stay there again and request same area....right in between both pools and the kids could play on the football field as we watched them from our air conditioned room!!
