AKL had the yellow life vests available for the children in several sizes. I would think both the Poly & WL would have them also as they are all deluxe resorts. I would call the resort first before packing one as they take up so much space.
They had life vests when we were there in August. We were able to sign one out for our entire trip (I think I showed my liscense or something). This made it easier than having to sign one out each time. They also allow swimmies(the arm bands).
AKL had the nice yellow swim vests - 2 buckles on front, 1 that goes between legs and buckles in back. They were available for use for any guests. No sign out or anything required. We were there about 3 weeks ago during the heat wave. The pool was very busy, with lots of yellow vests out there, but there were still more available in the bins. There seemed to be 2 different sizes. The larger size worked very well for my 4yr old DS. There are also plenty of towels available for the pool. Have a great trip! We did!
In December the Poly had the blue ones for my 3 year old ds. I had to leave my card at the desk, so I don't know if it would work for the entire trip. But it made me more secure since he loves going underwater! This year we are buying a speedo lifejacket at Target so all our swimming is easier.

wdisneyaholic.... nevermind the life vests... bless you for having 3 children under 3 and being able to take them all swimming! I find one toddler more than a handful!!!
Thanks mrsltg, this is our first trip really anywhere with all 3 kids. I hope that all goes well. We are staying at the Dolphin before the AKL, it should be an experience to say the least.
