Kiddie pool at AKL?

[mlg32]

I am wondering if AKL has a kiddie pool? I have read info on different sites and sometimes a kiddie pool is mentioned and other times it is not?? Can someone confirm if there is a kiddie pool at AKL? Also it would be great to know if there are areas to play in the sand so I know if I should pack the sand toys or not? Thanks so much for your help!

Yes, there is a kiddie pool at AKL. It is a small, circular pool, just about one or two feet deep, that is right next to the main pool. The planners of AKL seemed to have thought of everything--AKL is incredibly user friendly. All the restaurants/ pools/ recreation stuff is all in the same area, so you can be with your two year old (well, my son was two at the time ), in the kiddie pool and then walk over to the game area or the self service food area for a snack. The main pool is huge, warm by WDW's standards, and beautiful. There are also two jacuzzis near the animal viewing areas that are very pretty and comfortable as well. It's a great resort.

The main pool also has zero entry, so many toddlers were playing in that area.

My memory is the playground (which is in the pool area by animal/jacuzzi spots) and looking at my photo, it has a sand area around edges, but I don't know if I would bother bring sand toys. Plenty to do to keep busy without it.

Yes, there is a sand box near the playground at AKL--so if you want to bring sand toys, that'd be fun for kids. It is a great play area, my son loved it.

Thanks so much for clearing that up, my 3 year old is a little freaky in the water this year but is fine in a baby pool. Maybe I will skip the sand toys or maybe just use a bellhop to get all my things to the pool
