Full size crib in an AKL room?

[Colinsmom]

We have a standard room at AKL and are thinking of renting a full size crib so my then-22mo DS will be comfy and we'll all sleep better (those PNPs are so crinkly). But where will it fit in the room? I know that it can be done, but please tell me how!

Thanks!!

We stayed at the contemporary in Aug and we requested a crib for our 5 month old son. It was the first time we ever requested a crib, so I was worried about what they would give us. They gave us a full size crib which they just put in the only open area of the room. It was at the foot of one bed and blocked the sliding glass door. It did make the room a bit cramped, and the contemporary has big rooms. It was so much nicer than the pack and play which our son refuses to sleep in.

The beds in AKL can be moved. The headboard will stay bolted to the wall, but if you move the 1 bed all the way against the wall and kind of slide the other bed a little closer to the sliding doors, it may fit in between the 2.
The only other thing I can think of is to put it in front of the closet, kind of 1/2 way into the sink area.
I love AKL, but those rooms are not exactly "spacious". It'll be tight.

Thank you, that helps a lot! We used a PNP in our AKL room 2 years ago (only one child at the time) and wedged it between the bed and the sliding patio door/curtain. But I figured that the crib would be too big for that - maybe not, as long as the beds move.

I know that it will be tight, so our space is precious, but so is our sleep!!

DS was 8 months old during our stay at AKL. IMHO, it's the best room configuration for a crib. We positioned ours by the sinks, there is a half wall between the sinks and the beds. It's a nice divider as you can keep the tv on, but there is no way DS could see us. We used PNP from them and just brought our own sheets for extra comfort. We were also at CR for a couple of nights at the end of this trip, and I hated the room after AKL. Have fun!!!

No problem - I actually had to move them becuase our first trip the mousekeepers forgot to bring the bed rails so I pushed the bed against the wall and put the 2 chairs on the other side.
But I think the better idea may be sticking it in front of the closet 1/2 way into the the sink area like PP said.
As long as you know going in that it's going to be a challenge, I'm sure you can make it work!

Does anyone know about full size cribs at the POP? Will they fit in a room?
